Day & Night

From Day
to Night.

Capable of handling all lightning situations, the Lightning Trigger is your versatile companion. No matter if you use it in sunlight skies or starry nights.

Modes

Different modes for different
results.

Once the lightnings  hits, what your camera does next is up to you. The Lightning Trigger for your camera offers three shooting modes: Normal, Burst and Bulb. Each built for a different kind of moment. Freeze a single split-second event, fire a rapid sequence to catch the exact peak of the action, or hold the shutter open for long, light-painted exposures. Pick the mode that matches your shot, and the trigger handles the timing down to the millisecond.

 

Normal Mode

Don't rely on luck. Lightning Trigger automatically detects and captures every lightning strike.

Bulb Mode

No matter if you want to do bulb exposure or use burst mode. Lightning Trigger is your assistant.

Features

No matter what's your goal.
We've got you covered.

Aim for the stars and beyond.

The SmartTimer is equipped with a bulb mode that allows for long exposures, ranging from seconds to hours, with precise control down to 0.01 seconds. With the up top 100m wireless remote triggering and the weatherproof design (from -30°C to 50°C) you can eliminate any vibrations and achieve crisp, detailed images even during extended sessions in challenging environments.

Holy grail made easy.

Interval ramping allows for a smooth change of the interval over time, enabling you to capture more pictures in a given time. You can create sequences that seem to slow down time and highlight important moments. This is ideal for capturing dynamic scenes such as sunrises and sunsets, where lighting conditions change rapidly. Thanks to the ramping, however, the long exposure times required during the night are still possible.

Get straight to the point.

Linear timelapse is made effortless with SmartTimer. Set your interval, save presets for recurring locations, and use the offline app to tweak settings on the go. Its long battery life (up to 150 hours) ensures you can capture extended sequences without interruptions.
