Polecam senza IO POLECAM   final version

Today the last tests of the final version of the polecam. The system allows basically remoting all camera command, including video ON/OFF, auto focus (follow), remote image shutter, shutter speed, ISO, and more.

I would like to thank all companies/brand who directly or indirectly helped me finalize my project; a special thank goes to the sponsors: Italcanna-Italy for the carbon elements, Gitzo-Italy for tripod and telescopic extension parts, LightCraft Workshop for the “Helmsman USB Control”.

Please do not hesitate to contact me for further details.

Monthly pic – April 2011

Image of the month

During one of mine ritual walk up to my valley, with the aim of checking for ice status on the surface of two small alpine lakes, I step into a great nature event; the mating and egg deposition of the Alpine frog (Rana Temporaria) which copulate on the last winter snow patches.
