Imagine if you could have an app on your iPhone that you could use to control your camera’s shutter? You could probably do some seriously cool and creative things with it. Well, the folks at Photojojo imagined that too. And now they’re offering just such a product: the ioShutter Camera Remote.
You plug one end of the ioShutter Camera Remote into the headphone jack of your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch. Then plug the other end into the cable release port of your camera. After that, you can use the free companion app to select one of six modes to control the camera’s shutter. You can choose from standard trigger, motion trigger, sound trigger, time-lapse, timer, and bulb. You can also combine modes. So for example, you can trigger a time-lapse with sound.
The ioShutter Camera Remote comes in two versions: E3 and N3. Both are $70.
