Pinout: a smart, versatile gadget for your camera

05/18/2017

To take this star trails night photo, I used a Pinout remote controller/app to set the amount of each individual exposure, set the star trails, and trigger the camera. There is nothing like using a new device in the field, especially for night photography, where things need to be easy to use and accessible and work correctly the first time. This was shot out in Joshua Tree National Park in California, and I really enjoyed using the Pinout. It worked extremely well. I did not need to worry about charging additional batteries since Pinout is powered by the camera. The app is intelligently, intuitively laid out, so I didn't need to read any instructions. And it just worked. Excellent device that I would recommend for anyone into night photography, remote triggering, time-lapse, remote focusing, and quite a few other features. Excellent product that I have been blogging about and recommending in the two Facebook photography groups that I am an Admin for.

The Joshua Twins Star Trails (5477)
This is a star trails photo, showing the movement of the stars as created by the rotation of the earth over 30 minutes. I love how a single image can show movement over such a long time! This is a real photo taken at night during a full moon. I set my tripod-mounted camera to a long exposure, keeping the shutter open for a long time, which makes the camera much more sensitive to light than our eyes on this already bright evening. I illuminated the foreground with a hand-held ProtoMachines LED2 flashlight to bring out more depth. I used a Pinout remote controller/app to set the star trails, including the amount of each of the ten exposures that were eventually "stacked", and trigger the camera.

I took this photo in Joshua Tree National Park, CA, hanging out with Dave Dasinger while doing so. JTNP is my spiritual home for night photography, and it felt utterly fantastic to return here to photograph here at night and hike during the day.

We would like to share some pictures sending from the manufacture last week to report the status of the mass production.

The plan of this week is to put all things together, and it may take some time to make sure every pieces of them works properly.

We hope everything goes smoothly and bring Pinout to you soon.
We will update you again soon.

Dear backers,

It has been a month since we updated you last time.

During this month, we have finished developing all the necessary functions for basic and pro kit. Those functions have been submitted to Apple and Google for reviews.

However the process of bringing this product to market seems to be taking us longer than we anticipated. It takes longer time for apple to review it since Pinout app works along with the product hardware.

And in order to make sure the app works properly on major Android phones, we need to get more devices and test on them.

We do apologize for this delay but please believe that this extra time will allow us to make the best product possible.

As the future schedule, the mass production will begin at the next week, and hopefully we can start shipment at the end of May with the reviewed app.

Here are some pictures of pinout, it was sent from the manufacturer for verifications.

Thank you for your support and look forward to getting you a great product as soon as possible!

Best wishes

Long LI and the Pinout team

Hi all,

Sorry for the late update. We’d like to inform you that everything is on schedule right now.
Recently we are working on our mold trial to make sure that the basic functions work properly.
And here are some pictures of new Pinout package design and we are doing everything needed to bring it to you as soon as possible.

Hopefully we can finish the mass production in the middle of April and start shipping at the end of April.

Thank you for your patient and support.

Let's Pinout time-lapse. A series of pictures are captured at a particular interval and played back to yield what looks like a video. This feature is perfect for capturing subtle changes to scenery or objects over a period of time. Time-lapse allows you to cut through the noise and observe things from a different perspective by manipulating the flow of time. more details: http://igg.me/at/pinout
