Remote trigger for Sony NEX-5n
- Thread starter Dr.phil
- Start date
I use the GentLED to trigger the shutter, there are other alternatives out there.
Problem with the 5N is there aren't that many lenses available for it.I use the 18 - 55 kit lens the most and I also have the 16mm wide angle. I've used the 16 for APV but I think it has almost a GoPro like distortion at the edges so I tend to stay with the bigger lens.

Welcome to MultiRotorForums.com!!
DJ's shutter release mod is an option as well. he's got the directions posted at the photoshipone.com website
it allows you to wire the shutter to a switch that you can control with a servo channel. once done, it works great.

I use GentLed. It was hard finding a camera light enough that took good pictures. Plus many lacked infrared capability. Here's a vid of my setup. YouTube:

The cool thing with the Stratosnapper from LittleSmartthings on the NEX is that it supports both video on/off and shutter release, assign the trigger to a 3-way switch, works great, quite useful to toogle between photo and video while in flight. Drawback: works only for NEX right now (as far as I'm aware)

You have to either use a separate small camera for framing purposes or you need to get an HDMI converter. There are a couple threads here on the latter subject if you go that way.
