Stop Action Photography with the MIOPS Laser Trigger

[@stevo7181]

This is great. Everything you do looks like so much fun.

[@TheSlantedLens]

+stevo7181 We do have a lot of fun! Thanks, glad you enjoyed it.

Do You know as a red light laser that would allow for continuous use over a period of a couple of hours? The power source would need to be batteries.

[@FictionRealmLW]

Hi, I'm not certain if you're still monitoring these comments but if you are I have a question... Can you use a focused LED light source instead of a laser beam? The reason I ask is because I'd like to have a beam that's larger than the standard 4mm beam you get from most pen lights so there is more 'wiggle' room for windy days etc. Thanks

Thanks GREAT VIDEO! What do you think of the profoto b2 for stop action?

[@TheSlantedLens]

+manuel tamayo It has a very fast flash duration. Not as fast as the B4's but impressive. The manual says Pro photo b2 has a flash duration from 1/2200 - 1/7400 sec. Its a great wedding and location set up. If I shot weddings I would have one.

[@MT-jf1tn]

Thank you!

[@ericc7936]

should i always be in Bulb mode to use miops trigger? why b mode? even for lightning?

[@paulocontente9993]

Another great video,thanks.

[@TheSlantedLens]

+Paulo Contente Your very welcome.

That laser trigger could be handly for wildlife that frequent a particular path (preferably the mild mannered herbavore kind!) I believe Nick Nichols once used an earlier (and more primitive) version of this setup to capture a wild tiger traveling to a water hole.

[@TheSlantedLens]

+pscully1969 Yes definitely!

[@TheSlantedLens]

+The Slanted Lens More to come on that thought.

[@pscully1969]

+The Slanted Lens Hmmmm.....Intriguing! :)

[@RHINOSEXY]

Where did you get your lazer from

[@TheSlantedLens]

+ryan wines Its just a normal lazer pointer form office depot used for presentations. The trigger does not care what lazer you use. Good Luck!

[@akin4u]

Can anyone speak to which is better, the Miops or the Pluto? Thank you.

[@TheSlantedLens]

Sorry, I have never used any devices from Pluto but I love the Nero (formerly Miops) and use it frequently.

[@rolandrick]

The Pluto trigger comes for the same price (or even less) with a laser included, having a ¼ tread for tripod mount 😉 No tape needed

[@Eric_Rossi]

haha great vid as always!

[@TheSlantedLens]

+Eric Rossi Thanks Eric!

[@StephanEilert]

[@TheSlantedLens]

+Stephan Eilert Thanks Stephan.

[@LilHazem23]

do you mind doing more "on a budget" videos?

[@TheSlantedLens]

+RMadrid What kind of budget do you have in mind?

[@TheSlantedLens]

+RMadrid I come up with some topics. What types of things are you looking for?

[@AMadScientist]

I'm not sure what the pocket wizard was for.

[@TheSlantedLens]

It is to fire the strobes. Thanks for watching!

[@melgibbson8955]

Remember.. your slowest flash d. will dictate your combined T1, T2 etc..

[@funfunfun536]

Mr. Morgan could you please say "Great Scott!" next time. You remind me one person (your behavior in front of the camera, to be precise). Just need to check. ;)

[@TheSlantedLens]

+Dmitry Kinyov That sounds weird enough to intrigue me. Yes I will! look for it in the Time-Lapse video coming February 4th. Great Scott!

[@funfunfun536]

+The Slanted Lens I'm looking forward for the next episode of your show!

[@abrikotv900]

I don't understand the goal to use laser, if I want to get a splach, I just set my camera to take 5 pictures by second

[@aussiepressconferences.4755]

Poor woman.

[@TheSlantedLens]

She had fun. And it was warm water. Thanks for watching!

[@sluchajela]

You don’t need miops to do it. Miops its a waste of money. !!!

[@TheSlantedLens]

Miops definitely helps to ease the process. There are probably other ways you could do it though.

[@f4ust85]

The good thing about miops is that you dont have to stand there and throw away 10 attempts to get one well timed shot. The bad thing is the Bulb mode. It is quite limiting, you need to work in complete darkness, it is almost impossible to work on location, then whenever something crosses the laser beam for a second time (like more water drops or your sleeve), it makes a double exposure, etc.
