High End Compacts

Rigs for High End Compacts like the Sony-NEX5, the Ricoh GX200 or the Canon G11.

Triggering the camera

Most modern high end compact cameras have the option of being triggered from the outside. For some there is a wired remote available. Or there is an infrared system for it. And some of the Canons can be treated with CHDK* or SDM* firmware. If the camera works with this firmware the camera can be triggered by a gentWIRE-USB (Canon). Of course there is almost always the option of triggerring by a servo if nothing else goes.

* For more information on CHDK go to the CHDK-Wiki and for SDM visite the homepage of the StereoDataMaker.
