First the demo video of the iPhone 4S controlling the DSLR:













Why we thought this is a good idea?

Currently the DSLR remotes in the market are mostly directional.

Carrying an extra remote is always a pain when your phone can do better.

This adds extra functionality over a conventional remote by enabling you to program the camera into clicking automatic pictures.

App updates will be pushed via the Appstore to add extra functionality to the remote over time.

Depending on interest - we might open source the protocol in the future to connect to the DSLR dongle and you might be able to whip your own funky remotes.

Bluetooth 4.0 Proto-board with an Indian Ten Rupee Coin for size comparison.

Bluetooth 4.0 is amazing for us for the following reasons:

No extra hardware needed for iPhone 4S/the new iPad for connecting to the accessories.

No MFI license needed from Apple for producing these accessories.

The battery life on these accessories is amazing - a single coin cell can last for about 6 months.

The last few weeks we have been working with some very cool Bluetooth 4.0 Low Energy designs. Our prototype boards came in from the assembler about a week ago and we are happy to announce that they work perfectly :).Our current proto-board along with our in-house software enables us to quickly put together neat accessories - It took us little overa dongle for our Canon 400D to remote control the camera via an iPhone 4S [ The demo video took about 8 hours though :) ]We are currently open for collaboration - If you have an interesting idea or want us to design something for you, get in touch with us at - contact@bufferlabs.in
