DSLR remote control with wireless live video.

[Dennis]

Have a look at this review (http://martybugs.net/blog/blog.cgi/gear/PhottixHeroLiveViewWirelessRemote.h tml)which describes a remote control for your DSLR camera, but unlike most wireless remote controls, it also provides you with live video from your camera's viewfinder.

This works for DSLR’s that do not have Live View as well as those that have it. No wires to trip the shutter, or trip over, as well as the capability to view the live image on a small monitor.:)

Cheers

You can also do this with your iPhone if you have one - for $23.99

Pretty cool software :) Only caveat is that the camera has to first be connected to a 802.11-enabled laptop.

not sure if this would work for astro work denis? more general photo tripod stuff?

Thanks guys – in terms of personal interest or need, this is more of an indicator of what is yet to come, not a current requirement. The Canon OEM wireless file transmitter is around $1200 so it is interesting to see what 3rd party wireless devices are coming out.

For an extra $6 get Jaadu vnc for the iphone and control the whole pc/mac not just the camera.

Where do you get Jaadu for $6, they want $29.99 on itunes.
I didn't see any mention of it on the DSLR controller app site.
