Description:

A kit designed & built by Pirate for to sending an electronic signal to synchronise a camera with a special effect action. For example, it can be used with our air canons to send a trigger signal to our high speed digital video camera to begin recording at the instant that the projectile exits the end of the barrel. Futhermore, the trigger signal can be delayed in very small increments (0.0001 of a second) so that a stills camera flash pack can be triggered to take a shot at precisely the right time after an event. This the kit is a modern replacement for the Mazoff trigger kit and a Dale Beam or Dale Delay Kit, used by stills photographers for years. This kit has been used several times by N K Image (Nick Knight) for his superb ground-breaking images. The signal can be generated by either sound, laser (broken beam sensor) or a light flash.

Typical use of the kit - mounted on an air cannon, so that a suitable delay can be dialled-in between the ball leaving the cannon's nozzle and a flash pack being fired. This allows a photographer to fine tune the point at which an image is taken during a high-speed event. The kit has been used extensively by Nick Knight to great effect. Alternatively, the exit signal can be used to trigger our high speed digital video camera to start recording, thus maximising the memory capacity.

Images to be added: N K Image still shots - massive attack, glass paint balls. Sketch food video
