Basically im wondering if there is a camera that has wireless remote shutter ability that will trigger burst shots or continuous shot mode for a certain length of time.
I'd love it if it didn't break the bank (older model years great) Any help would greatly be appreciated.
What about something like this? You need to find one that'll work with your camera though. But you can set how many photos to take and at what interval you want them (I think 1 sec is shortest interval) and even set a delay before it starts shooting so you have time to get you and your bike ready before the shots start firing off.
I have the Phottix Aion (about $100) and it does what it sounds like you want. It can trigger shots down to 0.1 second intervals, indefinitely. Works pretty well with my Canon 7D but it's not *quite* the same as manually shooting a continuous burst; it skips a beat every once in a while at that rate.
FYI, to get that burst rate I use the Aion's "interval" mode, not the (kinda lame, IMO) "continuous" mode.
I have a wireless remote for my Nikon D3 SLR that I purchased from "that global auction site" . It's a chinese item but is good for 100m range and so far after 3 years' use, has not faulted.
I have a GoPro Hero 3 Black Edition...it will do 30 frames/1 second bursts, or 1 second intervals indefinitely, or super high res video that you can pull stills from...comes with a wifi remote.
Just ordered this wireless remote shutter from amazon for $30, not sure how well it works. Also, unsure how to use it while riding past camera...
But says it has continuous shooting available. Which is the main reason I chose this one as I plan to use this to photograph some of the races this year.
Actually I'll probably just take the camera and tripod, set it up aiming at the trail I plan to ride past and use the video mode. I can get stills from that! A lot of stuff to carry on the bike, but if I'm out to take pictures, I'm not out for a workout ride anyway! Which also means I can take it easier and lessen the chances of me crashing.
Probably not for a beginner, but most Canon EOS cameras can take advantage of Magic Lantern, an open source firmware that includes motion-detect functionality.
I have not tried it with a bike yet, but I was quite impressed with how well the motion sensing worked.
In fact the whole thing is quite impressive, a must-have software that opens up all kinds of usefull functionality (including intervalometer, bulb ramping, etc.)
I'm very interested in this, but unfortunately I use Nikon, anything like this for Nikon?
