“Most night photographers struggle with the most basic requirement to make long exposures: an intervalometer. I believe I’ve found the solution: the Phottix Aion. After much testing and firsthand experience with many, many manufacturers’ intervalometers—both in my own photography and by playing with what people bring to workshops—I affirm that the Phottix Aion is the best intervalometer you can buy. ”
“99 percent Adobe RGB color gamut. It takes a profile really well. I know I’m seeing as much as possible in the file. Plus, I really dig two other features: the ability to swivel to vertical any time, and the two USB ports and SD card reader built into the side.”
“I love the freedom of being able to walk into place, fire my camera remotely, and then begin light painting. No trying to beat a timer, running and trying not to trip in the dark. The Freewave is small, easy to use, and I love the blue LED on the receiver so I can see from far away in the dark that the shutter has opened.”
“Why didn’t we invent this? Perfect solution to keep your Shutterboss or any intervalometer from dangling off your camera. Seamlessly connects to your tripod leg and gives you access to all the buttons!”
