## Description

Fire your camera without cables from your phone: bulb, intervalometer and timelapse over Bluetooth, using the same protocol as its own remote (Sony RMT-P1BT, Canon BR-E1).<br><br>Control several cameras at once, even from different brands, shooting in sync from a single session.<br><br>Astrophotography, star trails, timelapses, photogrammetry, VR/360 and multi-angle.<br><br>SHOOTING CONTROL<br>• Bulb for exactly the duration you set, or exposure decided by the camera.<br>• Intervalometer with countdown and estimated finish time.<br>• Anti-vibration delay and focus lock: no contact with the camera, no refocusing on every shot.<br>• Automatic reconnection after a Bluetooth drop: the session carries on, screen off included.<br>• Signal alerts before you lose a camera, with an optional alarm.<br>• Red night mode, to preserve dark-adapted vision.<br>• Presets, camera groups and session history.<br><br>BULBSYNC STICK<br>• A small device that stays beside the camera and runs the session from start to finish, with no phone required: lock it, walk away or switch it off. When you are back, the app catches up on what happened.<br>• Exposures last what you ask for: it measures how long each camera takes to open and close the shutter and compensates for it, with several cameras too.<br>• Several cameras and up to three groups shooting at once on a single Stick, each with its own sequence.<br>• Progress on its own screen, with three views to choose from, and speaker alerts if a camera drops or the battery runs low.<br>• Its battery gives about 6 hours of shooting (measured with 320 one-minute exposures, none missed) and over ten in standby; for a whole night, power it over USB-C from any power bank.<br>• We sell no hardware: it runs on an M5Stack M5StickS3 board you buy yourself. The first install is done from a desktop browser, in one click; from then on, updates arrive from the app. Requires BulbSync Pro.<br><br>WILL IT WORK WITH YOUR CAMERA?<br>• Sony: any Alpha with &quot;Bluetooth Remote Control&quot; — α7 III/IV/V, A7C, A1, A7R IV, A7S III, A9 II, A6100/6400/6600/6700, ZV-1, ZV-E10, RX100 VII and similar. α7 III and α7 IV verified in the field, with BulbSync Stick too.<br>• Canon: bodies with a &quot;Remote&quot; mode (the BR-E1 one) or &quot;Connect to smartphone&quot;. EOS R7 verified in the field. With BulbSync Stick, same protocol, pending verification; EOS R6 Mark II only through the Stick.<br>• Nikon (ML-L7 remote): implementation complete, currently being verified on real bodies. If you own one, help us close it: run it with debug mode on and send us the log, or write to support@bulbsync.com.<br><br>Check your camera&#39;s menu for a Bluetooth remote control mode. The full model list, with what is verified with the app and with the Stick, is at bulbsync.app<br><br>FREE<br>One camera, one preset and the last session in history.
