Start with a wireless remote, then add extra functions as you develop

The latest new camera kit

Hähnel has replaced its Combi TF and Giga T Pro II flash trigger and remote release systems with the Captur. The primary module comprises a transmitter and receiver so you can trigger a camera or fire a flash remotely. The Pro Module (£69.99) adds motion, light and sound detection to the package, plus there’s an auxillary port for connecting third-party pressure plates and the like. Meanwhile the Timer Module (£49.99) adds the full intervalometer functions previously offered by the Giga T Pro II. There’s also an IR Module which can detect a continuous beam of Infra Red light from the transmitter and trip the camera shutter if it’s broken.

An affordable and versatile remote system.

I hope the interface is less fiddly than the Giga T Pro’s.

ABOVE The My Book Duo offers two hard disk bays and the ability to back one disk up to the other automatically. LEFT The hard disks inside the Duo can be removed and replaced if you need to boost your storage capacity.
