hey guys a from Elijah Gadget Hunter
0:08
here at macw World 2013 with culac I'm a
0:12
photographer you may not know that about
0:13
me and I found a really cool gadget for
0:15
those of you that are also photographers
0:17
it's called the cam Ranger I'm here with
0:20
the owner founder developer indeed do it
0:22
all guy David and he's going to tell us
0:25
a little bit about what you can do with
0:27
this handy device uh it kind of caught
0:28
my attention because I was walking by
0:30
they have an iPad set up with an
0:31
application that you can download from
0:33
the App Store I'm assuming and it's free
0:36
and with this device paired with your
0:37
iPad uh Mac OS or any Mac that you have
0:40
or your iPhone you can control your DSLR
0:42
and the UI actually looks really good so
0:44
David why don't you tell us about what
0:45
this gadet can do sure sure um so
0:47
basically yeah it's a little Hardware
0:49
device that uh connects up to your Canon
0:51
or Nikon digital SLR creates its own
0:53
Wireless you know Wi-Fi network so you
0:55
don't need an existing computer or
0:57
Internet or anything like that um and
0:59
then gives you a really high level of
1:01
control the types of stuff you can do
1:02
you know live view uh touch focusing
1:05
movie modes image capture viewing full
1:08
resolution images change all sorts of
1:11
settings HDR I just want to interrupt
1:13
you real fast cuz that's one of the
1:14
things that I noticed too is like really
1:16
granular control I mean control over
1:18
just about everything at least in my
1:20
camera I have a Canon 5D Mark III and it
1:22
seems like you have everything in there
1:25
uh I mean I'm not going to say there's
1:26
everything in there but uh certainly you
1:28
know most everything you would want to
1:30
use on a regular basis so tell us a
1:32
little bit about the different apps they
1:34
all have similar uis right so it kind of
1:36
has like the main layout and then you
1:37
can control all the different features
1:39
all around the app uh yes we have a uh
1:42
iPad as well as um iPhone and iPod Touch
1:44
version we just released a Mac beta
1:47
version available on the website um and
1:49
yeah it's got the same general kind of
1:50
layout of you know you got your image
1:51
you got your controls you know changing
1:53
your camera controls as well as more
1:55
advanced ones if you're doing you know
1:56
your HDR or time Labs or Focus
1:59
adjustments like that and as you take
2:01
pictures you know shows up on the top
2:02
you can download your full resolution
2:04
images if you want to save them to your
2:05
photo library to share them you know
2:07
with Facebook or email them your friends
2:08
or you know whatnot and actually I was
2:11
noticing too that if you wanted to do
2:12
like time shots um the the app looks
2:16
like it's really useful for that so you
2:17
could just set up time shots and just
2:18
have your camera just take pictures uh
2:20
yeah that's actually a common
2:21
application particularly for like you
2:23
know at night time you're doing start
2:24
Trails or things like that um once you
2:26
set it up you know when to start how
2:28
many shots to take a delay in between
2:30
each shot and then once you set it up
2:32
you don't need to have your iPad or
2:33
iPhone connected anymore so you know if
2:35
you're outside in the cold you just set
2:36
it up and then you can go back inside to
2:38
your house or tent or you know wherever
2:40
you are and uh I'm not sure if I
2:42
mentioned this so works with the major
2:43
DSLR so cannons and nikons most of the
2:46
features I was looking at your spec
2:47
sheet work on all the major dslrs out
2:50
there um but doesn't work for Sony right
2:52
now or penasonic or any of those other
2:55
lesser dslrs oo I just got myself in
2:57
trouble yes I won't call this them
3:00
lesser um maybe that was the wrong word
3:01
that was the wrong word how about less
3:03
popular in the market I like that much
3:05
