| d'Trod - The Back Story From the time I first saw Disney's Living Desert, I've wanted to do some of the same cool time lapse photography for flowers opening and other slow events like I saw in the movie. Fast forward (for far longer than I'd like to admit) and, for the first time, I had a camera with time lapse capability! My iPhone 3G and a neat little app, TimeLapse, let me control the timing of my shots without being present and pushing the button. COOL! But, I then found out there wasn't any way to attach my iPhone to my camera tripod! How can I take time lapse photos of anything, let alone a 9-hour series of a night blooming Sirrus cactus, without attaching to a tripod/stand or something? Bummer! I'd realized sometime earlier that, of the 25,000 photos in iPhoto of the grandkids (mostly taken with my iPhone), I was in only a handful and those were taken by 4-year olds. Not much of a legacy. Now, I'm the kind of guy who walks through a store looking at things, not as they are are or are intended, but for what they could otherwise be used for. So, I found a temporary solution, worked but looked like cr*p. I even designed a really cool holder and spent thousands of dollars getting a prototype before I learned it would take a hefty five-figures to just produce the molds for it. Everyone said I was nuts, that no one wanted to take pictures or movies with their low quality iPhone camera. Dadgumit, I did and I figured out of the other zillion or so other iPhone owners, someone would. This is where the proverbial rubber meets the road... I came up with a workable solution, easy to use and affordable to produce in the USA. It's a simple L-shaped piece of acrylic, a couple of strips of Velcro® and a threaded screw hole. I added a laser engraved logo and web address for a little pizzazz. The d'Trod system includes:
Using Duplicam, I can set my iPhone on the tripod outside for taking bird/squirrel pictures and snap pictures remotely using my iPad inside or far removed. It's worked perfectly for me about 100' away, outdoors, line of sight. Great for monitoring kids or pets in another room. While the case is designed for an iPhone, if you want to use something else, just get some Velcro strips at the store and you can use anything with d'Trod. That's the beauty of d'Trod, it is a system which allows you to attach anything to a tripod mount. Anyway, bottom line is, d'Trod is really handy if you like taking photos and videos with your iPhone or other smart phone and would like to get a lot more out of it. Only d'Trod works perfectly with all Apple iPhone models and other phones and media devices. |
