Bit Part announced its first product this week: a remote camera control with long range, easy setup, and a sleek design.

I occasionally like to do some light painting with strobes. To make that easier, I ripped off the legs of an old light stand so that it is just a handheld pole with a light. I also wanted to be able to control my camera with a remote when holding the light so that I can operate my camera on a tripod and do everything without an assistant.

Unleashed '22 claims to be the Swiss army knife of camera accessories: a small camera module that allows remote triggering of photos and videos, offers control of long exposures and time-lapses, geotagging, and more, all controlled by an app.

Fujifilm has received rave reviews for its cameras in recent years, but sadly the same can't be said about its companion app for mobile devices. But Fujifilm just released a new major version of its Camera Remote app, and v4.0 promises design and usability improvements.

CamRanger has announced the CamRanger MINI, a miniature yet more powerful version of the CamRanger wireless camera remote control system that was launched back in 2012. It has twice the range, half the size, and two-thirds the price.

There are quite a few options in the form of applications and even other devices that will allow you to take photos with your phone via a remote, but none are quite as integrated as Selfy.

French smartphone device startup SmartMobilAccessoire is working on a new product called the Biiwatch. It's a watch-like device that's worn around the wrist, but instead telling you the time, it's designed to let you tell your smartphone when to snap a photo.

While working on some light painting shots, Sawo from Enlightpaintment was frustrated that he had to keep running back and forth from his camera. Even using an IR remote he was adding seconds of unnecessary exposure during which he wasn't actually doing anything but running. So, in a fit of creativity, he decided to put together his own DIY wireless remote using about $20 worth of equipment from Radio Shack and eBay.

When we told you about the StrikeFinder app earlier, we mentioned that what set it apart was that it used your actual iPhone's camera; it wasn't just acting as the trigger. Well, Trigertrap's new mobile app is just acting as the trigger, but it's acting as a very comprehensive trigger.

Trigger Happy is a new product that lets you use your iOS or Android smartphone as a fancy camera remote. It consists of an app and a one-meter-long cable that goes from your phone's audio jack to your camera. Besides acting as a simple remote shutter release for shake-free shots, the app offers bulb functionality for timing long exposures, an intervalometer for timelapse photography, HDR mode, and bramping. They're also working on lightning detection, audio waveform detection, face detection, and accelerometer-based triggering.
