ShutterBug Pro is a tiny accessory that helps take digital or film
camera snapshots. It is ideal for photographers that need to
remotely snap photos or require an intervalometer timer.
Despite its tiny size, it is packed with features.

FEATURE SUMMARY

#

Remote shutter activation using a model hobby R/C receiver (not included).

#

Standalone intervalometer operation using a flexible internal timer.

#

Auto-Sequence shutter control for continuous snapshots.

#

Supports two-stage (focus/snapshot) shutter operation.

#

Compatible with R/C servos for mechanical shutter operation.

#

Direct connect shutter interface uses safe solid state switches.

#

Digital camera “keep awake” function.

#

#

Low current draw. 2mA idle, 35mA (plus servo) during snapshot.

#

Weighs ~four grams, size 0.9" x 1.2"

WHAT IS IT?
ShutterBug Pro is a convenient accessory for expanding a camera’s shutter features. It
precisely operates the focus and shutter stages upon a timed event or remote control signal. It
can even auto-repeat the shutter for a rapid series of shots. It also can be used to prevent a
digital camera from turning itself off, which is a real lifesaver in some applications. 

A hobby R/C servo (not included) is used to activate the camera’s shutter button. Direct wire
interfacing is possible too. For wireless remote photography, ShutterBug Pro is compatible with
many popular model hobby R/C systems.

The photo on the left shows a small blue servo installed on a
digital camera. In this installation the R/C servo was mounted
using double sided foam tape (so it can be removed without
damaging the camera). The servo’s rotating arm is carefully
positioned above the shutter button. 

Please keep in mind that each camera will be different. So
some mechanical trickery is often needed to accommodate
the servo. Just use your creativity to devise a reliable
mounting arrangement.
