Control your DSLR camera with your iPhone using BlueSLR
Gone are the days where you need to buy dedicated remotes for doing things from afar. Ever since the advent of advanced wireless technology (Bluetooth, WiFi), smartphones with apps have been used to replace remote controls. It’s time to add one more device to the list of things which you can control- no, it’s not the car (though I expect that it would arrive sometime soon) but it’s the Digital SLR camera. If you own a Nikon D70, D3100, D5000, D3(S), D200, D300(S) or D700 and you own an iOS device, there’s no need for you to get a dedicated camera remote. XEquals has released a Bluetooth connector for you to attach to your camera so that you can communicate with it using your iPhone/iPod touch/iPad. All you need to do is attach the blueSLR Bluetooth camera connector to your DSLR, download the free app for your iOS device, hook both of them up and you’re set! Besides being able to take pictures remotely (from up to 300 feet away), you can even adjust the settings such as your camera’s shutter speed, focus, timer and more. The Bluetooth connector also comes with a GPS unit which can be used to geotag your images for easy sorting when you get back home. The blueSLR Bluetooth camera connector will set you back $149.00 and can be purchased online. At the moment only Nikon cameras are supported, but XEquals have mentioned that Canon support will come soon. Head here for more details about the device, and download the app from the iTunes App Store here.
Now here’s an iPhone 6S case that will certainly turn heads, especially when you take into consideration its name which is known as the OnePlus iPhone 6S case. That’s rather weird, don’t you think so? It will certainly take some getting used to before the name rolls off your tongue naturally. Well, we do know that The OnePlus iPhone 6S case can now be purchased for $19.99 a pop, and no, you do not need any kind of invite before you can snag one for yourself.
Each purchase will also be accompanied by an invitation to purchase a OnePlus X, just in case, you know, you would like to tread the Android waters. All in all, it comes in the kind of material as found on the OnePlus One and OnePlus X, which makes it a whole lot harder to lose grip of when you hold it – which is good!
If you are on the lookout for either the iPhone 6S or the iPhone 6S Plus, then here is news for you – chances are pretty high that you can pick up either one, or perhaps even both if you are feeling fat in the pocket, this coming September 18th. First of all, there was a leaked internal memo from Vodafone alongside Japanese site ITHome and German tech experts Macerkopf claiming that the new iPhones 6S models will roll out this coming September 18th in their respective countries
With Japan, Germany and the UK being tier one Apple launch countries, this means that those living in the mentioned countries will receive the iPhones at the same time as folks living over in the US – traditionally speaking, of course. There really isn’t that much time left to wait, as it is less than a month away, and I am quite sure that the time will pass by sooner than you think.
It looks like the folks over at Digitimes have come up with their own interpretation of things to come – that there will be no iPad Air 3 released, at least for this year. Digitimes has had their fair share of hits and misses in the past, so it would be best to take this rumor concerning the non-release of the iPad Air 3 in 2015 with a pinch of salt.
Digitimes also laid claim that the iPad mini 4 will not be as supercharged as some of the rumors that had been going around, as it will bring with it only small and incremental upgrades when compared to its predecessor, the iPad mini 3. This does not seem to bode well for fans of the compact tablet, taking into consideration how the iPad mini 3 itself was improved over its predecessor with a new Touch ID fingerprint reader.
Since Apple tends to roll out a new iPad in October, we will just have to sit tight and see whether this particular rumor has enough “legs” to run.
