The iPad is running the CamRanger software which, in this particular case, is driving not only the camera settings but is also programming and driving the Cognisys StackShot Rail. These pictures show a Wimberley jointed arm (attached to the Arca-swiss plate on the camera) supporting the iPad.Ī pair of Bowen's double-ended Multiclips clip onto the iPad to support its front cover so that it can act as a sunshade for the screen. This arrangement provides the perfect large-format LiveView viewfinder for product shots or macros. Subscribe to see EXIF info for this image (if available) My CamRanger drives the StackShot remotely by WiFi and the iPad acts as a remote viewfinder I drive it by radio through CamRanger and an IPad and this is the rig which I put together: the blue rubber bands and bulldog clips being the key component of course. StackShot uses a very accurate stepping motor to move the camera in minute but programmable steps between each exposure. (I have had my StackShot for more than ten years now so naming the act of exposing the original series of images 'Focus Stacking'seems to precede whatever Nikon may choose to call it?!). No shutter cable is required if used with Helicon Remote.> The shutter cable is required if using StackShot stand alone (with no computer) or with Zerene Stacker. It allows the StackShot controller to control your camera to make the image capturing process completely automated.

The shutter cable is the communication link between the camera and StackShot. automate the image collection process for focus stacking just add the camera specific shutter cable.
