One of the more interesting Kickstarter projects we saw at Photokina last fall was the versatile MIOPS Mobile Remote, enabling users to control DSLR and mirrorless cameras via Bluetooth with a robust smartphone app.

After securing over $275,000 in funding, refining the app, and completing the R&D process, MIOPS Mobile is now available on the company’s website for $125. The handy device is compatible with hundreds of cameras from numerous manufacturers, including Canon, Nikon, Sony, Panasonic, Fujifilm, Olympus, and Hasselblad.

MIOPS Mobile does more than let you use a smartphone to control basic camera functions like exposure settings. It also offers vibration, sound, motion, and distance controls, as well as a number of time-lapse capabilities. There are also several shutter release modes, including Press & Hold, Press & Lock, Timed Release, and Self-Timer.

You can find complete details, including a camera compatibility list, on the MIOPS Mobile website, and watch a demo video below. And while you’re at it, check out our preview of MIOPS Mobile from Photokina.
