What's New in Triggertrap Mobile

4.1.9

October 10, 2019

Updated for iOS 13, and Dark Mode. It's old news to us, but it seems that the rest of the world has caught-on - using a bright display in dim light hurts your eyes! We knew that years ago, and we also realized that the backlight of your iPhone can sometimes give off unnecessary light affecting the photo you're trying to take. Because of this, we introduced Night Mode - a setting to change the colors and theme of the app. With the introduction of Dark Mode in iOS 13, we've updated our Night Mode to work with the system settings. Now, if you have Dark Mode enabled Triggertrap Mobile will automatically adapt to choose the correct theme. Enjoy ~ Alex & Ross.

Works with iPhone 13 Pro

Just use the lightning to headphone adapter. The triggertrap with the attached cable plugs into it.

I had it backwards using the small cable extension to headphone cable.

I just wish this app was updated so we can use the iPhone camera so we can use external flash. I’d love to set the iso, shutter, aperture on the iPhone app and connect it with an external flash. Maybe use the slow motion video to determine the sync delay so when the app fires, it captures the flash!

I’m sure more triggers would sell if that was possible!!!

Doesn’t work with iOS 14

Please update the app. It doesn’t do anything with my iPhone X using iOS 14.

I’m back on board...

Noticed the update and going to pull the dongle out the cupboard!

Excellent App

We have used nearly every feature in this app with the TriggerTrap Dongle, TriggerTrap flash adapter, and Canon cameras.

We have been able to catch pellets in mid-air as they exit a water balloon, photograph multiple angles at the same moment of a balloon bursting from a pellet, the HDR settings, time-lapse, and more.

I have contacted TriggerTrap support asking for specific information regarding actual flash delay on my specific phone, the iPhone 6+. A response came immediately stating they would check into it and then a day later I had the average durations with airplane mode enabled and disabled. Really can't beat that level of service.

We have used the TriggerTrap flash adapter with Yongnuo flashes and triggers without issue.

I highly recommend this app and accessories for your photographic needs.

Thankful

Very happily surprised this app continues to be updated although the hardware is no longer sold. It allows me to continue to enjoy my purchase years ago.

Thank you!
