In this week’s video I look into the new features in the just released Camera Axe 5.3 software. There are a lot of interesting features here.
Here’s a list of the new features:
* Added gravity menu back
* Added stacker, panorama, jog, and irRemote features (Help from Don)
* Updated LCD lib to work with Arduino 1.0
* Changed file types from *.pde to *.ino as recommended for Arduino 1.0
* Updated ...
In this week’s video I look at the lag introduced by using a master flash to optically trigger a slave flash. Then I look at this extra lag and see how that would impact some common high speed photography cases like photographing a moving bullet and water droplets.
* Video about measuring Flash Lag
* Video about measuring Flash Duration
* Video about the MultiFlash board

This week’s video show the current design work I’ve done for a new board that can trigger multiple flashes or multiple cameras. There will be an LCD screen and a lot of advanced features such as delaying the cameras or flashes.
Whoever gives the best suggestion or best new name for this device will get a free version of this multiflash board when it’s done. This contest ends March 31st.
