Step 7: Putting everything together

 

Configure the Wi-Fi SD card and put it into your camera.

Download the Shuttersnitch to your tablet and install it. As soon as you have connected your tablet to the SD card, the pictures you take should be sended to your tablet. Take a picture and check if everything works fine.

Now you can either remove the battery pack of your camera and insert the power supply or just leave out this step. Depends on how you want to run it.

Screw the camera to the box and place the tablet in the right position.

 

Step 8: The right camera configuration and the flash

Set your camera to M – Mode, 7.1, 1/100s and the ISO depends on whether you use a flash light or not and how bright the available light is.

Screw the metal rod for the flash on top of the box. Mount the flash and connect it to the camera with the flash remote trigger, as well as to the power supply

 

Step 9: Have fun
