BlueSLR: Bluetooth Accessory for Turning iPhone into Camera Remote

Have you ever thought of using your iPhone as a camera remote controller for your hi-def DSLR camera? Well, if you have not given it a thought then you better get serious about it because BlueSLR is going to turn this fantasy into reality. BlueSLR is basically a Bluetooth accessory that allows users to use their iPhone as a dedicated remote control for a DSLR camera. Moreover, BlueSLR will also embed GPS info from that particular unit into the photos that you will take. As the device employs a Bluetooth connection with iPhone so line-of-sight is not needed to trigger the DSLR camera.

Coming over to the software realm, there is a BlueSLR companion app as well and with this app users can adjust focus, timer, shutter speed. This app can also tell your camera that how to take a certain number of snaps within a specified time frame. Users can also tamper the update frequency of GPS. The GPD information will resultantly be embedded into the JPEG or the RAW files and these are also compatible with photo editing and sharing tools like Flickr, Picassa and iPhoto.

On the downside BlueSLR is only available for Nikon cameras but the developers XEquals are also promising that they are planning to add support for Canon soon. Right now, there are 3 different models available; Nikon Essential and the Nikon Advanced are the top ones. The BlueSLR accessory has a price tag of $149 and its native app is a free download from the Apple App store.
