Anyone knows where to buy a nice sound-activated flash trigger for high speed photography?
Must be in Singapore, and no eBay or Amazon.

Thanks lots~

Edit: by the way what's the difference between what a motion trigger (laser?) and a sound trigger captures?

there isnt one as far as i know but if you know digital electronics and handy with soldering iron, quite a simple job to create a trigger be it sound based or whatever.

An ignorant question, isn't light faster than sound for high speed purpose?

But I'm not asking about light ^^
 

Why sound?
 

coz the shots i intend to do will create sound? which do you guys think is better? laser or sound?

I have no idea why you're thinking in such a direction. Both with the laser and sound.
Even if they were possible, it'll be highly complicated devices in terms of filtering out unwanted sources.
Does anyone smell a troll?

do you even know how high-speed photography works?
 

have you calculated that the subject will actually be slower then the sound it will produce for sound activation to work?

meaning?
i intend to capture something like... let's say pop a balloon and capture the few split seconds after the burst starts. or smack a wine glass and capture the glass splitting apart
 

Never heard of such a trigger before...hmmm

i have and seen. and know where to get.

if you've seen people taking photos of objects getting shot by a gun. they use sound triggers.

but i don't help rude people.

Ahhh. I just realised what he's talking about

not in my control. whenever i try to make it sound better it just gets worse. but nvm, you already answered part of the question
 

I know where to get it in local shops too, but I will never help rude people, they don't deserve my help.

thanks in advance! don't worry. i won't pass it on unless it's a nice person ;)
 

Then now everyone got influenced by one single person. Time to close thread
