Switronix Inc. has released the FLEX DSLR Remote. The FLEX is a patent-pending, handle-mounted DSLR remote unit that triggers HD video start and stop recording for Canon 5D/7D.
The FLEX’s unique gooseneck arm houses an optic to be positioned within line of sight to the remote sensor on the Canon cameras (transmits up to 1m away, with a 135-degree spread). Once positioned, the remote transmits a signal through the optic when the button is depressed.
The arm can be extended up to 12" and coils down to approximately 3" in diameter. The FLEX's all-metal construction will stand up to the everyday rigors of HD DSLR video production. Max clamp diameter is 1.5". Powered by two included AAA batteries, the FLEX DSLR remote will have a street price of around $150.
The FLEX will begin shipping in early February.
