24 alternatives to A high-speed laser camera trigger for under $2
Testing a high speed flash means I need an extremely fast laser camera trigger. And by fast, I mean microseconds (millions of a second). Having recently finished working on Triggertrap Ada, which is the highest-performance, most feature-packed camera trigger out there, I wanted to go the opposite di
This is a minimalist laser camera trigger designed for high-speed flash photography, responding in microseconds. Built with a strict $2 budget constraint, it strips away configurable features to prioritize speed and… Below are 24 products that do a similar job, ranked by how close each is in meaning and then by launch-day votes. A high-speed laser camera trigger for under $2 launched in 2014; newer entries below may have overtaken it.

Hello HN! I want to share something me and a few friends have been working on for a while now — Zeroshot, a web tool that builds image classifiers using text-image models and autolabeling. What does this mean in practice? You can put together an image classifier in about 30 seconds that’s faster and more accurate than CLIP, but that you can deploy yourself however you’d like. It’s open source, commercially licensed, and doesn’t require you to pay anyone per API call. Here's a 2 minute video that shows it off: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4R1gtmM-Lo How/why does it…

TinyFast▲319I am a developer. I have been building stuff for the last 13 years. One common challenge in all my projects is compressing assets to make them as small as possible. I used to end up using online compressors, but this has a lot of privacy concerns. So, I finally set down for couple of weeks and built this simple app. I can just drag and drop assets in it and it shrinks them. It currently supports around 25 file types. I built a lot of iOS apps but this is the first time building a macOS app, so any feedback is welcome.

TypMo▲154Hello HN! I’ve been working on a small tool that helps you move from quick wireframe experiments to solid, production-ready prompts. As a designer, I’ve always felt that getting the structure right early saves a ton of pain later. TypMo leans into that idea by grounding everything in IA-style wireframes- fast to create, easy to iterate, and perfect for figuring out what you actually mean before throwing prompts at AI. I’m now pushing it a step further with a lightweight DSL. Still early, still rough around the edges, but with some AI help it’s starting to feel real. Would love to hear what…

I wanted to record the aurora last weekend, but I only have a Blackmagic Design video camera which is clearly not made for this purpose. Recording a video of the night sky results in extreme noise to the point that you don't really see anything, so I wrote a tool to significantly reduce noise in such video recordings. Essentially it computes a moving average across video frames which significantly reduces the random sensor noise. This works because aurora changes very slowly, and it's roughly comparable to a long exposure time computed out of a video file where the individual frames have a…

Heya. I created a flexible collision engine for broad detection in C that's also pretty fast. Personally that's my best, so I wanted to show it here. Although... still not as fast as DragonEnergy's one that supposedly handled millions of agents bouncing off each other every frame on an old i3, haha. I hope I get better at this! He set the bar pretty high for me. I was considering including some small function that tries finding the nearest entity, although I think it might be better to simply use query for that matter. Perhaps in the future I will get a good idea of how to do that more…
