p.1 #1 · I built a Bluetooth shutter release.

I wanted to make long exposures and self-portraits on film simpler.
So I built a pocket-size Bluetooth shutter release.

The best part is, we've decided to make this a fully open-source project. We believe in sharing knowledge and wanted to give back to the community. You can find all the files � the 3D models, Arduino code, and schematics � on our GitHub page. Feel free to build one for yourself!

GitHub Repository: https://github.com/brian0726/Film-Oddments-_-Remote-Mini-DYI

Homepage: https://film-oddments.myshopify.com/products/remote-mini-for-diy-users-open-source-project

Key Features

Compact size: mounts cleanly on film bodies, the hot shoe, or tripod points without getting in the way
Bluetooth control: self-timer, bulb lock, interval
Rechargeable: USB-C charging / low-power standby
Adjustable throw: stroke adjustment for precise actuation
Modular design: the release module swaps easily, so changing to different lengths is simple
Emergency manual operation: works manually even if the battery dies or the connection drops

We hope this can be a fun and useful project for fellow film enthusiasts. Let us know what you think!

Nice!
Reveni Labs has been offering something similar for a few years now, but it's $200: https://www.reveni-labs.com/shop/p/remote-control-mechanical-shutter-release

Thanks!
Ours is Bluetooth-based, supports depth/stroke adjustment, interval shooting, and mobile app integration for modes like Aperture Priority (A) � plus many more features.
