One of our favorite things to peruse and selectively support are tech and camera related projects on Kickstarter.
This site gives folks the opportunity to brings their dreams to the public and crowd source funding.
Basically the projects submitted do a pitch video, a write and then have various levels of investment.
It is a time sensitive situation, and the financial goal to reach must be done by a certain specified end date. If the money raised does not reach the goal, no one is out any money.
What do you get out of it?
It can range anywhere from a thank you in a book, on-line, or on screen, to an actual usable product.
We found the Triggertrap many months ago and watched a they made progress. And watched. and watched.
They keep up with email communications with the investors.

The trigger trap is a remote way to well, trigger your camera to fire.
And they these good folks behind went further. They designed a killer app. It does way more than just press the shutter.

These are available to the public now!

Can’t wait to test and bring you a real world review.
