Technical Information

StopShot is an advanced electronic timing device designed for people who want to take high speed pictures - not design electronics.

Techinical Highlights:

• Microphone input compatible with standard electret microphone.
• Input sensor jack has external power for IR LED's, Lasers or other 5Vdc loads.
• All outputs are short circuit and over voltage protected.
• Outputs capable of energizing relays or electronic valves (Outputs are protected from inductive loads).
• Accepts a wide DC input from a standard 2.1mm power jack.
• Standard 3.5mm mic jack.
• RCA connectors on outputs are robust, affordable and easy to wire (for those inclined to make their own cables).
• Each trigger output can be wired to drive several flashes, this is made easy with readily available RCA Y cables.
• All outputs are open drain (Can be used for flash trigger or shutter trigger).
• StopShot can be battery powered for field use, see our Li-Ion Battery Kit
