Time Lapse Single Frame Trigger on DSMC2 in photo mode / Whats the best option?

[Matt Bass]

I want to do a manual timelapse tabletop shoot in Photo Mode on the DSMC2 body but I will need an external device to trigger the camera since it will be hard to reach.

Has anyone used the Cinegears trigger? https://cinegears.com/product/cinegears-red-dsmc2-camera-trigger-package/

Or the Madley Films one? https://madlyfins.com/index.php?id_product=54&controller=product

Or is there another option?

I'm sure Alan has one or could make one

Foolcontrol.

I can't seem to find the single frame trigger in Foolcontrol's menu. What am I missing?

Foolcontrol.

I have confirmed Fool Control will indeed work as a single frame trigger which is great.

Now I'm discovering despite all of the different MODE options such as REDCODE Burst, internal Timelapse Timer, Frame Trigger, Speed Ramp Mode, Multi-Shot. Motion & Stills - these various options create individual clips that each go into their own folder on the Redmags.

All I want to do is simply manually trigger single frames but have them all play out in the same sequence so that I do not have 1000 individual folders on the REDMAG - so that I can just take my manual single frames and have them playback in one nice playable R3D file. Is there a way to do this?

+1 on this same question. I also have the need to manually trigger a frame but have them all go in one folder or create one clip.

In recording settings, set your record mode to 'frame trigger', and set the requested frames to zero before, zero after.

Then assign a key or GPIO input to the value 'record:mark frame' (by default this is mapped to the star on a dsmc2 side handle)

Then when you roll camera it will take an initial frame, then go into a standby mode waiting to record a new frame each time you press your assigned trigger button. They are appended to a single R3D file until you press the record button again to close the clip.

As RU is lacking a cute smiley heart button, I just want to say thanks for the good info. :smiley:
