I'm Back Proposes Wired Sync Button for APS-C Kickstarter Nearing $1M
I'm Back's Kickstarter for the Roll APS-C digital sensor back is approaching $1 million in funding. Responding to user feedback, the company has replaced the previously planned wireless Bluetooth remote with a new wired Sync Button that allows photographers to activate the sensor and trigger the camera's shutter with a single press. The button connects via a flat cable and works with cameras that have threaded or non-threaded shutter buttons. The final product will be made of anodized aluminum. The Kickstarter page has not yet been updated to reflect this change, and details on how existing backers will be affected remain unclear.
