MIOPS vs Pluto trigger?

There is a thread elsewhere but no one replied to the OP.

Like that member, I am interested in these triggers and wondered if anyone could compare them in practice, or comment on either?

Hi,

First of all, MIOPS has 3 different products as Smart Trigger, Mobile Remote and Mobile Dongle.

MIOPS Smart Trigger has long duration, rechargable and replacable LiOn battery so you can use it up to 4-5 days with one charge. Pluto uses LiPo battery like MIOPS Mobile Remote and they work around 24 hours with one charge.

MIOPS Smart Trigger has an LCD screen and buttons to make all setup so you don't need smartphone to make it working. It is also possible to make the same setup from smartphone. Pluto and MIOPS Mobile Remote needs smartphone to be able to work.

I think you have to check also the build quality of these triggers before decide about them. All of them have similar functionalities but if your first aim is doing high speed photography (popping balloons, breaking glasses, lightning strikes, bullets etc), MIOPS Smart Trigger will be the best choice. If you need this kind of triggers for creative photography and shutter release functions like Time-lapse or HDR photography etc then you can choose Mobile Remote or Pluto. As I know, MIOPS products have funded at succesfully at Kickstarter. You can also check the review of these brands to give the final decision.

I hope this helps to you.

Regards.

I placed my order (Pluto), did my payment an now I'm waiting...nothing since 2017/11/30!

Would never buy again from China!!

Did you ever receive your trigger? I ordered on in early January and am still waiting for it to ship.

Any luck with the Pluto yet?. I was about to order one last night but their web site says on holiday and can't ship until Feb 25th!.

I received the pluto kit in early Feb. It is a nice kit, once you figure it out.

I ended up going for the UK made `Versatrigger` not to be confused with a similar named trigger for drums! Will post as and when I have it sussed!.

Pluto is like a very bad copy of MIOPS i think.

I bought and tried both of them.

Miops contains more features and functions according to Pluto. If you wanna use the trigger more professionally, you can buy MIOPS and i was very happy with their customer service! They helped me about product details very well!

As a sum I prefer Miops !

Looks like one is influenced by the other, not sure which was launched first.

Not used MIOPS but Chinese Pluto is really mediocre.

Pluto is good for amateurs only. price is surely a plus for Pluto.

I have a system with incredible response time. Have you ever photographed a balloon popping, without having to use water in order to slow down the action?

Hi, did you receive your trigger in the end? And if so, how long after you ordered it?

Thanks

i am going to order the Miops. the pluto has several bells n whistles but i have been trying for 6-7 months to get a decent drop. have watched 2-3 tutorials several times and done hours of practice. i had the splash kit. i had success in about an hour. wonderful images. but it broke out of warranty. not worth sending to england. so i wanted to try the miops now.

Please let me know how it goes for you. Having equipment malfunction is a real pain, so I hope you get something more reliable next time. I have never seen a system than can capture popping balloons without any water, as mine can, and I'd be interested to know if yours can.

I recieved mine some weeks later. accu is always empty, could not use it outside.

I cannot recommend to buy it.

Can the MIOPS work wirelessly ? If not, it's useless for me :-( !

TIA,

J-P.

I ordered my Miops and received in 5 days,,easy to use as well

Hi. I would like to know how your Versatrigger is working out for you. I have purchased both the Miops and Pluto in hopes of using the laser mode outdoors, Both work reliably inside away from a window or bright lighting, but utterly fail in any strong ambient light. I have rigged both with light shroud and pinhole orifices, and it works moderately well, provided you can orientate the sensor orifice away from the ambient light source (usually the sun). This setup requires serious rigging and is not suited for a quick and easy impromptu setup outdoors, which is what I need often. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks

I'm waiting sincehalf year on my pluto trigger but it wasn't delivered at my home address,much excuses but no trigger and now I have the Miops trigger and Miops is just fine to me Id it works great don't need the Pluto any more, the Miops do the right job, can do all the Pluto can do ,I'm happy with it,

Recharge is simple(it has a replacebale battery) ,update the firmware is easy,, soI think you better buye the Miops or try it from someone you know who has the Miops allready. That cansave a lot of money!

Wish yoy much success and fun trying one of the triggers

The MIOPS does work wirelessly. Uses Bluetooth and is probably the fastest/easiest connections of any Bluetooth device I own. I also have the Splash kit and the wired unit that uses your phone as the trigger. All are very well made, customer service is great, and they've continued to update the apps and firmware.

The Splash kit takes a bit of experimenting, but once you get it dialed in, it's a ton of fun to use. I just have to remember that every exposure has to be evaluated--it's easy to shoot hundreds of shots, then realize you have to cull them. Kind of like mindlessly eating an entire bag of chips - why did I do that?!

I know this is quite a bit "after the fact", but hope it's helpful to someone.

I am glad you have found something you like. I am planning to launch my own device on the market, early next year. One of the unique functions is has is being able to tell when the target occupies a certain position in space.
