Hello - I want to try my hands at splash photography. Two options for the kit are MIOPS and Pluto. Anyone recommendations on which one to use. I saw some reviews complaining about MIOPS accuracy and repeatability. But Pluto is a really bare bone one and requires an additional trigger
Well, have you considered just using a Canon PowerShot with CHDK and a little Lua script? It's fast enough to trigger on lightening flashes, so should trivially handle triggering for a splash.
I don't have cannon Powershot - I believe buying a kit will be a cheaper option then investing in a new camera
No, they're dirt cheap. For example, the ELPH 180 is $89 at Frys, and I know it's a decent CHDK camera because I've been using a bunch of 'em. It's $109 at B&H. It's not going to blow away your large-sensor camera in image quality, but scripting is a wonderful thing.
Before you get some random powershot model, you just need to make sure it's supported by CHDK: https://chdk.fandom.com/wiki/CHDK
