How do you catch a butterfly in flight and in 3D? You do it with this laser triggered photo rig.
This it yourself monster is an absolute beauty of at-home engineering. It has dual focus planes, dual flashes, a laser trigger, and enough machined aluminum to make us wish we had a CNC out in the garage.
If you’re one part photographer, one part electronics tinker, and one part machinist, this is the kind of weekend project that will cement you into neighborhood DIY lore. Hit up the link below for a full build guide and sample photos.
