Still waiting for DSLR Remote v1.1 Approval

by Mike Wong on 08.19.09 in onOne Products • 18 Comments

For those of you who are anxiously awaiting the approval of DSLR Camera Remote v1.1 to be approved by Apple’s App Store review team, you are in good company. We spoke with our Apple Developer representative last week and the app is in the review queue, but that’s all we really know. We were told that they have so many apps to review that any app that is submitted, whether it is a brand new app or an update to an existing app could take between 3 and 4 weeks. Here’s a screen shot of our iTunes app status screen.

The May 15, 2009 date is the date of the original submission of the 1.0 app, not the 1.1 update.

That’s good and bad. The good part is that if you’re an iPhone or iPod Touch user, there are lots of apps being developed for your potential use. The bad news is that they have to be reviewed and that process takes time. Your continued patience is appreciated. Just remember that the Apple App Store review team is filled with people just like you and me who are working as fast as they can.

DSLR Camera Remote 1.1 update submitted to the iTunes App Store

For all of you who have been patiently awaiting, I’m happy to report to you that we have finished the development and testing of the 1.1 update to our DSLR Camera Remote app for the iPhone (and iPod Touch). This 1.1 update is free to all 1.0 users and will show up on your iPhone or iTunes as an available update when the app goes through the approval and review process of the iTunes App Store.

Please note, just to be clear, the 1.1 update is not yet available for download, but we have submitted it to the iTunes App Store for review. The review process can take as few as 2 days or as many as 2 weeks depending on the number of other iPhone apps that are awaiting approval ahead of our submission. These things just take time.

I will be sure to post a new entry here on the blog when we get the approval and I will also put out a tweet on Twitter. If you want to be one of the first to know, subscribe to the RSS feed for this blog or follow me on Twitter.

The full list of features in the 1.1 update can be found here. In addition to Canon T1i support,we have also added support for many of the Nikon DSLR cameras as well. A full list of supported cameras (both Canon and Nikon) can be found here.

The Falcon – Stop-motion film

One of the guys I work with here at onOne just posted a link to this video on his Facebook page and I thought it was so cool that I wanted to share it with you here. Very creative and very well done. The music is fantastic. Check it out.

The Falcon is a steampunk stop-motion film in HD that stars Professor Weston (ISO 50), Silly Patty (+2/-2 EV) and ‘Howell’ the Owl (f/256), as they journey throughout the Focal Kingdom searching for dinner. The Falcon is composed entirely of macro-photographed hardware pieces from disassembled vintage/antique cameras and features music from eslmusic.com artist Thunderball, with sound design by Bret Johnson.

From A.gfa to Z.eiss, and whatever your (small, medium or large) format, The Falcon has a perspective for everyone. Visit thefalcon.tv nest for the synopsis.

Special appearance by: the Aperturians, and Howell’s wife Bell. Partial list of parts: Falcon Minette, Argus AF & C3, Mercury II, Yashica TL, assorted Weston Light Meters, various Polaroid Land Cameras.

Rob Galbraith’s Review of DSLR Camera Remote version 1.1

by Mike Wong on 07.28.09 in Uncategorized • 12 Comments

Most of you have already seen this I suspect, but in case you haven’t, we made a pre-release version of our upcoming DSLR Camera Remote 1.1 available to Rob Galbraith and true to form, he ran it through it’s paces and wrote up the most complete and thorough review that I’ve seen so far.

“The upcoming free update is about more than just bringing Nikon users in from the cold. It also introduces just enough vital changes to transform DSLR Camera Remote from a curiosity into a useful tool.”

If you are interested in DSLR Camera Remote v1.1 for the iPhone and haven’t read this review already, you owe it to yourself to do so. Not only does the review go in-depth on the current (and soon to be publicly implemented) features and point out some areas where we can improve the software in the future (better integration with a PocketWizard setup for example), but Rob has posted some great example shots of using the app with a camera in studio as well as mounted to a shot clock in a basketball game.
