User Reviews for Pulse Camera Control

First time using

I bought this a few years ago...a lot happened, I moved a few times, had stuff in storage...long story short, I just got my pulse out for the first time after a crazy few years hoping to take some long exposure shots of the perseid meteor showers tonight. Just downloaded the app, and went through all the steps to connect it with no luck. The app can’t find the device. Really bummed.

Haven't Gotten it to work yet

Waited months to get my pulse and after it finally arrived after the Post Office lost the first one. I went through the process of downloading the app, that worked well and seems to be okay. I got the pulse to pair with my iPhone 6+ but in the app it showed no camera attached. I sent Alpine Support an email about the issue and they got back to me quickly, told me there was a new version of firmware they wanted me to install. The firmware update appeared to install properly but after the install I reset everything in my iphone deleted the bluetooth pair from the previous release and then tried to pair using the new firmware(v1.1.8). The only thing the Pulse will do now is recharge the battery using USB. If I go ito the 'about' option on the main menu I can see the app at v1.2.2.fe4101e, the formware does not appear anymore. I can not get the Pulse/iPhone to do anything now. I guess the firmware update bricked my Pulse. I submitted a bug report 4-5 days agao and amstill waiting to hear back. I'm not a very happy camper right now and wished I had waited to purchase my Pulse. I'm sure they will get it working eventually but all of the the waiting I've done really upsets me.

More or less works, but very rough around the edges

It took some time to get my Pulse working, and it needs to be activated in very particular way, namely:Turn on camera (Canon 6DMk2)Turn on PulseConnect Pulse via USBOpen iOS appOtherwise it won’t work at all. HDR doesn’t work (presents an error message) and long exposure doesn’t either (takes a shot at a shutter speed besides what I specified). Bluetooth preview image is hit or miss too. I also verified that I’m at the latest firmware :-/I got this for time lapses, which do work though.

First impression

Would like to see image preview with current version and also histogram and Apple Watch support.

Absolutely terrible

According to the last update, they fixed an issue that would previously prevent the pulse from showing up in the devices page. That is a lie. No matter how many times I’ve turned on my Pulse and checked to see whether or not it was connected in my phones Bluetooth settings (it’s always connected, which means the Pulse Bluetooth works, as well as my phones) it never shows up in the devices list, which means I can’t even use it. It’s worthless.

Rank Garbage

A very dodgy product that works in whimsical ways. This company should be scrutinized for suspect business practices. The Pulse is a worthless tool that works almost never. Still can’t successfully make the Bluetooth work in 2018. Stay away from this company as you’ll be very disappointed.

Too many issues with canon t2i

I have used the pulse for a week now. Except for the issues that are already mentioned on their website, regarding the disconnection between the app and the pulse or between the pulse and the camera, which happens a lot, I have had more serious problems. Sometimes it puts my camera into a busy mode that won't go away till I disconnect the pulse. Other times my camera shows an error message in the viewfinder and nothing on the monitor, and won't function at all till I disconnect the device. This is too much for me and I am using my old intervalometer again. I think the device is released before enough tests on different cameras.

Buggy and somewhat unreliable

This set up is connected to a Canon 77D. Depending on the settings on the camera connection can be unreliable. The set up is also very specific and the unit has to be disconnected then reconnected to recognize the camera. The initial setup didn’t work and the Bluetooth connection had to be reset and deleted from the phone.

Saved my camera! Excellent accessory for astrophotography

I own a Nikon D3400 DSLR. As some may know, the only intervalometer available is an infrared point and click one. Not very useful for astrophotography. After looking everywhere online for another option I finally found the solution. The Pulse. Despite having some issues early on, it seems that Alpine Labs has come through and made a good product. I can now take astrophotography photos with multiple long exposure shots without clicking the shutter on the camera. Bluetooth connectivity is perfect, I have not had any disconnects yet. The only issue I’ve seen is occasional clipping with the onscreen text and numbers. Timelapse’s are super easy to set up and they even have preset ones you can try. I was afraid to try this out based on the reviews but I’m so glad I did!

PLEASE ADD APPLE WATCH SUPPORT

Apple Watch support would be incredible.Could just strap the Apple Watch to my Ronin or use it while also filming with another camera.I film concerts and have cameras sitting on stage while I am moving around and the ability to start video while far away at the click of a button from my watch would be incredible! Very interested in this tool, but won't buy it unless it supports the Apple Watch.
