Press Release

Powerful User-Friendly Wireless Control on the Screen of Your Phone

Boulder, CO (June 1, 2016) — Alpine Labs, a rising leader in next generation photography, is pleased to announce the availability of Pulse: the world’s most powerful and user-friendly camera remote. With a wide range of powerful and advanced features and a beautiful and intuitive user interface, Alpine Lab’s Pulse is set to delight photographers of all levels and interests.

Pulse offers a powerful pocket-sized solution to wireless control of DSLR and Mirrorless cameras. Connecting via the USB port and mounted in the hot shoe, Pulse facilitates remote control from the comfort of your mobile device using Bluetooth connectivity and a free mobile app. Unlike other remotes that utilize a camera’s trigger port, the USB connection allows Pulse to wirelessly control ISO, shutter speed, aperture, start / stop video, preview images on the screen of your device, and boasts an operational range of up to 100ft.

Unveiled in late 2015 on the crowdfunding platform Kickstarter, Pulse was quickly supported by more than 12,600 customers, garnering over $1,000,000 in pre-orders over the course of a single month. Initially hoping for $50,000 of crowdfunding, within days the project went viral to ultimately outpace expectations by over 1900%.

“Pulse has been Alpine Labs’ biggest and most ambitious project yet,” said company CEO, Greg Horvath. “Given Pulse’s initial response on Kickstarter, we are really excited to see what people create when remote camera control is this powerful and intuitive."

Pulse works with a free mobile app available for iOS and Android devices. Pulse is currently compatible with a wide selection of Canon, Nikon, and Panasonic cameras and costs just $99. Limited time pre-order discount $89. To learn more and purchase: www.alpinelaboratories.com

Product Specifications

What makes Pulse the world’s most powerful camera remote? 

Remotely Adjust Camera Settings

Change your camera’s ISO, aperture, and shutter speed — wirelessly from your Apple or Android device.

Remote Trigger Up To 100 ft.

Take epic selfies. Pulse’s 100‘ Bluetooth range allows you to set up your camera and trigger it from anywhere.

Control Up To 3 Cameras

Control up to three Pulse-equipped cameras at once - all from the same smartphone. Be everywhere at once and get all the right angles, even if you are just a crew of one.

Wireless Image Preview

View thumbnails on your phone immediately after you take a photo on your camera.

Start & Stop Video

Most remote triggers let you do one thing - take photos. Utilizing your camera's USB port and not the shutter port, Pulse has the ability to let you control video as well. This feature is available for all Canon cameras and Nikon cameras released after 2012.

Wireless Troubleshooting

Traditional triggers can’t tell you when things have gone wrong. The Pulse app notifies you about low battery or buffering time before they ruin your shoot.

Amazing Time-lapse

Pulse's Exposure Ramping features changes your cameras ISO and shutter speed during your time lapse. A better way to capture day-to-night transitions (the "Holy Grail" of time lapses) without having to touch your camera.

Self-Timer Control / Photobooth

Create amazing selfies utilizing Pulse’s timer controls, meaning no more running into position.

Why Not Sony?

When tethered via USB sony cameras will not allow images to save to the memory card of the camera - rendering Pulse useless for Sony cameras. You can change your ISO and aperture, but you can't actually take and save a photo. We are working with Sony to rectify this.
