Hey Indiegogo!

We are LUMIONIX, thrilled to announce our first campaign KOMET, we believe the most advanced camera trigger yet designed by a team of creative engineers who are passionate about photography.

Never miss the perfect shot. Whether you’re shooting High-Speed, Timelapse, HDR, or Long-Exposure, KOMET allows you to achieve your creative vision.

No matter, photography is your full-time job or you just bought your very first camera, KOMET takes your storytelling above and beyond.

We hope you’ll love it as much as we do. Enjoy discovering!

 

KOMET is an extraordinary photography tool, jam-packed with awesome features to enhance your creativity. It mounts straight into your camera’s hot-shoe and utilizes USB port to unleash various possibilities. Easily access all intuitive features from its on-board touchscreen app or the mobile app.

 

In the past, the Crowdfunding community has seen various camera triggers and related products. We acknowledge and respect these products. As a result, we conducted in-depth research to discover ways to advance camera triggers to the next level, and the idea for KOMET was born.

We analyzed the features provided by typical camera triggers and added numerous extras to help photographers elevate their storytelling.

We understand the inconvenience and expense of purchasing different devices from different vendors. To solve this problem, KOMET is designed to provide photography hobbyists and professionals with the maximum features they desire.

 

 

Capturing the perfect moment can be tricky, but KOMET makes it easy with advanced sensor technology that triggers the shutter at the right time. The sensitive sensor allows you to adjust the threshold limit and capture the exact moment you are looking for.

 

Light is always critical for photography, especially when shooting indoors calls for external light. Unlike other High-Speed triggers, we’ve harnessed the potential of the hot shoe and created a Wireless Flash Receiver add-on.

 

Timelapse is our favorite genre of photography hence We devoted meticulous attention to developing this feature. With KOMET, you can master everything from the basics to complex holy-grail timelapse.

We created a deep neural network with a vast dataset of thousands of professional images, and we invite you to contribute your photos to our community and scale them without any limit.

Join us to contribute your photo!

We will release this feature as a beta version upon delivering the rewards, as we are still in the process of collecting images to create our AI Machine Learning dataset. We are actively seeking photographers to join us as contributors. If you believe this feature can assist beginners and are interested, please feel free to sign up as a contributor in this Google Forms.

 

Taking great photos often requires being in the right place at the right time, but creating images with extra drama requires tools and techniques. Long-exposure photography with ND filters may seem daunting with charts and stop calculators, but with KOMET App, you can forget all of that. Our app offers a built-in ND calculator. Simply tap to choose your desired ND stop and update your camera exposure automatically.

The KOMET app is professionally designed and user-friendly, gives you access to all the essential camera settings. It is available for both iOS and Android platforms.

Safely backing up your content is always vital in the overall workflow. KOMET provides a convenient way to backup your content, even if your laptop runs out of juice. Simply insert your camera’s memory card and connect your portable hard drive to transfer files instantly. 

Additionally, our app offers file management services that allow you to organize your content from anywhere.

At Lumionix, transparency and honesty are at the core of our product philosophy. Through this Single-Take, Non Post-Processed video, our goal is to present KOMET as it genuinely is – a robust camera trigger system that can elevate your photography to new heights.

In our entire development process, compatibility has been the most significant challenge. KOMET employs USB communication instead of a simple Shutter Release port, which can lead to USB protocol compatibility issues with various camera brands and models. Our dedicated team has worked diligently to ensure KOMET supports a wide range of DSLR and Mirrorless cameras, including Canon, Nikon, and popular Sony Alpha models. Please refer to the compatibility list below for details, and rest assured, we are continuously striving to include more models.

You may notice that a few models in the list are marked as ‘grayed out – In the Pipeline,’ indicating they are currently in the testing phase. We are actively working on bringing them onboard soon. If your camera falls within this category, you can still back our campaign, and we encourage you to report your model here in this Google Forms. Our team will keep you informed about its testing progress and notify you once it gets passed.

Fujifilm: Though we are considering a limited selection, due to popular demand, it is among our top priorities for future compatibility.

Olympus, Panasonic, and Pentax: We extend our sincere apologies for the limited support. Rest assured, we are actively working to expand the list to include more models.

If your camera model falls under our target brands, which include Canon, Nikon, Sony, Fuji, Olympus, and Panasonic, but is not listed, please vote for your camera model in this Google Forms or send us an email at hello@lumionix.com. We will investigate the possibilities and promptly respond to your inquiry.

There are numerous reputable brands in the market offering similar camera trigger products, all with the shared aim of assisting creators in realizing their creative visions. Lumionix is excited to join this journey by introducing KOMET.

We’d like to acknowledge a few Kickstarter-born brands that have made remarkable contributions to the industry. MIOPS, an industry leader in high-speed photography, continues to impress. Arsenal astonishingly incorporates AI into photography, serving as a significant source of inspiration for us. Unleashed by the Foolography team has amazed us with their incredibly compact device form factor.

We hold deep respect for all these brands and aim to provide you with a parallel features comparison, not to claim superiority over any of them, but to assist you in selecting the right tool for your creative needs.

Please note that we have not personally used these devices and have gathered information from their respective websites. If we have overlooked any significant features of another brand, we sincerely apologize and encourage you to inform us so that we can update our information accordingly.

We have taken a meticulous approach to designing KOMET, with a focus on considering every technical detail with the user experience in mind. We believe that this emphasis on technical excellence will enhance your photography journey.

The journey of creating the KOMET Camera trigger has been a true labor of love, spanning almost three years, even amidst the challenges posed by the COVID-19 period. We want to give you a sneak peek into the different steps we took to make it happen: first, we drew out our ideas, then we designed all the electronics that make it work, and we used computer-aided design to make sure it looked and functioned just right. Finally, we built and tested prototypes, ensuring it’s ready for your use. The KOMET Camera trigger isn’t just a product to us; it’s the result of years of hard work and dedication to making something great. We love it and hope you will too.

Hi, I’m Nazmus an Electronics Engineer, amateur timelapse photographer, and the creator of LUMIONIX KOMET. The idea for KOMET came to me when I developed an exposure ramper device for my personal timelapse photography. As I continued to explore, I realized that KOMET had the potential to integrate features beyond the timelapse arena, such as high-speed photography, wireless flash triggers, and more. I saw the opportunity to develop a camera trigger that could meet the needs of photographers looking to push their creative limits.

Developing KOMET is a significant collaborative effort by a talented team. As an Electronics Engineer, I dedicated my full-time attention for over two years closely with skilled Mechanical Engineers and Software Developers. After an extensive development process, KOMET is now ready for production, and we are thrilled to unveil our creation to the Indiegogo community.

Thank you for your support. Excited for you to experience KOMET. Feel free to connect with me on social for updates and more. LinkedIn, Twitter.
