I am only showcasing the HDR capture abilities.  The Promote Control also has Timelapse, etc… (check their site for full list of modes) = Promote Control by Promote Systems

The amazing thing is that the Promote Control allows very affordable cameras like a Canon XS to capture what $5000 and $8000 dollar Canon / Nikon DSLRs can capture in an AEB for HDR creation.  The days of being limited by the camera manufacturer’s AEB limits are over for many Canon / Nikon shooters.  In fact, the Promote Control is perfect even for the high end DSLRs and extends their capabilities as well.

This device has now become a must have for my work. After watching the videos I think you’ll understand why.  There will be more videos to come in the future showing the Promote Control in the field and “best use” practices, but this should at least give you a glimpse at what is possible with this device.

Cameras it supports as of this post date:

Nikon: D3, D3X, D2X, D2Xs, D2H, D2Hs, D200, D300, D700, D40, D40x, D50, D60, D70, D70s, D80, D90, D5000
