this actually seems great. for certain applications, ie. winter sports….. ie. hockey. being trapped in a rink for one game, or countless hours shooting a tournement, this will make it so you can feel your shutter button with almost any glove. my problem over the years has been finding a glove thats thin enough to feel the shutter and stay kind of warm and eventually loose dexterity over the hours, or a thick glove and cross my fingers on every shot. hopefully problem solved

Lord knows as a shooter, i’ve missed thousands of shots because i couldn’t find/remember where the shutter button was. And ruined countless other photos from the vibration caused by pressing down on it a little too hard, resulting in completely blurry pictures.

Sound like a good business idea along with the high price tag for a piece of rubber no bigger than a Smartee? Yeah, same here. (Good luck though, i hope it’s a success- though i’ll stick with remembering that the big round button underneath my index finger is the shutter button. :)

Man the guy in the video is totally creepy… let alone a gadget that does nothing. How many people have missed a shot because the have lack of sensory in their fingers.

What is slightly confusing and I think they should consider changing.. is that they have it set so that anyone without an AVATAR.. gets an Fstoppers logo as an avatar….
Now THAT will mislead people into thinking the poster is an OFFICIAL of Fstoppers.. they should seriously reconsider that! Id change it to anything besides what they have now… it will clear up lots of confusion!

Ahhh no worries @rOOmak:disqus ! I actually figured that might be the case.
Never know who yorue talking to on zeee web! Haha!
This old style of Disqus has dislike too.. look at the very top of the comment stream.. you can dislike the page.
Everythign is subject to haters. I dont think they (Fstoppers) are in any danger from some negative comments here and there.. they do too much awesome to have to worry.

I apologize for misleading post. I don’t work with fstoppers. I let my self guess and I didn’t clarify that.
Coming back to what you said I agree. We have to be open for critique, but the button “dislike” is just rude. If one disagree with my post I want to hear why…
…and If that is some Annonymous123 with no link to his web or FB I will not even read it;)

Hi guys,

There are some reviews of the ProDot and it’s promising:

At this point anything to help me get through a 10hr day of paid shooting is worth it.

Ciao,

Because it doesn’t have the “pro”-prefix. Duh.
