You'd probably be interested in Trammell's other projects (trmm.net has a list), including Magic Lantern, which arguably makes Canon cameras significantly more useful, and his older UAV work.
- Veratyr 12y agoDefinitely more than 'arguably' more useful. The intervalometer alone fills in for a $129 piece of hardware [0] and the HDR recording, although far from the standard of a Blackmagic camera, allows a $500 consumer SLR to produce HDR video where a $2000 camera would normally be required. And those are just the features I could easily equate to money. There's also the zebra striping and so many other features I can't think of right now. Magic Lantern is beautiful.

- dingaling 12y agoInterestingly the developers of Magic Lantern have explicitly stated that they will never develop it for the pro 1D and C ranges of cameras. Apparently this is a result of some informal or undisclosed agreement with Canon, as the pro cameras are where Canon's recurring revenue lies.
- post_break 12y agoIt's probably a threat. Enable ML for the pro series cameras, and we encrypt boot loaders etc. Or even sue. But don't touch them and we'll have a gentlemen's agreement.
