Engadget giveaway: win a Canon EOS Rebel T5 and more, courtesy of NeroTrigger!
Whether you want to get serious about high-speed photography or just spice up your Instagram feed, tools like NeroTrigger can help you on your way. The device can trigger a camera based on outside events like light, sound or movement (if paired with a laser sight). Lightning strikes, fireworks, wild life or popping balloons can be captured automatically in those split seconds when the magic happens. NeroTrigger has even launched a Kickstarter for its smartphone-controlled version called MIOPS, which puts even more programmable power at your fingertips. In the meantime, though, the company has provided a full high-speed kit including the current NeroTrigger, a Canon EOS Rebel T5, an external flash and a laser pointer so that one lucky Engadget reader can step up their photography game. All you need to do is head to the Rafflecopter widget below for up to three chances at winning this high-speed photography combo! Winner: congratulations to Max M. of Palantine, IL.

Control high-speed photography from your phone with this camera trigger
High-speed photography can be daunting if you're not a seasoned pro. You may have a fast camera and flash, but you probably don't have the gear (or people) you'd need to get that frozen-in-time look in most situations. MIOPS' new camera trigger might make it easier to take high-speed shots all by your lonesome, though. By itself, it can tell a DSLR to take a shot and fire your flash when it detects light, motion or sound; you can capture lightning the moment it strikes, or your cat the moment it bolts across the room. The device supports external sensors like pressure pads, too.
