Being a Kickstarter backer on this project, here is my review of the Pulse product: 6 months delay on the project. On the beginning I backed it up to get the product for my birthday (in May). On the end I got it on end October. Not happy about that. Yesterday I tested the Pulse for the first time: - I thought it was hooked at the flash place for a reason (connectivity), but in fact not at all. The connectivity with the camera is through USB. So either you can't use your flash with Pulse, or you need to let the Pulse hang on the side of the camera. As placing the Pulse on the flash spot has no connectivity reason, I think it would have been better to design the Pulse to be directly plugged into the side of the camera. Not happy about this design. - While the HDR (and maybe timelapse... still need to test this feature in the future. But who does timelapse on a regular basis anyway ?) seems OK on first glance, I still need to dig further into this feature. - I will use the Long Exposure on a regular basis, but no real "plus" compaired to my IR remote shutter control (especially for that price !!). - And... no autofocus management ???? So, if I understand well, I need to manually set the focus on the camera, and then adjust ISO, shutter and exposure with the Pulse app ? What is this nonsense ??? This just makes the Pulse completely useless if you nevertheless need to manually set settings on the camera. All in all, I am quite disappointed by the product itself and by the way Alpine Labs handled the Kickstarter campaign (communication, delays...). I feel all backers got fooled by a project that, on the end, doesn't deliver what was promised.

Bishlouk- did we back the same campaign? There were certainly delays which suck, but Alpine Labs did an one of the better jobs I've seen of communicating with backers. The updates were great and I was just annoyed it wasn't coming faster. Seemed worth it thought because Pulse is beautiful. Also your other comments are a little strange. If you didn't buy it for HDR and time lapse (and other triggering features) then why did you buy it at all? Also they showed that it fits in the hot shoe in the Kickstarter video so why are you complaining about that? I wish they had delivered way sooner but all in all this is one of the best products i've ever gotten through Kickstarter. The packaging was pretty sweet too.
