There a few neat ways to remote operate your DSLR — and in some cases, live-monitor as well. Options range from custom Canon control software for your Android tablet all the way to professional, dedicated solutions. Most such offerings are Canon-only, but statistically there’s a good chance you’re a Canon DSLR shooter anyway — and there’s no reason similar gear won’t come to Nikon or Panasonic cameras, too. Pro accessory fabricators LockCircle have just announced a new, advanced option for remote control of your Canon DSLR called the K-CIRCLE – allowing wireless or USB-tether remote operation of everything from ISO and aperture to focus and digital zoom.

LockCircle Announces PrimeCircle, a Cinemod for Zeiss ZF and X-Circle, a Semi-Permanent F to EF Mount Adapter

LockCircle, maker of the LockPort and the LockCircle Body Cap, is getting into the cinemodding game with some interesting products. The first is X-Circle, a semi-permanent lens mount that not only provides a solid F to EF mount adapter to the rear of the lens, but turns the lens 90 degrees to make the lens information more accessible. They also introduced PrimeCircle XT, a complete Zeiss ZF cinemod including de-clicked aperture, and PrimeCircle Ring Kits, a DIY lens mod that allows you to add a professional follow focus ring and standard 95mm front mount yourself.
