XSORIES WEYE FEYE

The ingenious Weye Feye isn’t much larger than a Zippo and, once connected via USB, it enables a a DSLR to be controlled remotely via a tablet or phone running the free Xsories app. You get a live video feed from the camera, and the ability to adjust various settings. It even has its own on-board battery, so it won’t unduly drain your camera’s juice. It’s all incredibly slick, with time-lapse and touch-to-focus functions that wouldn’t be available on many old cameras otherwise. Some lag is apparent between the camera and the on-screen image, but it was never enough to bother us or ruin a shot. It’s perfect for wildlife photography, and while $200 may look expensive, it’s a lot cheaper than the professional gear with which it’s competing.
