[Corner Reporter]

Trigger Trap is an open-source project for photographers and geeks initiated by Haje Jan Kamps. He is currently seeking your help in collecting funds that will be spent on developing, prototyping, and manufacturing the product in two versions: a PRO and a DIY model. Trigger Trap is a universal camera trigger that makes it easy to trigger your camera any way you could possibly think of. The Trigger Trap will support triggering Laser, Sound, Time and even an Aux port is available for those not satisfied by these standard options...

Maybe its just me and my cynicism......but I'll call it survival instincts! If it looks, walks, and quacks like a duck there's a better than even chance it IS a duck! Here's a roughly sketched out sales pitch, apparently based in San Francisco which I consider to be the hub of venture capitalism, that wants our $75.....no wait, he wants another $5 for WHEN (if?) he ships it, after developing it....assuming he does. This alleged device (or is it just an idea until there's tangible evidence of it?) will do something for everyone......and therefore entice the widest population of "investors". I don't disagree with the convenience and even the feasability, even the possibility that this thing is or will be real.......but hark, is that a quack I hear?

While I don't know Haje Jan Kamps in person, I do know him online, and know him to be an honest fellow. Kickstarter is kind of a new thing... and I know investments via kickstarter haven't always worked out... But I can say this with a high certainty: Don't not participate because you think he'll just take your $ and run. I would "vouch" for Haje Jan Kamps as a good guy.
