Spark Customer Insights

1. And even here it is somewhat unstable.For Sony A7RIII ... connects to phone when it wants too (always reset back to Nikon) time lapse app feature NEVER works... timer and count shows but no camera triggering... infrared works but has to be almost in direct and close line of sight to camera IR sensor in order to trigger.It works! I am using it on the Sony A7R3.

2. I've put way too much time into trying to get this product to workI'm a sucker for gadgets seen this device advertised on Facebook, purchased it and it came as promised I immediately downloaded the software and the realty set in.

3. It has been a constent fight with the poorly designrd software to get the thing to connect let alone function as advertised.BUYER BEWARE!!! Up date ... See the response from Alpine Labs....Nothing but l lies I have never heard from them in any way shape or form.

4. It is supposed to support my camera but other than single-shot and hdr i can't get anything to work, least of all timelapse which was my #1 reason for getting it.Tried too many times to get the time lapse to work.

5. Very disappointed.Works on HDR, that's about it! When i first read about the spark i was excited since it was a small dongle with features that my camera does not inherently have on it's own.

6. The only cinsistent result is nothing works.truly awful product, never got any of the features working in a usable way, the device itself died, battery maybe? but not even a month in.

7. No issue with the phone as I connect through Bluetooth with my bose headphones, and other Bluetooth products.

8. Since sony stopped supporting playmemories on the newest models at this time (a7riii, a9 and my camera) this was a good thing as a step between.

9. Used 2 Canon cameras and just wont connect.Doesn't work.

10. My phone's Bluetooth sees it through the phone's settings.

11. Looks to me like they're trying to hide the truth.Much better with the last firmware update.
