The HYPEYE Alpha is the new indicator and control system for Sony Cameras, Camcorders, and Action Cameras. Essential for professional Skydiving Photographers, the HYPEYE Alpha ensures you always get the shot!

Features

• In-Your-Face Indication  Keep your eyes on the action -- and finally stop worrying about your camera. HYPEYE Alpha uses a super-bright, three-color LED indicator, which shines blue for “standby/ready,” red for “record” and yellow for “warning/error/focus.”
• Simple One Button Operation  Power On/Off, Record/Standby from one button.
• Built-In 2.5mm Jack  Adds still camera focus and shutter release control.
• Still Image Capture Indication  Add feedback to firing still photos.
• Standard Form Factor Same body as the HYPEYE D PRO.
• Hardwired  No WiFi or Bluetooth gimmicks here! You're a professional. You have no time for faulty connection sequences or charging another widget. 
• Sips Power No noticeable difference in battery longevity. In fact, because of the "reminder," customers will see much better battery life.

Timeline

The HYPEYE Alpha is a new electronic design that leverages from earlier products. Due to the super niche nature of this product, and the cost of tooling, we can not afford full volume production. We listened to our core customers and realized they needed an indicator. Therefore we found a way to produce a low volume solution. 

• Use the plastics from remaining HYPEYE D PRO inventory
• Manufacturer the Multi/Micro USB cable in house
• Produce small volume of motherboards
• Use remaining indicators from the Turned On product

When we sell out of this batch, we may be out forever! 

Compatibility

We are happy to announce the HYPEYE Alpha in limited quantities for select cameras. Please check our compatibility list for supported cameras. 

If your Sony Camera has a port labeled "MULTI", the HYPEYE Alpha will most likely work. "MICRO" labeled ports will not work. 

Please contact us for any cameras we are missing or additions. 

The HYPEYE Alpha comes in two orientations "Standard" and "Flipped" Be sure to order the correct geometry.

If you would just like an indicator, please see the HYPEYE Alpha Mini

Camcorders

Action Cameras

Still Cameras

Standby may not work with Hypeye Alpha's switch. You may need to manually turn the camera off. 

The Fine Print

• The HYPEYE Alpha unfortunately does not indicate some previously critical errors such as no SD Card and early battery low detection. This is out of our control since there is no status from the camera about these faults. It does indicate low battery at 1%. 
• It does indicates shutter release and focus. It does not indicate that the shot has actually been taken. 
• Camcorders are fairly slow to capture still images. Typically 1 fps at 3 frame burst, then 5 seconds to write before next capture will take. 
• On action cameras In timelpase mode the camera does not respond with a "I'm recording" so the Record light will not illuminate in this mode. 
• When low battery gets sent to the Hypeye Alpha, the camera never sends a status indication again. Once you see a blinking yellow light, the status is unknown from then on.
