Over the years, people are playing more and more, enjoying more and more pictures, taking photos from the earliest year before going to the photo studio, and now they can go to the photo studio to shoot a variety of photos at any time. Shooting equipment is also more and more advanced. For my own sake, I was 80 years old, from the point-and-shoot camera I was first contacted in childhood, to the late upgrade to Sony's card machine DSC-TX66, and then upgraded from the card machine to the first two years. Micro single Sony nex5r, finally married this year, I bought my friend's second-hand almost new Sony DSC-RX100 M3 black card 3, her husband upgraded the nex5r to the full format micro single Sony ILCE-7M2K. The camera price is also from the earliest 1000 yuan camera to the current more than 10,000 pieces of ...
In life, in addition to traveling with a camera, if you want to take pictures all the time, you will naturally miss the mobile phone. With the constant upgrade of your camera in the past few years, my mobile phone has been upgraded. From the earlier Nokia old phones, the mobile phone did not have the camera function at the time, to the current IP6, the front camera 1.2 million, rear camera 8 million.
Over the years, not only has the camera equipment been upgraded, but the way everyone takes photos has also changed dramatically. More than a decade ago, everyone still needed to find a passerby to help take pictures. Until a few years ago, mobile phones had gradually increased their front-facing cameras, and the phrase “self-timer†appeared in everyone’s lives. Until 2014, a magical tool appeared. This is the selfie stick.
And when it comes to my self-timer device, there are two main: one is a selfie stick + iphone 6, one is a black card 3, and the black card 3's LCD screen can be rotated 180° upwards to self-shoot. This is the main reason I bought this camera, haha~
The following is a black card 3 usage report I wrote on this site:
But although you already have two self-timer devices, let's take a look at the camera effect: Because the selfie stick also has a length limitation, if you want to take a picture a little longer, the selfie stick will enter the mirror; while using the camera to take a picture, you can only see two Big head, the distant scenery is blocked by the big head!
Recently I discovered a new type of self-timer - Patador self-timer.
The appearance of the product is somewhat simple, with only one plastic protective film on the outside.
The following four aspects of the packaging box introduced the product parameters, a brief introduction of the functions, and downloading of the APP.
Open the package, the top of the self-timer robot body, the bottom is a circular storage box. Open the storage box, there are five kinds of accessories, from left to right, respectively, USB interface, two rubber clips, remote control and data.
The Dora robot has a compact appearance with a diameter of 85mm, a height of 72mm and a weight of 285g.
The front of the product is the LOGO of Dora. The dot below the LOGO is the indicator light. If the indicator light is blue, the power is turned on successfully. If the blue light is flashing, it indicates that the Bluetooth connection is not successful. If the red light is on, it is Reminder version needs to be updated.
The back of the product is a USB interface, which can be connected to the data cable for charging.
The side of the product is a sign of the product's several major features: photo, photography, support for 360 ° camera, support for facial recognition, need Bluetooth links.
In addition to the top of the Dora robot, there is a USB socket (which can be used to charge the phone, as described in detail later), and a replaceable rubber holder. The brand side took into account the different thickness of the current mobile phone, specially designed two different thickness of the rubber clip holder, can support the thickness of the phone in the 6.5mm-9.5mm, the largest screen can support 5.5 inches, the heaviest to bear the weight of the phone is 200g, which has Basically meet the needs of the vast majority of mobile phones. However, there is a disadvantage in that the holder is made of rubber material, so it is easy to get dust.
Let's look at the bottom, in addition to some information on the product, the QR code on the right, the scan can enter the download interface of the Dora APP, use this self-timer robot, you must install the APP on the phone to take photos through the Bluetooth link. The use process and effects will be described in detail later.
The middle circle in the bottom is the tripod screw hole, which can connect different height tripods to shoot more beautiful pictures at different angles.
The four square markers above the tripod screw hole are power indicators.
The oval button above the power indicator light is the key to the power supply. This design personally finds it inconvenient. The switch should be set at the top to facilitate operation.
This robot is also equipped with a remote controller, which can use the remote controller to remotely control the camera up, down, left, and right to adjust the camera angle, and can also adjust the focus distance. At the same time, you can set the replacement of the video and camera.
The circular sign in the upper left corner of the remote controller is an opening key, and the infrared key is on the right side. In particular, this section has an infrared function, which can automatically recognize the human face and can take a picture.
The circular sign in the middle of the remote control can be used to adjust up, down, left and right angles. This self-timer robot supports 360° free rotation, while supporting up 15° and down 10°. Relative to the self-shooting rod and the camera's angular limitations, this paragraph gives people who like to take pictures more photo angle options ~
Further down is the camera/video function, long press to switch to video.
The plus-minus sign below is the zoom-in and zoom-out function, which can adjust the focus distance.
This remote control also needs to be recharged. There is a USB socket at the bottom, and there is a hanging hole beside the socket. Friends who are afraid to lose can pick up the key chain. The four dots on the side are power indicators.
This robot's battery capacity is only 1090mAh, so the use of the process, the number of charging is also inevitably a bit more, as previously introduced, this section supports USB charging.
The charging mode is divided into two types. One kind of data line can be charged by plugging in the computer. The other is that the data line is plugged in the adapter and can be charged directly. Here to remind everyone that this section only equipped with a data cable and no adapter, which makes me very puzzled, can not help but let me wonder if the staff forgot to put the adapter! ? But now every home has a few phones or tablets, and the adapter is not hard to find.
Charging time, some long, it takes nearly two hours to fully charge.
Always wondering what is the use of this USB converter, open the instructions can understand the manufacturer's intentions. This Patella self-timer robot not only supports USB charging, but also can charge the mobile phone and the machine itself. If it is an Apple mobile phone, a USB conversion head is required for conversion. If the mobile phone and the robot are not powered at the same time, they can be charged twice, but they must be plugged in before charging the phone.
As an ordinary consumer, in fact, it is more desirable that the base of this model can be used as a mobile power source, and it also supports charging the mobile phone when it is not charging the machine.
The above parameters for this self-timer robot are introduced.
Overall appearance, compact and lightweight, strong portability. However, there is a desire for improvement in the charging function, and it is hoped that an adapter will be added to the accessories.

Fifth, experience shooting a variety of camera features Dora1, tripod connection
As mentioned earlier, there is a tripod screw hole on the bottom of this section, which can be connected to any standard tripod with a 1/4 inch screw hole on the bottom. After connecting the tripod, the shooting angle is even more abundant. My family has an octopus and I tried connecting it. However, when connecting, it is recommended not to connect too tightly. If it is too tight, it will affect the rotating function of the Dora robot.
2, camera interface

More distinctive is his facial recognition selection and 180 ° or 360 ° camera.
3, face recognition function experience
Face recognition function, mainly with infrared self-tracking self-timer, without remote control, beat Dora can accurately identify the face, in the crowd to accurately identify the face of the person taking pictures, in order to make real-time follow-up. However, after all, it is not a manual photographing. Face recognition is not 100% accurate. During the testing process, about six or seven times can be automatically shot ten times.
In the face recognition function, single face recognition, double face recognition, and multi-face recognition can be performed. The bottom mark is to turn off face recognition and manually control the remote controller to take pictures. One of the things I particularly mention here is that in the double face recognition, we will also remind “Please come close to itâ€. If you take a photo at a close distance, the photo page will show a heart ~ (There is a picture of a little evil here: two good bases When a friend took a photo, if the photo page had a heart, the camera would not laugh?! Haha!) Taking into account the two photos, there may be a variety of situations, it is recommended to cancel the pink heart ~
4, rotating multi-angle experience
This Patella self-timer robot differs from the self-timer in that it supports 360° free rotation and supports up to 15° tilt at 15°. No matter which angles we want to take pictures, we support them. Together with the face recognition function or remote control settings, we can take photos in a variety of different angles.
For details, please check my recorded video: - Take Dora Self-timer - Multi-angle rotation
5, support 180 ° & 360 ° camera
In addition to the rotating multi-angle camera described above, the Dora robot also supports 180° and 360° panoramic shots, while general cameras, mobile phones, etc. only support 180° panoramic photography.
Friends who like to travel are recommended to bring a tripod, shoot Dora, and then use the panorama to take more beautiful scenery.
The following video is to take a photo of Dora when taking a 180° panorama
6, video function
Click the recording button on the APP or press and hold the camera button on the remote control to enter the recording interface.

At the same time, long press to make a picture of the magazine, you can also choose the effect of different filters.

5, portrait beauty
In portrait beauty, one-touch beauty can be adjusted to adjust brightness, contrast, saturation, color, and whitening and skin rejuvenation can be performed, of course, you can also enter different filter effects again.
Portrait beauty is very powerful, but it still lacks many face-lifting features that crushes like.
6, synthetic photos
Synthetic picture function is suitable for the messy picture background, but also wants to highlight the picture of the character. It is recommended to use portrait images first, then use composite images, and finally select the Italian magazine template to complete the picture.
However, in the synthetic photographs, the background of the synthesized image is only a yellow sun flower. It is suggested that a variety of background templates be added later.
