Finally i got pulse after 1 year delay. I went through instructions to connect my nikon d810. No camera connected, i upgraded to latest firmware. Still not working. Plus usb cable port doesnt look like the same nikon d810 has. Only half part port fits. This company is scam
One problem and one feature request

1. Problem is that with the most recent firmware I can't seem to get the device connected for the thumbnails. Otherwise the device works as expected. Working with a 5d mk II latest firmware 2. When the thumbnails were working, I noticed I can't get the whole picture on my phone. This is REALLY important to check the sharpness of the pic! Please please please add that.
Not happy

This product was put out too soon as Alpine really hasn't made sure it would work with all cameras. I have a Nikon D800E and through all of their solutions inclduing the firmaware and app updates and connecting and reconnecting the camera, it has never been able to find the camera. They respond very slowly to emails and ask you to send bug reports but still no respinses to this. So my Pulse going back and good riddance
Too many issues with canon t2i

I have used the pulse for a week now. Except for the issues that are already mentioned on their website, regarding the disconnection between the app and the pulse or between the pulse and the camera, which happens a lot, I have had more serious problems. Sometimes it puts my camera into a busy mode that won't go away till I disconnect the pulse. Other times my camera shows an error message in the viewfinder and nothing on the monitor, and won't function at all till I disconnect the device. This is too much for me and I am using my old intervalometer again. I think the device is released before enough tests on different cameras.
It works...

***update, the team fixed the connectivity bug which is a beautiful thing. Next test, sub-zero temps. Old Review... ...sometimes. Going in and out of the app while in Bulb mode causes the shutter speed to become inoperable, meaning the timer goes beyond the set speed. Connectivity seems to be on a downward spiral, rarely if ever connects. The product when working is great but why put something on in the market that you have not tested? How can you not test going in and out of an app? This is iOS dev 101. I'll give them one more chance at fixing the bugs and if it's not working I'm returning the product. It's a massive fail to not nail connectivity before you ship.
Great product and app!

Pulse has made using my camera much easier - could not recommend enough. Much better than adjusting settings with the camera buttons. Great design scheme, app easy to use. Unsure why there are so many complaints - I found customer support to be prompt and helpful. Really impressed with what you guys have done!
Good start...

Ordered from Amazon and didn't read description close enough, the version that Amazon carries doesn't have cable for Canon EOS 5Ds. After a week delay and having to buy special cable all is now working. Amazon page should have option to pick camera (cord) flavor. Basic functionality is there but a little awkward to use. Too many clicks to get to things in app. Worst is going back and forth between screen with shutter and thumbnail and screen to set camera settings. These should be on same screen. Lots of screen real estate so no reason to have separate screens. Also one key bit of info is missing : what were the iso, f, and t of the pic just taken? If camera was on any auto modes such as A, Tv or AV or P modes this is important if I want to switch to M. Should have a little box next to thumbnail showing this. Now I have to go and get this from camera, which is awkward since pulse is most useful in locations where accessing camera is not easy. I have longer wish list of app improvements but this is #1, rest are mostly app navigation issues. Hopefully lots of pulses will get sold and app will improve in future releases.
It's okay

For 105$ it's pretty cool, only thing I do wish the Pulse was able to do is give live view, that's a big thing for me since I'm mainly shooting videos for myself and have a 7D II so I don't have a flip screen on my DSLR.
Firmware update broken

Not only did it lockup my Canon but the app can't even update the devices firmware.
