Setup

Here is the picture of my high speed photography setup.

Everything is mounted to this aluminium ladder. On the top you can see the dripping device and its battery. Below there is a frame with a key-chain laser and a detector on the opposite side. On the bottom there is a tray filled with water. The water is red because I used some food ink for the droplets. Beside the tray there is a cheap flash from eBay. Its power/speed can be set manually. It works in a slave mode and triggered by another flash which I mined from a disposable camera. This second flash is fixed to the arm of the chair and connected to the controller. It does not effect the lighting too much. It is for triggering the other flash only. In front of the tray there is my camera on a tripod. On the right side of the tray there is the controller I built. I used the box of an old streamer.
