The Radian 2 is an updated version of the original Radian that allows the photographer to program the device from an android or IOS tablet or phone, and will then control a camera as well as tilt or rotate or even drive a slider! The Radian 2 is the most recent Kickstarter project from Alpine and is expected to be released this fall, possibly in September.
