Is there such a thing?Some selfie-sticks used to be triggered via the headset 3.5mm jack, or
Is there such a thing?
I have a lot of A4 documents I want to photograph. I have a camera
stand to position and hold the camera over said documents, so that I
can change the document beneath the camera without the fiddle of
re-aligning the camera for each document. But the action of activating
the camera shutter often moves the camera. What I need is a short
flexible shutter release that plugs into the camera and allows me to
take photos in fairly quick succession without having to realign the
camera every time.
They exist for 'proper' cameras, but I can't see anything that simply
works with an i-phone.

Most smartphones etc. have voice activated shutter activation facilities.
Google says for the Iphone
To take a photo with your iPhone's camera using your voice, go to
Settings > Accessibility > Voice Control and enable it. Then, you can
either say "Turn up the volume" or "Turn down the volume" while the
camera is open to trigger the shutter, or you can create a custom voice command for the same effect by going to Commands > Create New Command >
Run Custom Gesture and recording a tap on the shutter button.
Plenty of information on Google or Youtube to set your own command to trigger the shutter release. On my Android I've set mine to take a photo when I say "shoot"

Thanks for that. I've set it up to take a photo when I say 'click'.
Seems to work up to a point, in that it looks as though it takes a
photo, but then I can't find where it saves it, if it does in fact it
does take a photo or save it. It's certainly not in the usual photo
storage area. Any suggestions? Should I have opened anything before I
use the voice activation, like Siri, that sort of thing?

And do you need actual photos ?.
I use Microsoft Lens to take copies of articles in
the Librarys copies of Investors Chronicle and
Which Gardening and create PDF's to copy to my main
PC.
They occupy less space.

Can you not scan them instead?

They do Bluetooth remote triggers.

Now up and running just as I want. Actually better than a voice
command because I don't have to keep saying 'snap' or whatever, and disturbing others who may be working nearby.

Took me a little while to set up Bluetooth and pairing, because I'm
not familiar with the process, but I got there in the end.
Thanks again.

That's what I was going to do, but unfortunately MS withdrew MS Lens
last month, so not available any more, and support is being withdrawn
in November I think.
