The Pluto Valve, together with the Pluto Trigger, enables you to take photos of water drops colliding in mid-air (for splash photography)!
See the Valve Guide to help you get started with using the Pluto Valve.
The battery is not included in your package due to delivery issues. It is a standard 12V 23A battery. You can find one in most local stores, or on eBay or Amazon.
Finishing of the product could be a little better, but definetly does what it needs to do.
Consigliato per chi ha voglia di esperimentare....

Dommage que l'électronique ne soit pas protégé par une coque plastique, il aurait obtenu 5 étoiles
C'est le complément indispensable au pluto trigger, facile à mettre en oeuvre, précis et facile d'entretien!
J'adore me servir de cette valve et du pluto ! Les résultats sont top !
Avec de la patience, des résultats étonnants et beaux !
I like it..............
I’ve marveled other photographers water droplet photography and wanted to have a go myself. With a little bit of patience and trial and error I’ve been able to take some quite reasonable pictures on my first attempt. Much better than I expected and it’s something that I will only get better at with practice.
The valve is pretty decent, works well although you need to clean it often if you're putting any additives into the water or you are using thicker liquids as the valve has a tendency to jam open after a while. I'm a little baffled that the valve electronics has no casing, I found this very odd considering you need to fill the valve tube above the electronics and any drips or misses could quite easily land on the battery or the circuit board. The packaging was "adequate", but would have expected it to arrive in dedicated box rather than some basic thick cardboard. I was also surprised that there was no information supplied with the valve.... no diagrams, instructions.... nothing, just the valve. That sounds like a lot of negatives, but it's really just a few fussy niggles that I think could improve a decent unit. All niggles aside the valve is a great bit of kit and I've been getting some fantastic results with it, so overall I'm very pleased. If not for the points above I would have awarded 5 stars.
