You can check the battery level on the display. The package does contain a USB charging cable so you can charge it up very easily on the go, whether by plugging it into a charger or your laptop if you’re traveling. As for the battery, I found it to last long enough for my light use. I would definitely recommend you to take the fog liquid and the syringe with you if you intend to use it on a longer shoot as it’s possible that you’ll have to refill it. I didn’t realize this at first until two days later when I found my MicroFogger to be still in the sleep mode instead of turned off! When you’re done using it on the day, simple press the main button five times and the screen will indicate that it’s turned off. If you’re using it on a shoot, you don’t have to worry about turning it off and on all the time, you can simply put it down and it’ll go in a sleep mode automatically. I found the optimal amount and power of the smoke to be between 40W and 80W, depending on what you’re using it for. Simple! The two smaller buttons on MicroFogger allow you to adjust the power, going up to 80W as a maximum. After that, all you have to do is press the main button down and hold it to release the smoke for up to ten seconds before it stops. To turn MicroFogger on, you have to quickly press the main switch five times, until the small display lights up indicating that the gadget is turned on. Make sure you do this step before jumping straight into using it on a shoot, though! Also, read the safety guidelines to ensure you're using the product correctly and don't let the heating coil overheat through lack of liquid in the fluid tank as it will damage the product and potentially release toxic fumes. Initial set up consists of priming the heating coil to prevent future damage to the unit, as outlined in the user manual, and isn’t complicated at all.
As someone who photographs primarily people, this was a fun experiment!įirst things first, MicroFogger, which resembles a vape box in terms of its size and look, currently retails as £84.99 on Workshop Science website for packages including a fog liquid, and it comes with the following contents:
I’ve never really been very keen on various photography gadgets but I was quite excited to test out MicroFogger, a compact smoke machine sold by Workshop Science, to see how would I implement it in my style of photography.
