Can I advance the shot list without taking my hands off the cameras?

Yes. Tap Pad 5 to advance FAMILY FORMALS 4/12 and the sleeve flashes the next frame count on your forearm, so both hands stay on the dual bodies.

How accurate is the golden-hour countdown?

Hold Pad 4 to start a 10-minute amber timer set to your local sunset, so SUNSET 18M shows exactly how long you have before the light goes.

Will the LED glow show up in the final images?

The 256 LEDs sit under a dark diffusing weave and face your inner forearm, so at a normal working angle the glow does not reach the sensor.

Why Phone, Watch, and Tablet Screens Fail at Walking a Wedding Shot List Hands-Free

Never lose the light: A printed list or phone in your pocket costs the golden-hour moment — the cuff stays on your arm.
Reads without a glow: The LEDs face your inner forearm under a dark weave, so they stay out of your shot at a working angle.
Peer-reviewed textile roots, shipping hardware: The Oct 2026 NUS Nature paper coined “garment GUI” with a lab-only woven pixel fibre (not for sale); our shipping $199 sleeve uses 5 sewn conductive-fabric pads and a removable 8×32 LED pod.
