Time lapses like youve never made them before.

 

Time lapses like youve never made them before.

This piece of equipment is absolutely amazing. Its easy to use, took me about 2 minutes to get very familiar with how to use all the functions, and it is very durable. I recently made a 21 day trip to africa where I was doing 3-6 hour timelapses almost...

Good alternative

 

Good alternative

Pros: -You can accurately control times from 99:99:99 to 1 second. -It won't fail, at least for me, with a bit of condensation/rain. -Comes with two AAA batteries that will last longer than your camera's batteries for a long night of shooting....

Works Well

 

Works Well

I received the unit and have used it several times, primarily just as a remote. It works well. The unit connection fits tight into the camera and is secure. Compared to other units, one of its best characteristics is an "On-Off" switch. You can turn...
