intervalometer

An intervalometer is an important tool for photographers that is useful across a range of photography genres and techniques, including timelapses, focus stacking, and long exposures.

In addition to the typical time intervalometer, Snaperture is a new camera trigger that combines all the popular ways of firing a camera shutter into one product using sensors that can react to light, sound, movement, and even distance.

A must-have tool when shooting a number of photography genres, including the night sky, is a remote release trigger for your camera. Triggers range from very simple cable releases over phone apps that connect to your camera’s Wi-Fi to very specialized intervalometers. I wanted to build something even better...

If you own the Sony a9, it's time to head over to the Sony website and download some new firmware. The long-awaited Firmware Version 6.0 has finally been released, adding Eye AF, an Interval Timer, and more to the high-speed Sony sports shooter.

Want to set up a remote DSLR for shooting a time-lapse? The Intervalometerator (AKA 'intvlm8r') is an open-source intervalometer that can help you do so at minimal hardware cost (as long as you're comfortable tinkering with hardware and software).

If you judge your photography gadgets on versatility, then the Pinout should score high marks. A remote shutter release, intervalometer, and geotagging device with a nifty loss/theft prevention feature built in, Pinout promises to do a lot given its minuscule size.

Timelapse+, the makers of the new VIEW, call it "the intervalometer. redefined." We don't know about all that, but it does boast a few really neat features that will make it a very tempting purchase for all the timelapse photographers out there.

How cheap and minimalist can you make a DSLR intervalometer? A camera hacker who goes by Glitchmaker recently wanted to find out, and the SHTTTRRR is the result of his experiment. It's a small low-power device that uses only an on/off switch and a button for setting the interval.

If you've taken almost any math classes over the last decade, chances are good you have a graphing calculator sitting around in some drawer somewhere. And while we can't promise you'll ever use what you learned in Calculus (an engineer friend of mine used to call it 'calcuseless') the folks over at JACP Media can help put that old calculator to use by turning it into a homebrew intervalometer.

Time-lapse photography has become more and more popular in recent months, and even though you can find cheap intervalometer solutions to take care of the basic triggering of your camera, there really isn't anything outside of the DIY category that will allow you to add smooth motion to your time-lapse on the cheap. Fortunately, innovations happen every day, and a new intervalometer and motion control unit over on Kickstarter is just the innovation to solve this problem.

Even though Kickstarter projects are anything but few and far between, you still don't have to look far to find something great. Case in point: the Timelapse+ -- a Kickstarter project that reached full funding on February 19th -- is a feature-rich intervalometer that would make a valuable addition to any photographer's camera bag.

Trigger Happy is a new product that lets you use your iOS or Android smartphone as a fancy camera remote. It consists of an app and a one-meter-long cable that goes from your phone's audio jack to your camera. Besides acting as a simple remote shutter release for shake-free shots, the app offers bulb functionality for timing long exposures, an intervalometer for timelapse photography, HDR mode, and bramping. They're also working on lightning detection, audio waveform detection, face detection, and accelerometer-based triggering.
