How To Do A DIY Long Term Time-lapse

[@jerryandreas5178]

Great footage! Im glad you were able to set this up. Technology has really improved. The time lapse from a few years ago we had to change out the cards almost every day. Looks like it will be a big machine!

[@TheSlantedLens]

Yeah, we are spoiled today with such great technology!

[@iThinkBiblically]

How reliable is the fist option? Have you ever taken it down to find out it wasn't working?

[@TheSlantedLens]

We checked on the cameras every couple of weeks to make sure all was good and it worked out great.

[@jeffbush5814]

Hi- When you have to change the batteries, because you have to physically move the camera, isn't there a perceptible change in the frame position?

[@pbsalfen]

Those Afidus cameras can solve so many things for me. Thanks Jay P!

[@TheSlantedLens]

Good to hear. Good luck with your time-lapse!

[@PaulForgy]

Thanks for sharing your techniques. You may be interested to know that Walt Disney had time-lapse cameras setup on massive towers throughout the property to record the construction of Disneyland in 1954. The videos are available on KZbin. Incredible foresight way back when.

[@TheSlantedLens]

He was truly a talented genius!

[@erbterb]

An excellent video of the quality we have been spoiled with.

[@TheSlantedLens]

Glad to hear you enjoyed it!

Question - lost me with the wifi set up - what if the construction site doesn't wi-fi. Do you recommend a hot spot for set up prior to leaving site for the 3weeks or so?

[@TheSlantedLens]

The Afidus cameras use a closed wifi so you can set them up on your phone or iPad. But when you set them to work I don't believe you can check on them using wifi.

[@jer3006]

Great suggestions and tips for extended time-lapse. Thanks for sharing.

[@TheSlantedLens]

You bet! Thank you for your comment!

[@Justin-hn9uv]

Cool ideas. I had no idea there were dedicated cameras for long-term time lapse like the Afidus device.

[@TheSlantedLens]

Glad you learned some new stuff. Thanks for watching!

Hello, I am trying to create a time lapse of plants growing over a 10-week period in an indoor setting using supplemental light. Do you have any recommendations? Is the GoPro Hero10 or 11 a good camera choice for this application?

[@TheSlantedLens]

There are probably too many limitations due to battery life. I would use a full frame camera plugged into a power source. But the easiest solution would be to buy an Afidus time lapse camera, but it only does 2k.

[@greghaggart]

this is so dope! thank you!!

[@TheSlantedLens]

Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for your comment!

Cool video!

Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching!

[@Wizkid288]

Omg!!! This is so cool!

[@TheSlantedLens]

Glad you liked it Diego! Hope you are doing well!

[@adamwelch3847]

Thank you for the great info. I've used Brinno cameras for some construction projects in the past, and they were okay. Just ordered a couple of Afidus units for a new project and I'm optimistic about them based on your video. I do notice some heavy artificial sharpening in some of your angles. Is this selectable in the Afidus ap or perhaps something you added in post? Thanks! -AW

[@TheSlantedLens]

You can adjust the sharpening in the app. They are great cameras. I have been very happy with them.

[@kenong7]

nice, fantastic, tyvm

[@TheSlantedLens]

You are very welcome. Thanks for watching!

[@xdigitalmondx2]

cool stuff!

[@TheSlantedLens]

Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching!

[@BrianIrwin]

I am sort of fascinated by that machine, that thing is going to be a monster. Anything to share on that bad boy?

[@TheSlantedLens]

We are still working on the time-lapse of the SKB machine install. It will be recording for a few more months. When it is finished we will see if we can share it on our channel. Thanks for your comment!

[@cameramanila4743]

hello Sir, May i ask how much I would fee i would charge for a timelapse of a building construction for 2 months. I will be using gopro hero 10.

[@TheSlantedLens]

I would charge a setup fee to install the cameras. And then a fee for each time you will need to go and change out the cards and batteries. And then a fee for editing the video. Figure your time and what you need to earn for that time.

[@Michaelajacksonfilms]

Thank you.

[@TheSlantedLens]

You're welcome! Thanks for watching!

[@BoboMedia007]

I might have missed this but how do you make sure there isn't camera shift when you are changing batteries or cards?

[@martiniliyanov]

Dummy battery

[@TheTechnoPilot]

He not specifically combatting this is seems, other than just generally locking downing the ball head and perhaps being careful not the bump.

[@TheSlantedLens]

The view is so wide and the track is pretty narrow so any shifting is not noticeable.

[@drawforge9640]

Jay p Morgan? Cannot be a coincidence

[@TheSlantedLens]

Blame my parents. Thanks for watching!

[@ilfracombe887]

This is nothing but plugging product. Shameless grifting. Zero about all the techniques and optimum settings. About the closest you got to being technical was telling us you shoot 1 frame per minute which gives 60 frames an hour. Shameless grifting, and mostly nothing to do with diy .🤢

[@TheSlantedLens]

Hope you learned a thing or two.
