HOW TO SETUP AN INTERVALOMETER FOR SELF TAKES 😀

[@673Piper]

Just purchased this very unit to assist in my landscape/night shots. Never thought of using it when I go fishing. BRILLIANT. Great vid brother and thanks.

[@Foxy1356-c6z]

Will love to see more camera stuff with night shot as i am new dlsr thanks

[@chesurechesure]

Second that not a fan of sacking/retaining fishing. My shots always come out mis focused at night, do like your night shots of that whacker you had recently Leon!!!!

[@barrysmith1869]

Great vid Leon . Always helping others . Good for you man 👍

[@mickhunt2781]

The battery drain on these is miniscule Leon. Even though there is no on/off switch, as long as the device is not running the batteries will last ages. I have used these devices for years on my Canon 1000D. I use rechargeable batteries and probably recharge them every month - never had it die yet. One thing to watch is the cable where is exits the case. Over time, if flexed hard the wires inside will break - I am now on my third. When you wrap it up do not bend that bit of cable - be gentle. On the 1000D I have found the Length setting to be about 4 seconds. This to allow the camera to pulse the flash for focusing (in the dark) which can take a few seconds - a way round this is to use a Speedlite with E-TTL preflash (but that costs!)

[@LEONBARTROPPCARPER]

+Mick Hunt Thxs for the great comment Mick, yes for night if using the flash then around 4 seconds but I personally use an LED Light so leave it at 2-3

[@adamgoodwin6102]

Thanks for this video mate hope you do some more camera/self takes for us to learn from 👍🏻

[@JamesSmith-to6tr]

Cheers mate spot on made everything easy 👍🏻

[@johnbashford9519]

Nice1 Leon , id never even heard of one til i just came across this clip, its got much more options than i currently use which os a max of 10 shots 3 sec apart on my older Canon.

[@tutts999]

Great Video Leon. All I have to do now is catch some decent fish! One extra tip for anyone using a flip screen...please look at the camera lens once you know you are in the picture. Otherwise you'll look cross-eyed on your photos!

[@Walnuts1706]

Leon great video but I have a question dirty sounds stupid I have a Canon 600D with the flip screen put the settings in auto focus or A+ the flash automatically goes off annoying but not a problem can I look at the flip screen to see what the picture looks like before it’s taken or just let the intervalometer do it’s work 👍

[@LEONBARTROPPCARPER]

There is a setting in the camera where you can turn off the flash. Also if you are in LIVE MODE You will be able to see what picture you will get and then you can also set the camera to show the picture before taking another one

Hello friend, i wanted to get an intervalometer for my Canon 200D. Can you recommend one ? I tried searching the net.. but couldn't find anything :( Thanks in advance

[@LEONBARTROPPCARPER]

Have a look on eBay there should be some good n there

[@ThatIndianBlader]

@@LEONBARTROPPCARPER i did try. But couldn't :(

[@steveashworth2155]

Hi Ian, You say to take the batteries out in between uses, if you do this do you have to reset the intervalometre again next time you want to use it or does it remember the previous settings.thanks steve

[@LEONBARTROPPCARPER]

Hi Steve, I believe you can keep the batteries in I have been told, I personally take them out a re input the settings

[@giantoutdoorsfr.3757]

top tips leon. I had never heard of the thing before. I have a remote thing for my Nikon 5300 that Rachael got me for my 50th but I could never spare a hand or knee to press the button. will you get on to led lights instead of flashes later in the series ?

[@LEONBARTROPPCARPER]

I will at some point and glad you enjoyed the vid

[@deanbrooker35]

Hi Leon I have the Sony a7iii and was wondering what focus mode you use and would you turn off the face detection off on my Sony. I know you have a Canon but any tips would help. When I say focus mode I mean flex spot, wide or center focus points thanks in advanced

[@LEONBARTROPPCARPER]

Hi dean, I turn off face detection and set the focus to ONE point which is just below centre which is where 99% of the time will be the fishes flank, it’s still on auto focus but only focuses on that one point. Hope that helps, I also take everything whether in day or night in Manual mode

[@deanbrooker35]

Thanks, Leon I will give that ago. The last photo I took seem to be focused on my face fish was still clear due to the fact the f-stop was reasonably high but not as clear as it could have been. Thanks again for replying. I also use manual mode all the way lol

[@LEONBARTROPPCARPER]

Hope it helps

[@brendanbailey4768]

Hi Leon thanks for all the information. On the amazon site it doesn’t say this is suitable for a canon 70D, It looks like you’re using a 70D can you confirm if you know it’s compatible please Many thanks

[@LEONBARTROPPCARPER]

Glad have one for the 70D and it’s compatable

[@razorree]

Can i use intervalometer to engage continuous shooting (setting continuous on camera instead of bulb) for 20 seconds and delay/timer of few minutes ? (with sony a6000)

[@LEONBARTROPPCARPER]

+razorree yes I cant see why not

[@razorree]

well.. i don't know, maybe there are some limitations (like, remote port doesn't work in continuous mode ?)

[@sharpercarper2072]

Hi leon will the cannon one work with my cannon 750 d as is dosnt say 750d in the listing when u click on the Amazon link ...cheers

[@kevlar8632]

Do you need to focus the camera on where you want before you start the cycle? So if i was to put a bucket on a stick for instance where me and the fish would be, using back button focusing? Its constantly focused on that point as long as the subject and camera are kept the same distance apart etc.

[@LEONBARTROPPCARPER]

Set the focus point on where the fishes flank will be when you take the catch shot, make sure it’s on auto focus

[@JB-kg9we]

@@LEONBARTROPPCARPER what autofocus do you use on the canon as there’s 4 different ones on mine. Cheers mate

[@LEONBARTROPPCARPER]

I just use AF which is AutoFocus on the lens and Manual On the camera

[@djdave29]

What tripod do you recommend mate? I've got a Canon EOS650D.

[@LEONBARTROPPCARPER]

I use a few different ones a cheap one off eBay will do mate

[@seanjohnson1551]

Hi Leon have you tried using the magic lantern firmware? That has a intervalometer built in to it and easy to use from the look of it ! ?

[@LEONBARTROPPCARPER]

No don’t use any other firmware on my cameras

[@carpanglingwelchy8637]

Hi Leon, ive been really struggling with self takes with my canon and intervalometer. Can you help please?? Im only using the built in flash for night shots and am having to manually focus the camera first, is that normal. Also auto focus in manual settings during the day doesnt seem to focus on the fish properly, unless someone taps on tge screen to mske it focus on the fish. Any help massively appreciated!!

[@LEONBARTROPPCARPER]

Try getting a LED light around £20 and put on auto focus, set the auto focus point just below the middle of the fish and use an intervelometer and you’re good to go

[@pedrosousa7254]

Hi Leon. Thanks for the video. Is there any override for the max amount of shots? lets say that.. I wanted it to take shots until I end it my self. By the way, I've heard that this intervalometer (at least it seems the same from the images on ebay) that it does not have a switch off button? Is this true? Cheers.

[@LEONBARTROPPCARPER]

Hi mate, I usually set the Intervalometer to the max and then when I’ve taken the amount of shots I need to I just stop it. I’m not sure if it turns itself off after a certain amount of time but I just take the batteries out to be sure

[@archivefootage7898]

@@LEONBARTROPPCARPER There is no 'off' button on these so the batteries will run down completely. Always take the batteries out.

Is it possible to use the Canon Eos utility live view at the same time?

[@SidBonkers51]

With mine there is no need to remove the batteries at it turns off after 30 seconds of inactivity, so unless your only catching a fish every 2 or 3 years its good to go, that said its good practice to take a couple of spare AAA batteries just in case

[@Jim..Louch1969]

Great video...except the long function is how long you want the shutter to remain open and is only relevant in bulb mode, it has nothing to do with focus Leon.

[@LEONBARTROPPCARPER]

Thxs for that Jim, I had found that out after I’d done the video

[@Jim..Louch1969]

LEON BARTROPP CARPER No worries mate... Love your vlogs, tips and honest reviews. Learnt a lot so thankyou and keep them coming!!

[@LEONBARTROPPCARPER]

Thxs Jim

[@Valjurai]

So I have the exact one shown in the video ... and recently something's gone wrong with it. The timer somehow is now interfering with the intervalometer setting such that it takes the first pic and then just sits there beeping for the rest of time... no counter, nothing. Anyone seen this happen and know what was done to cause that or can be done to unset it?

[@LEONBARTROPPCARPER]

Not heard of that before maybe do a Google search may help

[@Valjurai]

Actually, I later found out that the connector itself to the camera had come loose... which somehow translated into the FIRST signal getting through, but all the rest not.

[@w3st80]

What tips have you got when you don't have a screen to see yourself ? Using a cannon 1300d

[@LEONBARTROPPCARPER]

Not a lot you can do apart from either buy a screen or put the lens at its widest and hope for the best

[@archivefootage7898]

Get out in your garden/open space on even on the bank, with your unhooking mat and the camera set up on your tripod and the lens zoomed out. Get an adjustable bankstick and stick it next to yourself as you pose open handed kneeling behind the mat (like Leon does in the video). Adjust the stick so that it's slightly higher than headheight. Now, move your tripod to a position where when looking at the screen or through the lens the image in the frame has the height of the bankstick plus a little extra. Now measure the distance between the tripod and front of your unhooking mat (you could even use the bankstick for this). This will now give you a good idea of where to place everything (with the lens zoomed out) when you do have a fish to photograph and all you'll then need to do is angle the camera correctly (using the bankstick method always works).
