Pretty much all of the features felt like they would be useful at some point, I didn’t get the feeling any had been added for the sake of it.
EBOOK LRTIMELAPSE SOFTWARE
When navigating through the software features of the device, I had more than a few “oh, nice” moments when discovering things that it could do, or settings that could be configured. These features just open up new creative possibilities that would be difficult to achieve otherwise. Whilst 99% of my time-lapse shoots use the standard interval mode, I could definitely see myself making use of the interval ramping feature and the scheduling feature at some point in the future. The Pro-Timer 3 has more than enough features to meet the needs of most time-lapse amateurs and even professionals.
EBOOK LRTIMELAPSE MANUAL
Downloadable digital instructions can regularly be updated, so they encourage you to download the latest manual from their website. I know I could download and print the manual, but this really shouldn’t be necessary for a premium product at this price point.Īccording to the manufacturer, since the software on the timer is regularly updated, printed instructions would quickly become outdated.
Whilst a simple leaflet would add almost nothing to the overall cost of the product, it would allow you to quickly look up specific features and settings on the go, without needing a computer or phone with an internet connection. I didn’t realise this at first and the cable I had in my kit bag was too short, so I had to order another and wait for it to arrive.Ī paper manual would also be a welcome addition. When buying this timer online, retailers may offer to upsell you a cable, however it’s up to you to make sure you get the right one for your camera. By default, the timer comes on its own in the box with no accessories of any kind. One thing to be aware of when buying this timer is that you need to buy a separate shutter release cable. I was impressed with how intuitive the user interface was, despite only having a single clickable knob.Īs well as having all of the features I want, the information shown on the display during a time-lapse shoot is exactly the information I need.Īt this point, I really got a sense that this was a gadget I would find useful and would likely have a permanent place in my everyday time-lapse kit.
EBOOK LRTIMELAPSE PRO
This is not a criticism however, the case seems sturdy and fit for purpose.Īfter reading the online documentation, I turned the Pro Timer 3 on and started to play around with it. I have seen similar results from high-end 3d printers before. It has a rough matt textured surface which gave it an almost prototype-like feel.
The texture of the plastic that the case is made from seemed slightly unusual at first.
EBOOK LRTIMELAPSE FULL
Despite the product’s small size, it is packed full of features, as I went on to find out. You’d be forgiven for thinking that its small size and weight means there is not much to it, but you would be wrong. At just over 3 inches (84mm) on its longest edge, this device really is quite compact. The first thing that struck me when I opened the box was just how small the timer was. To those people I would say that the PT3 is a specialist piece of technology aimed at professional time-lapse photographers and amateurs that are serious about their craft, and it is priced as such. Someone who is new to time-lapse (or photography in general) may see the PT3 as expensive, especially considering their entry-level timer may have cost a fraction of the price. We tested the product over a couple of weeks, here are the results. Packed into a small form factor that slides nicely into your camera’s flash mount, this nifty little unit packs plenty of features whilst maintaining an intuitive interface. The Pro Timer 3 from the maker of LRTimelapse, Gunther Wegner, sits somewhere in the middle. From the basic unbranded basic intervalometers you can pick up on eBay, through to the complicated, specialist high-tech units that link up to your favourite motion controller. There are quite a few time-lapse controllers on the market.
