Uses: Water resistant but not water proof. Not suitable for use on moving objects.
Compatibility: Cameras up to 5lbs, action sport cameras and smart phones (tripod adapter and software may be required). DSLR cameras may require a balance plate. Use with or without a tripod. Due to the weight/balance and location of the tripod mounts on various cameras, we can’t recommend the camalapse 4 for all cameras. However, you might find that if your camera is small, lightweight (less than 80oz/2.27kg/5lb) and fairly center balanced, the camalapse 4 may work for your particular camera.
Instructions:
Simply attach your camera to the top of the camalapse 4 via a tripod adapter (if necessary) and either attach the camalapse 4 to a tripod or set on a low/flat/stable surface. Point your camera where you would like the video to end and while firmly holding the bottom half of the camalapse 4, twist the top portion of the camalapse 4 to the right so that the camera is pointed towards your starting point. Click record or start your built-in intervalometer on your camera and you are all set. (tripod, camera and tripod adapter not included – shown in pictures for example only.
Tips
Right to left panning: You can achieve clockwise panning by hanging the camalapse 4 upside down or reversing footage in your software.
Faster panning: Stack 2 together for faster and more rotations. 720°/60min or 360°/30min
DSLR and balance plates: If your DSLR is not center balanced and you need an adapter to help, please consider the Neewer 4 Way Macro Focusing Focus Rail Slider or something similar (4-Way adjustable). A balance plate will help you to micro adjust the balance of your camera so that it’s weight is properly centered over the camalapse unit.
