v2.3 FPS override and "low light" mode for timelapse
« on: August 14, 2012, 11:26:36 PM »
Hi, I have recently made some shots for timelapse movie (still in progress) using ML v2.3 FPS override feature + "low light" mode to record flowing water. I find FPS override with speeds of 3.0 - 0.2 fps very useful for not very much demanding timelapse, where fast workflow is necessary. The video result + some remarks are on my fotoblog page and one of video shots is also embedded here.

Hi. I wanted drops to be there. In fact they are on the Cokin filter. Anyway everything was wet (it rained additionally).
Equippment is EOS 600D + Sigma 10-20 mounted on custom-built motorized slider via super clamp and Manfrotto magic arm.

Good setup and the video is an excellent example of ML 2.3 video time-lapse. Thanks for the contribution.

Sweet motorized slider setup! Do you have any details about your build? Looks pretty sweet. And if you're willing to take it hear water, I'd assume it's pretty well made :)

I've been looking at adding a motorized setup to my Cinevate Atlas 10 without buying their $1000+ setup :P

Hi Travis, sorry for replying a bit late.
The slider is built on standard industry Alu profiles (40x40mm) with 8mm gutter.
Power is delivered by a DC motor (not step-motor) continuously. A small and simple gearbox is built in.
Power is transmitted by a 6mm screw, nothing precise, just a threaded industry stick. It all appeared to be very smooth in motion.
The rest of parts is custom built. Check out m entry blog dedicated to this device, where you can find most of the technical details.
Overall cost was approx. 300-400$.
