How is it different from the previous model? When you want to ramp your interval from 5 seconds to 10 seconds for example. When you need sub 1 second intervals or very precise 0.1 second interval adjustments. When you want to control two cameras at the same time in sync, for example for a panorama setup. When and where would you use it?įor your regular old timelapse, a lot of cameras lack a built in intervalometer.įor when you want to plan a timelapse or even schedule a recurring timelapse, for example for sunrises from your cloud palace balcony or for a construction site where you want the camera to shoot certain hours of the day etc.įor when you’re shooting astro photos and timelapses, allowing you to use longer exposures thanks to the bulb mode. In short, it’s a more efficient way to trigger your camera. The LRT PT 3 does not send this AF signal, which gives you the shortest “dark time” possible which allows you to still operate the camera between shots for example to review your histogram or adjust settings.
Your camera doesn’t know this though, even though it’s on MF, it receives the AF signal and gets into photo mode, slowing down the camera for other operations. This first AF signal tells your camera to autofocus, but you don’t use AF when shooting timelapse! If you set it to shoot a series of photos for a timelapse, it will send off two signals for each capture.įirst it sends off an autofocus signal, then it sends the shutter trigger signal. So there’s something wrong with nearly every camera remote out there.
#Astro timelapse upgrade#
I think that video’s due for an upgrade by the way!
#Astro timelapse professional#
LRTimelapse is used by every professional timelapse photographer in the world, including yours truly.
This remote was designed by Gunther Wegner, the developer of the one and only LRTimelapse editing software. It also features two cold shoe mounting points as well as two eyelets to attach a strap or cord. It consists of a plastic housing with an OLED screen, a single metal knob as an input button, a power switch, a USB port and two 2.5mm jack ports. The LRT PT 3 or PT3 as I’ll call it from now is a universal camera remote made specifically for timelapse and astro photographers.
