Review: Vello ShutterBoss II Timer Remote for Canon EOS R & Rebel Series

March 5, 2019 By Eric Reagan

The Canon EOS R is a pretty great camera but it’s missing a couple of amenities. The built-in time-lapse movie mode is great if you want to have a finished 4K timelapse out of the camera as a video file. If you want to capture still images for later editing and assembly, however, you are out of luck with the in-camera options. [Read more…]

December 27, 2017 By Eric Reagan

B&H has a great deal on the Vello Shutterboss II Timer Remote for $27.95 (reg. $49.95).

You can read my Vello Shutterboss II Review for the Canon model for more details. This deal ends on Dec. 28 at midnight. Check it out here at B&H Photo.

August 31, 2015 By Eric Reagan

Photographer Noe Alonzo captured close to 3TB of images over the course of three years to make this time lapse tour of Seoul, South Korea.

As he puts it, “Three years of no social life, three years of ditching my friends and events and ignoring my girlfriend so I could be out on some roof. I’d say each shot was on average 6 hours of work. Some shots I reshot 4-5 times until I got it right.”

The gear he cites as used on this project includes: [Read more…]

How to Shoot Time Lapse Sequences on the Canon EOS 5DS and 5DS R

May 21, 2015 By Eric Reagan

Canon 5Ds

The past two releases of Canon professional DSLRs show that Canon has finally come around to the notion that its customers who pay thousands of dollars for a camera think an intervalometer should be built-in. The Canon 7D Mark II along with the 5DS and 5DS R cameras are the first Canon DSLRs to offer a built-in intervalometer. With these new models, it is now possible to shoot interval images for time lapse sequences without the need for the overpriced Canon TC-80N3.

Note, however, that shooting still images with the built-in intervalometer is different than shooting in Time-lapse movie mode on the 5DS and 5DS R. [Read more…]

April 6, 2015 By Eric Reagan

Syrp Genie Mini

The Syrp Genie is a fantastically simple device for creating complex time lapse sequences. I have a review forthcoming but, as a spoiler, I love it. The downside, however, is that it is rather bulky and costs over $800. [Read more…]
