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.

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…]
Radian 2 is a motion time lapse device that looks a lot like the Syrp Genie, which I recently reviewed. However, the Radian 2 is offered at a much lower price point than the Syrp Genie. [Read more…]

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…]
