The key to taking great photos and videos
is proper mounting and placement of the
TimelapseCam Pro. We designed the
TimelapseCam Pro so that it can be mounted
many different ways. Take a moment to
learn more about mounting your
TimelapseCam Pro properly, and you will
quickly see improvement in your images.
Basic Principles
1. Stability - Mount the TimelapseCam Pro
securely so that it does not move. It should
never be hung from above or mounted to an
object that moves in the wind.
2. Focus - Note that the TimelapseCam Pro
lens can be focused manually. This is a snap.
Use the included measuring tape to measure
the distance between the TimelapseCam Pro
and its target. Set the lens accordingly.
3. Lighting - As with all cameras, it is best to
avoid aiming the TimelapseCam Pro at the
source of light (for instance, the sun). Ideally
during daytime, position the TimelapseCam
Pro so it is facing its target, e.g. a bird feeder,
but facing away from the sun.
On the Ground
Set up is simple, even on the ground.
Just position your TimelapseCam Pro directly
on the ground. If you’re concerned about
it falling over, use the included Camera Strap
to secure the TimelapseCam Pro to the base
of a tree, a post, or other solid feature (a brick
works great).
