Great footage! Im glad you were able to set this up. Technology has really improved. The time lapse from a few years ago we had to change out the cards almost every day. Looks like it will be a big machine!

Those Afidus cameras can solve so many things for me. Thanks Jay P!

An excellent video of the quality we have been spoiled with.

Thanks for sharing your techniques. You may be interested to know that Walt Disney had time-lapse cameras setup on massive towers throughout the property to record the construction of Disneyland in 1954. The videos are available on Youtube. Incredible foresight way back when.

Hello, I am trying to create a time lapse of plants growing over a 10-week period in an indoor setting using supplemental light. Do you have any recommendations? Is the GoPro Hero10 or 11 a good camera choice for this application?

Great suggestions and tips for extended time-lapse. Thanks for sharing.

How reliable is the fist option? Have you ever taken it down to find out it wasn't working?

Question - lost me with the wifi set up - what if the construction site doesn't wi-fi. Do you recommend a hot spot for set up prior to leaving site for the 3weeks or so?

[Justin-hnuv]

Cool ideas. I had no idea there were dedicated cameras for long-term time lapse like the Afidus device.

Thank you for the great info. I've used Brinno cameras for some construction projects in the past, and they were okay. Just ordered a couple of Afidus units for a new project and I'm optimistic about them based on your video. I do notice some heavy artificial sharpening in some of your angles. Is this selectable in the Afidus ap or perhaps something you added in post? Thanks! -AW

Great video. You are quite remarkable !

[BrianIrwin]

I am sort of fascinated by that machine, that thing is going to be a monster. Anything to share on that bad boy?

[cameramanila]

hello Sir, May i ask how much I would fee i would charge for a timelapse of a building construction for 2 months. I will be using gopro hero 10.

[BoboMedia]

I might have missed this but how do you make sure there isn't camera shift when you are changing batteries or cards?

[ilfracombe]

This is nothing but plugging product. Shameless grifting. Zero about all the techniques and optimum settings. About the closest you got to being technical was telling us you shoot 1 frame per minute which gives 60 frames an hour. Shameless grifting, and mostly nothing to do with diy .🤢
