I lost my radio remote somewhere between the Nullarbour Roadhouse and Albany and do not think it is really economic to go back and look for it.

I did manage to take some long time exposures by using rubber bands over the shutter release but doubt that is a long term practical solution.

I am also playing with sped up motion videos using the D700's interval timer.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a less expensive fleabay remote release and interval timer for the D200 and D700?

14 buck one..works fine..

or if you want get fancy a wireless remote one..38 bucks.

I bought a Hanel Giga T Pro II from Teds not so long ago for my 5D mkII, easily the best wireless remote I have used. It's capable of normal remote shooting and interval shooting.

Cost close to $100 though so it's not an eBay cheapie.

I've got the same remote. It is pretty awesome.

how does the interval shooting or time lapse work with the camera power?

does it turn the camera on and of each time or is the camera just left on somehow with a power source ?

and is there an example that anyone can remember that is in the forum threads?

Im reading as much of the threads as I can but there is so much to get through!!!!

cheers eden

What little I have done power was not a big problem, shooting a few thousand frames drops the battery power by 1/3 to 1/2 so no great problem.

If I do more I may get a battery grip and 2 batteries

I was shooting about 1 frame a second up to one frame every 5 seconds so no time for the camera to turn off and on again.

Working out frame rates and screen time was my big hassle

Does anyone have a calculator thingy for that ??????

Total frames / 25

Or you can go for 29fps or 24fps but then you will need to think harder.

I run on super 8 @ 18fps

[Dalzine]

You could think in Flash and do 12fps

Does this help?
