Just three printed sections
which fit together to make
I fitted it to a universal ball joint I already had and clamped my iPod
The whole thing will fit on the standard screw on a tripod.
I also found the stand from an old 7 inch monitor and attached it to that
so I could stand and angle it in the bedroom window to take a time lapse video.
The block on the right is a rechargeable 5V power bank.
Useful when something may need power for an extended period.
Not a brilliant day for time lapse photography!
If I understood things correctly the built in Apple Camera app (when set to the time lapse setting) chooses the number of frames per second so that the resulting video is no more than 40 seconds long no matter how long it has been filming. It does this after the recording has been stopped. Not exactly a speedy process but nor is it speedy transferring 100s of individual photos to a laptop and putting them together to make a video,
Is there no end to your talents John. I think you will be head-hunted by NASA before long.:)
ReplyDeleteRoy: Jack of all trades but ......
DeleteThis looks a much better print.
ReplyDeleteAdrian: A bit better. I think a lot depends on the 'quality' of the original mesh in the .stl file.
DeleteIt was rock steady, John.
ReplyDeleteWilma: At first I thought it to be a bit clunky in design but that's what makes it stable.
