Time-lapse Tips, Tricks and Resources

By adding the Pclix LT into your photography toolbox you now have the ability to shoot

you would like to share any of the sequences you have captured using our products by all
means let us know. We'll always have a handful posted on our website for the world to see.
Tips
Here are some simple guidelines to follow which can make a huge difference in your end
product.
- Always mount your camera on a tripod or very stable camera mount
- Make sure your camera batteries are fully charged
- Make sure you have plenty of room on your memory card(s)
- Pack an extra set of AAA batteries. The Pclix will run for about a month on a set but at
some point they are going to run out and you don't want that to happen in the middle
of nowhere.
- If you plan on shooting in snow, rain, hail, sandstorms or other extreme weather
consider using a camera pouch to protect both your camera and the Pclix. There are
many types available and most are worth every cent on a bad weather day.
- Take some time to consider the best place to put your camera. Depending on the
length of time you will be shooting many variables can change during that time. Things
like the position of the sun, the need for someone else to use the same spot your
camera is positioned on. You don't want to position your camera at the waters edge
where at high tide you'll be up to your waist in water. You also need to consider the
owner of the property you might be shooting on, a tripod is a dead giveaway that you
mean business. In a way you need to try and predict the future or at least have a good
understanding of how your environment will change over the time you will be there.
