Update 22 - looking great! There are some pcb manufacturers Ive used before in china which were good and can do the assembly for your future works. If your interested let me know. Great work!

Awesome undertaking & very impressive it looks!!!! Bags I the purple one :)

The black case is hot.

to anyone who wants a good but cheap rail system: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/cineik/cineik-ir13-dslr-camera-rail-and-shoulder-support

Please fund it so I can get my rails

Got mine today, THANKS! Nifty little gadget for sure, charging it now.....

So I was hoping to use this devise in a way that would allow me to do a 5 exposure HDR on my Canon 5D at say 1 stop apart. Will this be possible in Timelapse mode somehow? Would I just do a manual exposure say 5 stops below and set each exposure at one stop each?

Can't wait for the manual!

@Kishor Yup, it is indeed good news - I'm still just keeping my fingers crossed that the Pebble SDK allows (easy) access to the sort of functionality required to talk to arbitrary BT gadgets- and, of course, we need something in the TL+ that'll Do The Right Thing when it receives a command, but I believe that is already in the works for the TL+ firmware.

Good news!!! The Pebble has now BT4. Could someone please make app for Pebble that can connect TL+.

@John: depending on how sensitive you set the threshold, I would suspect you'd fill up your memory card with false positives.

While eagerly awaiting the arrival of my unit and reading the latest update, I got to thinking. The Timelapse+ has a light sensor in it, which it will measure the amount of ambient light. If it's able to detect light changes, then it should be able to detect a sudden shift in light change. A bit of code inserted to detect this sudden light change it could trigger the camera. That sudden change of light could be lightning, you could have a cheap lightning trigger. Million dollar idea?

I hope you can implement something similar to this for the bulb ramping feature: http://youtu.be/5DIfRDDTInE…

Please write your thought here!!

@Jairo Marin re Canon Power Shot SX30 IS

I don't know if this would help (how much of a techie you are...) but there is a description of SX30 support from CHDK http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/SX30 - I haven't checked the specs of the SX30, but using CHDK on my G9 it is possible to trigger the camera by applying voltage to the USB (basically, I just use a switch and three AAA batteries) which just simulates plugging the camera into a PC.

I was wondering myself if the Timelapse+ outputs could be used for this (directly, applying V to the line or indirectly via a simple adapter) so that the Timelapse+ could control that as well as the DSLR via the more conventional route.

@Kishor Atreya

I was thinking along similar same lines - could the Pebble talk directly to the Timelapse+ (assuming that the Pebble got BT 4 and I could up my pledge for a BT Timelapse+). Shall have to add learning more about BT to my reading list...

I pledged Pebble e paper Watch in the KS. Many backers have requested to include BT4.0. I hope they are digging out this possibility. If they do, any possibility for the APP for Timelapse+ with BT version. If we could, than our camera can be handle from the wrist watch!!

I added two more cabels in the survey. How do I increase the amount pledged with 20usd?

Hey Elijah, I ordered backed a level for 2 timelapses, and I need a different cable for each. How do you want me to specify that in the survey?

I already pledged $10 for international shipping so I check "No" when it asked about that. I hope that was right.

Hi, Elijah. I use a Canon Power Shot SX30 IS and wonder what's the appropriate cable for it.
I won't be able to finish the survey until I have that information. Thanks

Just filled out the survey also. Can't wait for my timelapse+.......

Just filled out the survey - looks like the "Optional" questions are not optional :-), so I've put "none" in those fields (including the optional cables fields)

Are there commercially available cables we can use in case we need replacements, or adapt to other cameras as the need arises?

I need the Sony cable, but would like to pick up the cable for Canon as well.

Hi Elijah,

I have a question about additional payment for additional cables. How I can send you additional money to get two different data cabes (for Nikon and Canon)? Right now I should receive package only with one of them.

Sincerely,
Antony

@sgllama - I understand that the Timelapse+ will have a USB host port, through which the picture could be fetched from the camera.
@Simon Boucher - That same USB host port could also connect via a hub to an off-the-shelf modem.
It's just a Simple Matter Of Programming.

I was wondering the same thing sgllama. It is also a bit annoying having to put NA in all the optional fields to fill out the survey. But it's just a minor inconvenience for an awesome product.

Elijah - Just received a survey, filled it in then realised it didn't have anywhere for name & address! Have I missed something obvious or has there been a boo-boo somewhere?

@Simon Boucher : How were you expecting the picture to get from the camera to the Timelapse+ and thence to the modem?

Super excited to get this! It looks awesome! Out of interest, do you have any idea on the water-resistant-ness of it yet? I'm sure it won't be waterproof, but if it ends up getting rained on, would the case handle that?

Hey Elijah an awesome feature for Timelapse+ would be a 3G or 4G modem... so the device could upload photos to a FTP server as the camera takes them. The device will be awesome as is, but this feature would be cool in a future version.

A little feature change in the firmware that I think could be useful would be the ability to set a beginning and ending interval that the Timelapse+ would smoothly change through throughout the duration. That way one could have the resulting time-lapse speedup or slowdown without having to try and do it in post.

@Peter - I'm not sure how the whole EU Law thing has become the scapegoat for this. There is no law involved, just different import duties for different items. It is true that enabling more than 29m59s of recording would mean that the cameras would attract more import duty but only in the EU not anywhere else in the world and to be honest everyone I know would rather pay £200 more on an already expensive camera to have this. I think it has more to do with Canon not wanting to cannibalise sales of their video cameras. Canon make astronomy versions of some of their cameras which would have a far smaller target userbase than a video version of the 5dmk3 which would only require different firmware. Anyway... I do hope that there might be some way Timelapse+ could be made to circumvent this. It would be an amazingly cool feature.

@Elijah - 48 hrs is plenty good enough for my use. The sort of tweaks to improve it I would say can come post-release.

@Andi - fyi, the 29m59s limitation is dictated by EU tax law...of all things. Recording from 30m onwards puts a camera into a different taxing category that makes them more expensive - so thats the workaround. On Canon EOS the shutter-release doesn't trigger video recording so I don't think it will be functional on launch....but I'm hoping to have camera control later on via USB perhaps. :)

Hi Elijah,
Very excited about getting my units but I wondered something. I am lucky enough to be getting a 5dMk3 when they are released and like the mk2 it seems to have the fixed video recording limit of 29m59s. In the past with my mk2 I had to manually stop and immediately restart recording before the limit was reached. Is there a way the Timelapse+ could automatically re-trigger the camera to keep filming? I record 2 hour + concerts and to be able to automate this would be an incredible feature for me. Thanks for such an amazing device!

I haven't got a survey regarding camera cable/s. has it been sent yet? If so, how do i retroactively enter my info?

I know you have plenty on your plate, but any update on how long the unit will stay charged, assuming normal usage? You previous talked about some power-saving ideas in the firmware.

I was interested in the approximate weight. Or even the range of weight since I have some unique applications which demand a lighter weight. Thank You So Much!

Is there any possibility to work with the app linked here!!

Looks great. I could live without the LED flashlight.

hey congratulations elijah!!! this is so awesome! i just wish i could have stuck to the solar charger pledge, but i'm happy with the non-solar charger bluetooth version. can't wait to hear the product updates.

thanks for pouring your heart and soul into this. it's gonna be GREAT!!!
