“Aputure” Time lapse intervalometer
Jul 18th
I recently picked up this bad boy from a seller on ebay. After four days of not recieving a tracking number I email the seller and asked them wtf the deal was with it, they told me to sit tight, and they could not offer me a tracking number… Thankfully 8 days after ordering it miraculously showed up on my doorstep.
Pros:
- At $25 dollars with shipping it was a STEAL for the results you can achieve.
- Readily available batterys, according to the manual they will last for 2-3 years.
- Easy to use with intuitive mode buttons and a dial set I figured out how to use it within 5 minutes ( No Manual Need, but I did read it just incase I missed anything, I suggest you do the same)
Cons:
- The screen is flashing that my batter is low ( After 2 Hrs of usage) It seems to work fine but does not inspire confidence.
- Buggy usage. Ive had to turn the unit off multiple times do to the timer starting prematurely and on its own will.
The Down Low:
Honestly for $25 Bucks how can ya go wrong? Just don’t bank your 21 hour time lapse music video on it.
Video Review:
126 LED Light for DSLR use.

I may get one for use in really bad low light situations (Lounges, clubs, etc..)
