  2. I would feel the same about a new camera! That is why for my time lapse videos I use simple cheap cameras that I buy on ebay. One video I left the camera on my roof for many days in the snow. Not a good idea with an expensive new camera!

  4. Your idea is to complex. I did my timelapse by opening the camera and hot wiring the shutter. My timer is a simple 555 electronic timer.

  8. - this is not about powering the camera, is about timelapse !
    Meaning taking thousand of pictures in a long period of time

    I do also build a rail for that camera, check my other videos

  11. Dude Why don't you soft hacking instead of this solution? It's just like an analog solution. :)  You should watch "Sunlapse: Panning Time Lapse Sunrise In Levanger Norway CHDK " I am sure that you will find an interesting/fantastic shooting angle with your mechanical ability.
