Time lapse camera

[Julian Hepworth]

I'm thinking of doing a time lapse of my barn demoiltion and build.
Does anyone have any experience , good or bad , of suitable cameras ?

Thanks

Just use a phone (with an app on it if needed)

or get a GoPro copy

GoPro …… Great for time lapse

Most cameras will perform a time-lapse.

The trick is to move the camera as little as possible so you have consistency of image/angle/perspective particularly over a long project.

Personally I'd get a camera with an external power supply and buy a high capacity SD card.

Ideally you won't have to move the camera at all.

If the project is going to take weeks and months then you don't want the camera taking a new image every 30 seconds either.

Incidentally..... I have your glass

most cameras do it but for more than a hour or so most cameras are rubbish for time lapse:

I used this for my shed build:

Brinno BCC200 Construction Camera Outdoor Time Lapse Bundle | Includes: TLC200Pro Camera | Industrial-grade Clamp & Weather-resistant Housing | 42-day Battery Life https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08Y8BH...t_i_AWK3V9ZGDYE1PH9J6ER9?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

you can see the output of it here:

Thanks for the replies; I forgot to mention it would need to run off batteries and be in place for weeks which rules out phones and GoPros I think.
I was leaning towards the exact camera package @Neil McRae has used, so that's settled now

Any recommendations for a cheap Gopro Copy? Had one a number of years ago, however as with most useful stuff that the kids get interested in, it's disappeared
