My Time Lapse set up for longer sessions
My Time Lapse set up for longer sessions. I have several old mobile phones that I use for time lapse videos. If it is a fairly short session the phone battery usually lasts long enough and the memory card is big enough. Sometimes I do sessions that continue for days or even weeks. When they are that long I need to ensure the camera is not moved for any reason as that would spoil the video. That means you don't want to be plugging the power supply in to the phone every time the battery runs down so I leave a lead permanently connected to the phone and the charger in the power socket and switch it on at the mains when the battery level has dropped. The next problem would be filling the memory card and having to move the phone to access the card or to connect the phone to my PC to download the files. The fix here is to use a WiFi app that allows me to access the SD card remotely and download the files and also delete them to clear the memory.
