Good video. One comment though regarding the interval setting. I have the Vello Shutterboss intervalometer and also do astrophotography. If I take 1 minute exposures and want to have the camera wait 3 seconds between each shot I need to set the interval to 1 min 3 sec and not just 3 seconds. In the manual under the interval setting section it says to use an interval that is longer than your exposure time. This confused me at first but I realized this was correct and what I needed to do because when I tried just setting the interval to 3 sec it didn’t work.
Rocky Mountain School of Photography I’m not sure, perhaps there is a setting I need to change but haven’t been able to find that. Also I have seen someone on another video reference the same procedure I do and another video that says the same thing you do. Yeah, strange.
@@greadore I saw in another video the same issue, but it turned out that the guy's intervalometer required at least 4 or 5 seconds between shots (not just 2 or 3). Thus, I believe he didn't have to set a 2 min 5 sec interval for a 2-minute exposure; they just had to have at least 4 or 5 secs in between. I need to test mine the same way...see if it has a sweet spot.
This is, without exception, the most concise explanation of anything I have heard on this channel. My congratulations. I understood perfectly, everything that you explained. I feel that you most certainly have a career in teaching!! Thank you. I am just starting astrophotography and, with my new intertravolemeter this will be a big help.
Finally...someone who explains this device in simple terms. Soooo excited to set up my device. Thank you sooooo much for creating this excellent educational video!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!! I've tried and given up multiple times trying to figure this out on my own. This video helped me get set up and shooting in 5 minutes!!
Thank you so much. Mine came with instructions, but i need a telephoto lens to read them. This video was so on point and what I needed. Thank you again for taking the time to make this video. You got my sub.
Excellent description :) I use mine so infrequently (clouds in England !) that I forget how during each interregnum, and this time I could not even find the instruction leaflet. You just rescued me THANK YOU !! (and the interval between exposures works exactly as you describe on my cheap no-name ebay device.)
Great tutorial. My intervalometer looks almost identical to yours except that it is the JJC brand. That's a great tip about using the dashes for an unlimited number of shots. I was actually wondering how to override the 399 photo limit on my unit. Yes, that is very restrictive - 399 photos. I was shooting time lapse of a cruise ship out at sea today and I had to do a few sequences after reaching the photo limit each time. I'm using the intervalometer with a Panasonic G7 which does have an internal time lapse feature but it's not very reliable. Actually, most of the time, it refuses to start the time lapse. But this unit works like a charm.
Very much appreciated - I bought the same intervalometer (unbranded) so these instructions cleared up a few things for me, there were no clear instructions with it but it was only $30 AUS
Not only is the content on this channel excellent, I had a question I just couldn’t work out for my intervalometer. It was answered very quickly and clearly and most of all it worked! Well done!!! Lots of others don’t ever reply.......
Thank you. At laaaaast, a straight forward, simply explained video on how to use this little gadget. I have the TW-283 and your video will also cover it.
well this is definitely the best video on how to use this. Appreciate the simple and straight forward explanation of long and interval. Other videos are confusing about that! Thanks!
This is the very best description and tutorial yet on how to use an intervalometer. I really like the way you have demystified the use of that instrument. Looking forward to see more time lapse photography using the intervalometer from your channel. Thanks.
Thanks Forest. Needed to set up my secondary camera for the wide angle for the upcoming eclipse. Thanks for turning a Total BLEEPING Mystery into a simple and elegant device! Thank you.
So 422 "likes" and zero of the other. I got some "eq" from B&H Photo today, most of which came straight from the arch-nemesis east asian country we all depend on so much, Bhutan. (No, not really. China). I got through assembling some complicated setups, and the JJC intervalometer for my Canon was something I wanted to watch a few videos on before going to sleep, and then tomorrow I was going to rewatch the best one so that I would at least be familiar with it. But look at all this free time I have to compose a review!! You're damn right I "like" the video, it was the definition of concise. It was extremely well organized too, and I could actually use my little plastic intervalometer a couple times without referring to anything but what I had retained from watching this one tutorial. Or maybe it was the single page of schezwanese-english instruction manual I tried to read, but after cobbling together a few lines of Chinese-google-English in to not one thing remembered, I have at last just two things to say: 1)Whatever Rocky Mountain School of Photography is paying you isn't enough, and, 2) I wonder if this guy made other tutorial videos...Thank you for the help, man.
Thank you for the tutorial on the intervalometer I just bought one recent and I’ve been watching all kinds of videos on how to use one and they all confused me you were simple straight to the point and tonight I’m going to give it a try to take pictures of the night sky have subscribe to your page and I will check out some of your other videos 😎👍
Thanks soo much. Wonderful video very comprehensive easy to understand and not too long. Perfect thing to to understand an intervalometer. Watch video as you are setting up and practicing with your 📷 camera.
Do you have a video of going through the entire process... like setting up the intervelometer, shooting the sequence, seeing the results. Also, how to compute camera settings too. Nice video, thanks
Very helpful. I just subscribed to your channel. I'm using an Olympus OM-1. Deep sky is new to me, I wanted to use an exposure longer than the camera intervalometer allows 60 seconds. I always shot single or star trails, tracking is totally new to me and I have had some good results so far at a Sark Sky Viewing area 4 hours away from me.
I very much appreciate this video! The instructions are pretty tiny so I appreciate you taking the time to do this video. I did have one question though I haven't been able to figure out how to turn it off, it seems as though it's always on, and that doesn't seem very effective when it comes to battery life. Any thoughts or tips on that?
Hey man! Thanks for the tips. Really helpful. Just wanted some more clearance on this. So I ll put my questions in an order. 1. If using the intervelometer do we get the set of photos that was set or we get a direct video? If getting a direct video what is a way to get the set of photographs out of the camera instead of the photos? 2. While using that if I want to change the battery or change anything to set to a different exposure can we stop/pause and do that and later it would start from the place we stopped/paused?
I've read the reason you set the length of your interval to the length of your actual shot length + an extra few seconds is because a lot of newer cameras have Long Exposure Noise Reduction, so it's basically doing a dark frame for you. How true that is I don't know. I have not tested it. But I'm wondering if the built in Long Exposure Noise Reduction would be better than doing the dark frames yourself. Now I've got to research this a bit more.
Wonderful instructions! Thanks! On Your camera,, ( I have a Canon T7i), do You set the interface( drive mode, ) to what You've set Your intervalometer has been set? Or do You leave it as is..God bless!

Weird! I’ve never run into that with mine. Thanks for adding that in!!!
Rocky Mountain School of Photography I’m not sure, perhaps there is a setting I need to change but haven’t been able to find that. Also I have seen someone on another video reference the same procedure I do and another video that says the same thing you do. Yeah, strange.
Must be different depending on the intervalometer. Huh. Well, thanks for letting me know!
bro thanks! I was losing it.

A perfect tutorial. Thank you.
The random words at the top of the intervalometer screen make perfect sense when they're explained to you.
Glad you liked it!

I have had mine for several months and had no idea how to interpret the manual. Thanks so much for a clear instructional tutorial!
Glad it was helpful!
Quick clear and concise explanation. I like the fact that you didn't waste any time before giving a clear description of the Intervalometer. Thanks
Thanks a million! You made that crystal clear. Way better than the instructions that came with mine.
The best and most comprehensive guide I have seen so far. Good job :-)
Thank you!
