FIRST UK PROSUMER TIME-LAPSE PHOTOGRAPHY MOTION CONTROL SYSTEM

Create professional looking motion controlled time-lapse photography on a finite budget.

It is now possible for enthusiast photographers and film makers to create their own time-lapse masterpieces. Everyday examples include capturing sunrise to sunset in just a few minutes, or a stadium filling up with people in just a few seconds. The artistic and commercial applications of time-lapse are no longer the privilege of the professional.

Time-lapse photography is the art of compressing long periods of time into short sequences of video. The process is achieved by controlling the movement and timing of a regular camera to capture a series of still images over a period of minutes, hours or even days. A video sequence is produced by combining these stills into video frames evoking a sense of speed and movement.

The “Stage Zero” is the first truly affordable time-lapse solution enabling any enthusiast photographer to create stunning looking timescapes using free software that can run on any Windows PC.

The system combines a motion rail of up to 2 metres in length with a controller for precision movement and triggering the camera.

The “Stage Zero” has full support for all popular makes and models of camera including Canon, Nikon, Pentax, Sony, and Panasonic. The rail system is available in 3ft and 6ft lengths and can be mounted on any standard tripod.

The controller is fully user upgradeable via USB with built-in support for a secondary axis motion system due for release as an upgrade later this year.

The “Stage Zero” system has a complete series of training videos featuring how to setup, operate, and finally produce time-lapse videos and is priced at £699.
