What is the fastest shooting and uploading frequency?

Category: System Capabilities

With good cellular reception, the Timelapse X Pro can shoot and upload photos as fast as every minute, though this will be limited by power supply and data costs.

Using Low Power Mode*, the Timelapse X Pro can shoot and save as fast as every 10 seconds with batch photo upload sessions through out the day, or every 1 minute with immediate photo upload.

*Low Power Mode is not available with all DSLRs. Some DSLRs may allow for faster than ten second intervals. If you wish to frequently shoot fast intervals, chat with our team to discuss your options.

At the end of the fast-shoot, you can either collect the images from the unit manually, or set the system to upload them in batches.

Maximum speeds are only possible provided:

  • Photo uploads are performed after a shooting session (for 10 second intervals).
  • The unit has sufficient on-board storage space (if batch uploading photos).
  • The unit has a sufficient data plan and time to upload the large volume of photos per day.
  • The unit has a stable power supply for continuous activity, whether solar or AC.

As a general guide, for a long-term timelapse lasting more than 6 months, one photo every 10-30 minutes will provide more than enough images to produce a final video of reasonable length.
