Description
The LRTimelapse Pro Timer 3 is one of the most advanced and flexible camera intervalometers.
It was developed “Made in Germany” by Gunther Wegner, one of the pioneers of timelapse photography and designed with the needs of professional timelapse photographers and ambitious amateurs in mind.
The LRT Pro Timer is a small and light intervalometer with a build in Li-Ion Battery which can be charged via USB and holds up to 20 hrs. It has a crisp OLED display which is readable in all conditions and a single knob for easy and ergonomic operation – even in the dark and with gloves. It supports two cameras, timed and periodic shooting, improved support for Mirrorless Cameras, Flashlight feature for foreground illumination and most important: it allows you to shoot with the shortest dark times possible. That means your camera will be operable while shooting!
Intervals are adjustable in 0.1 second increments. Interval ramping allows smooth adjustment of the interval over an adjustable time while shooting – also in combination with motion control hardware.
Optionally, the camera can be operated in Bulb mode (Astro photography) for timelapse and single exposures. All lights on the can be switched off – essential for shooting in darkness.
Default values for interval, number of shots etc. can be saved in the settings of the LRT Pro Timer.
The integrated Real Time Clock allows for timed recordings and periodic shooting at specific time spans each day.
It features a small and lightweight case, which can be attached directly to the hot shoe of the camera at two different angles or with corresponding eyelets to the tripod.
The release cable for the respective camera can be selected additionally. Likewise, an AUX cable is offered to establish a synchronization to the Black Forest Motion PINE controllers.
Compared to its predecessor the LRT Pro Timer 3 offers a bigger display (twice the resolution, nearly 3 times the size), a high precision optical glass cover to protect the display, a slick aluminum knob for more precise rotation and tactile indicators for camera port numbers on the housing.
The LRT Pro Timer works with any camera for which there is a standard release cable (DSLR / DSLM, Nikon, Canon, Sony, Fuji, Olympus, Leica and many others).

*) For cameras which do not require the AF signal to be sent before the shutter release. By default, the minimum shutter time will be calculated as (Shutter_Release_Time + AF_Time + 50ms) rounded up to the next 100ms. By default, it’s 0.4 secs. For cameras which do not require an AF-Signal to be sent before the release, you can set the AF-Time to 0 in the settings, then the minimum interval will be 0.3 secs. Please note, that most cameras won’t be able to shoot such short intervals.
Attention: Li-Ion battery is installed; camera connection cables are NOT included!
