Really enjoy your videos mate , I am in the UK , I splurged on used DSLR and telescope setup a few years back but the light pollution , weather and lack of free time meant I didn't use the equipment as much as I should have . The power of smart phones now is incredible, I own a pixel 8 pro and it's so satisfying and simple to scratch the itch without the massive investment. I don't miss polar alignment, dealing with condensation, clouds , rain and the multitude of cables and hardware involved.
Yoo, instead of slowly scrolling up to select photos, you can start selection and then while holding finger on last selected photo, tap upper part of the screen (for instant scroll up action in ios), it'll get you up along with selecting all the photos
Hi Denis, can you explain this method again, I tried to follow it but didn’t get how to do it. Start selection, while holding finger on the last selection… tap upper part of the screen (this is the part I lost you).
I just received my Lumilapse this afternoon! It is already in use and I can not wait to see what my first capture looks like tomorrow morning! Thanks for the great tip and thanks to Dale!
Holy Lord this is exactly what I’ve been searching for so long man. I can’t believe that someone has finally released it for our iPhones. I have bought it and can’t wait to be able to use it. Many greetings from Germany Shane and thanks for this.
Great video, Dales device looks very good, will be investing in one for my Astro photos, thanks again Shane for you your efforts always informative - thanks!
Pretty nice. I’ve also been looking for something like this. I’m too lazy these days to design and make one myself, so I’m happy that he got off his *** to do it. So I also just ordered one.
Very neat. I think I need to pick one up as been trying to do this for a bit now. As far as I can tell you can make a shortcut with iOS shortcuts to make a quasi intervalometer but it won’t work taking night mode photos.
So at 1:30 point of your video I headed over to the link to purchase! Yay! Shame I couldn’t use Apple Pay because I missed the rest of your video purchasing through PayPal. But it is done! Now we wait…
I just got mine and have been messing around a bit. Have you, or is there any need to set iphone cam app to manual focus, aperture, and/or shutter? Have you used any other camera or star trail/timelapse apps, such as astroshader or nightcap?
Hi Shayne, big fan of your work and this channel. This seems like an amazing product, so much so that i ordered one even before the video was over c",) That's a first for me. Usually i debate alot if i NEED an item or if i just WANT to need it :) Not this time! This looks like a no brainer :) Thank you Shayne and Dale
Hi, I did order this amazing product BUT, I just start thinking if it is working also with 10s or 3s exposure ? anyway, I love all your videos, it gave me a lot of grait ideas. Thanks ! 🤗
Very new to your channel and just wanna say wow! I absolutely love you work and love for photography and what you do, thank you and I'm so excited to give all this a try!! 💕
Crazy that it’s taken this long for someone to create an intervalometer for the iPhone, even though it’s something that should already be on it; I mean god it would be so much more useful than the stupid shutter button on the 16! BTW could you do the same stacking on Astro Shader too?
I know right! Its bloody nuts that this isnt in the camera app! Shutter button? I turned that off within 2 days. Astro shader will do this, but nowhere near as good as this. Its more for 100% sky images.
You can do it on Pixel too mate There is an app that will do it. The Intervalometer app. I have done videos in the past. The issue will be stacking to make a movie. There is no simple way with Android that I can think of.
Is it easy to find dark skies without light pollution in Oz? I have to drive for hours in the UK to get anywhere remotely good, then there's a very high chance of just seeing full cloud cover. I would love to be able to take shots like this, nice work.
Thanks for the video on this new tool. I’ve ordered mine today! Question: Night mode on my iPhone 14 Pro only allows up to 10 sec exposures. How do you get yours to run at 30 seconds?
Depends on darkness, if there is light or light pollution it will change accordingly. And you have to mount your phone on tripod or something that will hold your phone otherwise it will not go beyond 10 sec
Aren't there apps for the iPhone that do the same sort of thing? Taking a photo every so many seconds I mean? I may be wrong but could have sworn I'd come across some not long ago?
Nope, well not like this. There are intervalometers on some photog apps, but only 1-2 seconds. Even Longer did it a while ago to 30 seconds, but the quality is not quite there with the end resulting images. Has to do with what Apple lets the developers have access to in the camera.
@@ShayneMostyn I've just looked in the App Store and there are a few in there that allow long times. One even goes longer than 30 seconds. Admittedly that one doesn't go into night mode so no idea what the results would be like but I've seen a few in there which definitely go up to 30 seconds. Might be some apps are only available in some territories as I know I had an app on my iPhone 12 Pro Max which when I updated to the iPhone 16 Pro Max last week it wouldn't download as said it was only in the US now 🙁 Oh and I did post on your video about the problems you've been having about the photos and the weird blue blotches so you may have seen it already but no problems here with this phone on any lens. All come out perfectly black. I think they'll need to take every hundredth phone or something off the line as soon as it's made and then send them to different parts of the world as I'm wondering if it has anything to do with the supply chain? Scanning them or something like that. Hopefully if they've got your phone back though they'll be able to figure out what's going on with them though.
Nice product, so when do you think Apple will include that type of functionality in the iPhones like Samsung has with their Hyperlapse mode that is already on theirs? I’m been having a blast with my S23 Ultra.
I doubt they will. The hyperlapse on the Samsung is great, but not the same. This can be done with the intervalometer app on the androids though. But the stacking into a video is harder to do.
oh, extra info. I have an old 12 pro iPhone I use with my lumilapse since I leave it out for hours and hours in somewhat public places. So Raw or JPEG on my 12 pro?
Give it a go with JPEG first. IT will take less room on your device. If you have plenty of room and you want to edit them images prior to star stacker, then shoot RAW.
Thanks Shayne. I’ve just purchased both the Lumilapse and the Star Tracker app. I want to see if the app can make a timelapse out of the 900 plus daytime photos I’ve taken of Mt Taranaki from my truck everyday of my freight run (not exactly the same spot everyday but close so not expecting miracles🙂).
@@ShayneMostyn it does work but my photos were taken out of my truck windscreen so they don’t exactly line up to stack properly. Maybe I need to fix a camera somewhere and make sure the settings don’t change for another 954 days to get back to where I am now ha ha!
Interesting device, too bad it's not available for Android 😢 I wanted to ask if you are aware of the possibility of astrophography with Vivo x200 pro, thanks.
@ShayneMostyn What is the equivalent solution on Samsung device, and which app is suggested for stacking and time lapse?? Don't forget about your family who don't use iPhone 😅
Yes, pixel phones shoot at 4.16 minutes. You also dont need one for the Pixel There is an app that will do it. The Intervalometer app. I have done videos in the past. The issue will be stacking to make a movie. There is no simple way with Android that I can think of.

Another option is to scroll with a different finger while it’s selecting photos.

Hey there, this device is only pressing the shutter button via bluetooth, right? but why can't this be done with a night shooting app?
Go cubs go!
Thank you for your great videos.
Does the Lumilapse can take night to day asteo timalapse?
It fires every 34 seconds. So yes, it could do it I think
Impressive work by both Dale and you.
Dale made it, I just tested it. He did great
I’ve reached out to Dale, I think I can help take make this even better! Thanks for the video Shayne!
Love your video editing.
bloody legend Shayne! Love this, have ordered, let's see how it copes with the UK, and in particular London light pollution!??
As long as you can get 30 second night shots, this will work

Yes, it allows 30 second photo (3x10sec) and no other app can do that. Much better results.

No, not yet. Im not using it for any photography atm. This was done and tested (by me) with the 15PM. Its still being investigated by apple.
Can this not be done with an app instead? Why do we need external hardware to have a Timelapse taken?
No, at least not this quality. The apps that exist dont come near what the native camera app can achieve for astro.
