I dig your enthusiasm! I bought a slider and found this vid in my search for how to use one. After watching it, I returned that slider and ordered the Edelkrone. Lucky for me they're phasing out the V2 so I got it on sale. Thanks for this vid, and the other ones. I'm going through them as fast as I can.
Only ONE thing missing from Edelkrone (and simple to implement): sun/moon/star tracking. Can be done with an app upgrade. That would be a killer upgrade for astrophotography. IMAGINE the roll presented here fixed to the stars.
Simply fabulous, Alyn! You really do keep on raising the bar... this time the sliding, tilting, panning one :D Can't wait to have a go at time-lapse as the nights get darker, cheers!
Great video - the ability to use video mode to preview the final timelapse is a brilliant feature. Good to know too that the EdelKrone devices can withstand a knock or two as well.
Wonderful system and explanation, if not a bit laid back about it. You didn't quite explain how you managed the "holy grail" day to night transition. Or how the system sync with shutter actuation.
I love your timelapse photos. I have one from 1968 of a thunderstorm with lightning and a meteor shower at 03:00 AM in the month of August. The camera that was used Canon camera 35mm using slide color chrome.
That looks like a great piece of kit. like you say,the footage is very cinematic,reminded me of Robert Freck(?)'s work on Koyannisquatsi. I think he ended up building his own panavision cameras coz the time it took to get the perfect time lapse sequence made hire costs mental. Amazing how far tech has come in just the last thirty years. Love the channel. Cheers from Scotland.
This is great. I use the head 1 for my video work regularly especially for single person interviews with 2 cameras. It's like having a second camera person .
I like how ingenious this product is, especially with the slider, but unfortunately once you see the jitters in the footage, you can unsee it. A lot of the time lapse footage has slight stutters ever second or 2 and other users have noticed this with their video footage as well. I thought it would be less noticeable on your wide angle time lapses, but it's still pretty visible. That's a bummer... I really wanted something compact and simplistic like this.
I was looking at the Syrp Genie 2 pan/tilt and Genie 2 linear, but their equipment isn't serviceable. I can't consider dropping 3K on something that can't be fixed.
BEST. INTRO. EVER. LMFAO! I've been stressing out, getting ready to film a total solar eclipse in april... this randomly popped into my feed, at a time when I needed to laugh most. Thanks bro and clear skies! ROFL
Hi Alyn, superb timelapses! Have you used the system since this video? Didnt see the application in any other video or under gear recommendations on your website. Thanks,!
You should get an iOptron Star-adventurer, it is an equatorial camera mount that allows you to get long exposures on wide field things like constellations and even the milkyway. I think it would be cool to see shots of Orions gas.
Great video as always. I'm still using the Move-shoot-move head and I bet it would work as a pan and/or tilt unit on that slider. Soon we'll need sherpa's to haul our gear for us.
Wow that is so cool, be so awesum to have that, & you are such a great teacher showing how it goes together & how it operates, cheers for that, i guess you would worry about the battery going flat during the time lapse at 300 shots every 22 secs... at least i know what to dream and wish for...i still have to get my canon dslr astro-kit yet, 2021 is the year
Are the heads heavy to carry, as the edelkrone slider bar itself?, Is it possible to set the begginning and the end of the timelapse manually, for more accuracy spot? Thx and very stunning time lapses you showed us. Good job
Really great. Been waiting for someone to do this review. This is the exact setup I have been looking into. Have you noticed any errors or bumps in the footage at all? Also once the time lapse is set and running do you still need your phone connected or can you walk away and come back later?
The motion is smooth, only one time there was a bump and it was because my tripod column slipped a little! And no you can disconnect your phone and leave it running, you can even use the same phone to go setup timelapses with other edelkrone gear somewhere else at the same time
Hey Alyn, I am so stunned after I saw this video. Unbelieveable views, nice environment and I want to compliment your way of advertisement.17 minutes full of joy and information and it made me thinking again that i have to start astrophotography. What are your favorite lenses for astrophotography, I already own an A7 III? The 16-35mm 2.8 from sony is too expensive for me at the moment and the 24mm 1.4 is sold out everywhere :P . Looking forward to your next video! :)
Where do i find those pointy plants in Tenerife? I will go there in two days and i want to do a timelapse movie about Tenerife including the Milky Way. It is nice to have the plants as a foreground.
Amazing work, as always. A question does the app/your phone need to be connected to the system all the time while it’s taking images? Example, if you left it do you need to leave your phone along side ?
You download the Edelkrone app to your phone, then fire it up on your phone. When you put the battery in the Edelkrone, it sounds a beep, then the two devices try to pair with one another. Once paired, you use your phone to program the Edelkrone gadget. Once you've set the program going, the Edelkrone remembers what it is supposed to do. You can then take your phone out of range (or even switch it off) and the Edelkrone will just carry out doing what you've told it. You can also take your phone back near the Edelkrone and re-pair with the Edelkrone. The phone takes up the values from the Edelkrone; and it then shows you how many of tyhe planned images have been taken and it shows you how long if left. I have found this very useful for night-time timelapses; as you can set the system going, then get back in the car for a while to get warm again...
Hi Alyn - Great video and channel, I have just subscribed. Couple of quick questions regarding the HeadONE.... would it survive rain showers outdoors? and is there a way of powering it for 12 hours+?
@@calebwhite681 If the camera only shoots compressed RAW you don't have a choice anyway. Check this video from Mike Smith for a comparison th-cam.com/video/euVGDd3S9U8/w-d-xo.html on the Sony A7III.
Will you pack it in, showing us more and more kit!! lol. This looks awesome. I suspect it will be quite expensive but for the quality of work you produce I'm sure you'll more than get your money back. Great video as always mate.
great video. i love doing timelapses and astro. These seem to add and extra dimension to the timelapse. Alyn if you could only have one which would you get? or which would you get first?
Thank you for your video again !! I really love astro photography but unfortunately in Ireland we don’t have so much clear night. But I got few good shot with the laowa 15 f2.0 and now I need to go into astro timelapse. The motion you are giving to the system is it related to the motion in the sky ? How can you find the sweet spot for it ?
Great video! The only problem that i have is that when i do long exposures like 20 seconds with the slider, my camera a6300 uses alot of time processing the image, which means i can only take 1 photo per minute when doing 20 sec exposure - when using the slider. But when i use the timelapse app on the camera there is no processing time on the app, it just goes off every 20 seconds which is how it should be. Can anyone help with a solution to that?
Amazing as always! :D But I noticed that some of your time lapses are stuttering, I had the same problem until I realized that the timelines in Premiere had different fps settings, maybe you made the same mistake as I did...
I’m curious how is the camera communicates with the slider and the pan head, so it maintains the 20sec exposure and moves within those 2 sec stops and goes to another exposure. Is there a cable that comes with the head that connects to the cameras?
I use the same setup for 3 months already. The slider bends down when the head passes the tripod, especially toward the engine side. Also, after each move it is shaking and even with 7 seconds between shots the output still needs stabilization. Did you find a workaround?
@@EmanuelRosenzweig_IL When I noticed the slider tilting after moving over the centre it was because my centre column of my tripod was jolting. After tightening that properly it didn't happen. Or use a tripod without a centre column. As for the shaking after shots, I don't get 7 seconds, but I always make sure that the movement between each shot is small to ensure smooth motion and no shaking.
@@AlynWallace Thank you very much for your fast reply. I will try a tripod without a center column! By the way, your master class yesterday with Photopills was awesome!!! Thank you so much for the tips and examples. You opened new ways for me to take my astrophotography to the next levels.
Great vid! at 6:08, how do you get the time lapse to continue after edelkrone motion finishes?? I use edelkrone and for me the time-lapse always stops when the motion stops. Are you using a separate intervalometer?
Was looking for something exactly like this. One question: can the slider stop moving when a long exposure is being taken? If not, does it not introduce some motion blur?

Unbelievable bit of kit that is Alyn. I nearly fell of my chair trying to follow the barrel roll timelapse.
Very clever stuff! Great work again Alyn.
😂
@@AlynWallace Hi Alyn..what kind of tripod head do u recommend for this setup? i have the sedelkrone motorised slider.
Wow! that illuminated cloud inversion time-lapse at the beginning was incredible!

Put your GoPro on a star tracker.......perfect!
tecnically you can set the speed on the slider, a little calculation will help to determine the counter speed.
Blows my mind, spectacular time lapses......
Simply fabulous, Alyn! You really do keep on raising the bar... this time the sliding, tilting, panning one :D Can't wait to have a go at time-lapse as the nights get darker, cheers!
That timelapse was so good that I had to rewatch.
Awesome video Alyn. Really shows off the ability of this new equipment to easily capture stunning time lapses. Appreciate the time you put in. Richard
Your timelapses were pretty special before Alyn, this kit really is going to take them up many levels I reckon. Great stuff.
Great video - the ability to use video mode to preview the final timelapse is a brilliant feature. Good to know too that the EdelKrone devices can withstand a knock or two as well.
Wonderful system and explanation, if not a bit laid back about it. You didn't quite explain how you managed the "holy grail" day to night transition. Or how the system sync with shutter actuation.

I have one from 1968 of a thunderstorm with lightning and a meteor shower at 03:00 AM in the month of August.
The camera that was used Canon camera 35mm using slide color chrome.
I will receive the Sigma 14mm tomorrow, glad to see that you are still using it.
I love watching these videos, always so relaxing, and the outcome is always amazing, keep it up!

Hey champ. Hope all is well. Would love to see a tutorial on how you did your intro of combining video with time-lapse
This is great. I use the head 1 for my video work regularly especially for single person interviews with 2 cameras. It's like having a second camera person .
Amazing work Alyn and if you are going to continue to use this gear, can see you taking your work to another level
I shall be indeed, need a welsh project :) thanks dude
Such cool gear and that time-lapse is so good

I really want the Syrp system as it seems more flexible. But after seeing this, I'll take a look at Edelkrone again.
Syrp just released new kit so you might be able to get the older stuff cheaper soon but it will have less features than this kit.
I was looking at the Syrp Genie 2 pan/tilt and Genie 2 linear, but their equipment isn't serviceable. I can't consider dropping 3K on something that can't be fixed.
@@kyle121378 - Serviceable by you or them? Is it like Apple, where you can only send it in?
I so need to get on one of your workshops Alyn!
Bit beyond my skill level but very interesting! Certainly creates a whole new level timelapse thats for sure 👍🏻
Excellent review. Looks like an innovative slider. I like compact! And running off E6 batteries. Great idea. Thanks!
Awesome man, looks a lot more compact than my Dynamic Perception setup, its solid but a r8 pain in ass to carry around
Please don’t change your intro! I love your intro so much!!!
Transports the viewer into a 3D alien landscape! Love a motion time-lapse!!

Does it sync with the shutter automatically or do you need to start both the motion system and camera timelapse at the same time? Looks great!
It fires the shutter for you
