The LRT Pro Timer is a small and light intervalometer with a build-in Li-Ion Battery that can be charged via USB and holds a charge up to 20 hrs. He designed it with the needs of professional timelapse photographers and ambitious amateurs in mind. It is "Made in Germany" and was developed by Gunther Wegner of LR Timelapse, one of the pioneers of timelapse photography. Thanks for reading! Check out my new free e-book below.The LRTimelapse Pro Timer 3 is one of the most advanced and flexible camera intervalometers. It is pricey but it is – in my opinion – the best timelapse remote out there because it is made specifically to solve a select few issues you encounter when shooting high end timelapse photography. ![]() The LRTimelapse Pro Remote 2.5 is a great product. The back of the LRTimelapse Pro Timer 2.5 Conclusion Granted, it’s a very nice OLED screen, however I have to squint to read some of the information on the screen. This does make it very light weight though! The device feels fragile, and I’m not sure how well it would deal with very humid or wet conditions. Heck, even I barely used it on my recent Utah trip even though I had it with me! I can’t think of too many people that would use this remote to its fullest potential. That being said, it is an extremely niche product for a relatively small market. ![]() What I dont like about the LRTimelapse Pro Timer 2.5 Dual hot shoe mount and two eyelets.Īs we say in Dutch: it’s not always rose scents and moon shine (don’t ask), let’s talk about the things I don’t like as much about this remote. Several mounting options feature on the LRTimelapse Pro Timer 2.5. The other side of the LRTimelapse Pro Timer 2.5 has a dual 2.5mm TRS jack connection and micro USB charging port. The remote can also be powered via an external battery. Built in Li-ion battery that works down to -20C / -4F (apparently it might go even lower).You could also use the second port as a slave trigger for motion control devices such as the Kessler Crane Second Shooter or Dynamic Perception motion control system. As the remote has two ports you can shoot with two cameras at the same time.The remote has multiple mounting options (two hot shoe mounts and two eyelets).You can use the screen as a mini flash light to light up your foreground.You can completely turn off the screen so there’s no light pollution leaking into your frame.It has a dedicated astro Bulb mode for exposures longer than 30 seconds (great for astrophotography and star trails).You can store your own shooting presets in the remote's memory.Easy to operate with a single, large knob.You can adjust your interval as you are shooting, this is extremely useful when shooting holy grail shots! Most remotes only allow you to define the interval in 1 second steps. Universal connection for nearly any camera using a 2.5mm TRS jack (just make sure you buy the right cable to connect to your camera). ![]() Let us have a look at some of the features that make the Pro Timer such a great timelapse remote. The side of the LRTimelapse Pro Timer 2.5 has a power switch, eyelet and a single large turning knob. The front of the LRTimelapse Pro Timer 2.5 featuring an OLED screen. This is useful to check your exposure, change your settings etc. This means you get more time to operate your camera in between photos. (Gunther explained to me that if the remote was to send only the trigger signal that mirrorless cameras wouldn't get triggered at all.) Courtesy of The LRTimelapse Pro Timer 2.5 does send an AutoFocus signal to the camera, however it is extremely short (the minimum length in time the camera needs before it gets triggered). Graphic displaying dark time with and without the LRTimelapse Pro Timer. ![]() The shorter the dark time, the less time we have to review camera settings. This increases the dark time (dark time = the interval time minus the exposure time), which is the opposite of what we want. Switching your lens to Manual Focus does not fix this issue. The camera is anticipating a photo to be taken and certain functions get disabled. That AF signal actually slows down your camera. The problem is, timelapse doesn't require an AF signal. The first signal is an AutoFocus signal, the second signal is the triggering signal. The biggest of many issues with these remotes is that they send two separate signals to the camera. This might sound strange but all of these timelapse remotes are actually not great for timelapse. ![]()
