Lightlapse

First off, The idea that an app can control full settings for a day to night or night to day time lapse, brilliant. Execution, not so much. The fact that the app AND phone have to be open and on the entire time the time-lapse is going is horrible. If I plan on doing a 3 hour timelapse my phone not only needs to be right next to the rhino and camera but display has to be on the entire time? My suggestion would be to have an option to turn off the live preview this might allow the phone to fall asleep and not disrupt the time-lapse. Also, it has controls for ISO, shutter and interval but anytime I change these it defaults back to where the app thinks it should be. I switch on “classic” mode and adjust interval to be say 4 seconds with a shutter speed of 1-2 seconds and the app rolls back to like 40 seconds. If I am trying to capture certain movements I don’t want 40 seconds in between each shot. This happens with most of the controls. Every time I slide something where I want it the app just rolls the adjustments back somewhere else. This has been the most frustrating part about this app. The RŌV motion app is amazing! I’ve been using that but trying to make live adjustments while the rhino is sliding is impossible this is where I was hoping this app would fit in but sadly it’s not. I hope with future updates these will be fixed otherwise I’ll look for other apps to control the camera.

I setup the app with the RŌV Pro for a nightlapse. It started fine and I walked away from it for the 2 hours it needed for the lapse. I should have checked on it more often... the app showed the dreaded “Uh Oh” message and the Rov didn’t move at all. I got a time lapse but no movement. I really dislike having to leave my phone on and near the device to use it. First impressions are not satisfying at this point. I will continue to test and update my review.

If you’re willing to sacrifice using your phone for a couple of hours and/or able to purchase a few external chargers for additional pwr sources and your camera is compatible...the app itself works GREAT!! It will let you set your parameters and will adjust the shutter and ISO when needed. I was VERY skeptical, but purchased anyways and it has exceeded my expectations already. For the price it’s worth the shot, but IMHO, it’s easier than qdslrdashbord.

Doesn’t work with the Nikon Z camera.

Screen app not compatible with iPhone SE. some set up numbers hide cause screen size. have to pay one more time if want to have on my iPad. Over all is amazing!
