Time-lapse Equipment
The Camtraptions ecosystem of products provides a comprehensive solution for optimizing time-lapse setups, particularly in remote or challenging environments. Designed for durability and flexibility, the system ensures cameras are well-protected and securely mounted, even in harsh conditions. Power management is streamlined with solutions that extend battery life and allow for easy access to change batteries without disturbing the camera’s position. The modular design offers versatility, making it easy to adapt the setup for different terrains and specific needs. This integrated approach ensures reliable, high-quality time-lapse captures over long periods, minimizing the need for intervention while maintaining optimal performance.
Camera Housing
The weather-sealed camera housing is ideal for long-term time-lapse setups due to its robust protection and convenience features. Its strong, moulded plastic enclosure with weather-proof seals shields the camera from rain and humidity, ensuring it withstands extended exposure to harsh conditions. The Stacking Tube System accommodates various lenses without compromising weatherproofing, while the back door with quick-release catches allows for easy access to adjust settings or replace batteries and memory cards. Dual tripod sockets enable secure mounting in any orientation, and a high-quality glass window ensures clear image capture. This durable, versatile design provides a reliable solution for capturing time-lapse sequences in remote environments. The Metal Camera Housing Cage can provide further mounting options and security where needed.
Flexible & Secure Mounts
The Jungle Mounts system is ideal for time-lapse setups in any environment. Its modular, flexible design allows for secure and stable mounting on uneven terrain, ensuring your camera remains fixed over long periods. Its lightweight yet strong aluminum and steel construction can support heavy equipment, making it suitable for long-term deployments. The tripod’s compatibility with a variety of accessories and camera housings, along with customizable options like leg extensions and pan-tilt heads, allows for precise camera placement and ensures consistent, high-quality time-lapse captures in urban or remote locations.
Eliminate Fogging & Condensation
Our heated windows can be essential for time-lapse photography in cold or damp environments. By preventing fogging and condensation, the heated window ensures the camera’s view remains clear, allowing for consistent, high-quality image capture. The heating system is programmable, allowing it to run during specific times when condensation is most likely, such as overnight, conserving power when heating isn’t needed. This automated functionality reduces the need for manual intervention, making it perfect for long-term time-lapse setups. Combined with the weather-sealed housing, the heated window ensures the camera stays protected while delivering crisp, uninterrupted visuals in challenging weather conditions.
Extend Battery Life
The External Battery System significantly extends the camera’s operational life. By replacing the camera’s standard battery with a dummy battery connected to a larger capacity NP-F battery, such as the NP-F970 (8,800mAh), the system can boost power by up to 8x compared to standard camera batteries. This reduces the need for frequent battery changes, allowing the time-lapse to run uninterrupted for longer periods. Its compatibility with a range of DSLR and mirrorless cameras, as well as fitting within the weather-sealed housing, ensures seamless integration into remote setups. The coiled cable design also offers flexibility in positioning, making it ideal for extended time-lapse projects in challenging environments.
Waterproof Cable System
The Camtraptions Waterproof Cable System and Battery Enclosure offer a practical solution for powering cameras in long-term time-lapse setups, especially when the camera is mounted in hard-to-reach locations. By storing the battery in a central, easily accessible Waterproof Battery Enclosure, you can change batteries without disturbing the camera’s position or composition. With the Waterproof Cable System, power and signals can be safely routed between the camera and other devices, such as intervalometers or solar panels, through fully sealed connections. This setup allows for efficient power management and reliable camera operation over extended periods, making it ideal for time-lapse photography in challenging environments.
