How to Make a Cheap and Easy Ikea Time Lapse Panning Unit Part 3

[jaakkoohable]

Thanks for the howto. Cheers!

BRILLIANT!

[MrT1N0123]

you should sell these

[Getawaymoments]

@MrT1N0123 Yes I should, or rather I should have. I made the first unit in 2008 for work and play and a buddy suggested making the egg timer DIY. I should have kept it to myself and tried selling it. Unfortunately, some folks saw my original video and copied it and are selling them today. It sucks, but what can you do? The internet is full of thieves, if you have a good original idea, DON'T put it up on the web.

[MrT1N0123]

@Getawaymoments yah i saw on ebay someone was selling them and i message them and asked if they were you also they were selling them for 50$ you should be the one getting the money

[Getawaymoments]

@MrT1N0123 Well at this point the best thing I can do is show people that you can make one on your own for much less ..... and it will be better quality. One product that is out there is just cheap with plastic threads. Check any of these folks out and see the "videos" they have made, you can look through my channel and see my progression, I just wish I could post my work lapses from early 2008. Very cool and nobody was doing it at the time.

hey after watching this i went to ikea and i bought the one with the flat surface, it's perfect for the gopro, just a little bit heavy but still ok ;D

[HDG3N3RATION]

GREAT !!

[drmargaret]

wow! what a great idea and so simple. Maybe people will see more in life now!

[fredmeebley]

great idea thanks for sharing

[itsbigrob]

I saw you vid last week & just completed my ordning rig. Thank you for the great idea

[Getawaymoments]

@itsbigrob No problem have fun with it, send me a link when you get a great lapse.

[RedSpectrumPictures]

Thanks for sharing this amazing idea, I might have to go down to a pound shop and see if I can do this :)

[itsbigrob]

Great idea. Thanks

[sabrefayne]

With the addition of a nice little alarm to let you know it has finished :P

[johnballs]

i got the metal timer and it works perfect. good flat base to mount the sticky tape and camera base. thanks much for a great idea!

[Getawaymoments]

@johnballs No problem, thanks for watching.

[a1930ford]

Thanks for the well done step-by-step guide. I had made serveral Mainstay units and they are not as easy to make up as these are. I like the metal one shown and I will also make a few from the plastic ones at Ikea. I like being able to use the flat camera mounts or even the tripod mounts from the GoPro on the metal timer.

[Rashnak66]

thx for the great idea, I got my Ikea timer and will try it this weekend

[Getawaymoments]

@Rashnak66 Good luck and have fun.

[JSGeo93]

Cheers for the video, I appreciate it.

[FFAnamoly]

wow...



[mestizolove]

The metal timer works great with super-light cameras since it cannot take much weight. I used it with my regular HD camcorder and the timer would stop due to the weight. ....just my 2 cents.

[Getawaymoments]

@mestizolove Which HD camera? Most compact cameras have no problem. But yes, these kichen timers have a limited ability, gopros and point and shoots work great.

[waltimo]

Brilliant! I have the all metal one already!

[CreatePixel]

Whats on the back of your go pro at 2:04?

[Getawaymoments]

@CreatePixel Velcro, I made a home-made flotation device that attaches to the back, the new gopro floaty is much better then my homegrown attempt. ..... anything is worth a try

[GlobalCop]

I love the fancy editing bits at the end of the video, you got talent sir!

[Wetfins]

Heading to Sydney, Australia Ikea. Planning on getting this time and the ordining model too.

[Wetfins]

Thanks, I'm going to ikea tomorrow just to get one of these.

[Getawaymoments]

@Wetfins I hope you find one, I went to my Ikea last night and they were sold out. oops!

[raoul4]

nice production value. looks like you have a nice cam, skills and patience :)

[Getawaymoments]

@raoul4 Thanks.

[Getawaymoments]

@raoul4 Thanks.

[minopino77]

Thanks for making this! I went around to a few hardware stores and none of them carry the specific bushing that you used. Any recommendations? Thanks again!

[Getawaymoments]

@minopino77 Try a full service camera store, mine keeps them behind the counter. If not you can get them from B&H. They are a buck or two. Sometimes you can find them in an old tripod or photo gear, re-purpose!

[haloora]

AMAZING THX YOU !!!

[DhasseLOL]

Ordning=Order in swedish! :p

[Getawaymoments]

@DhasseLOL Yes!

[WeLoveToSurf]

Thanks so much dude! I got the exact same timer in Ikea in Northern Ireland! Nice video work at the end!

[Canon1dm4]

Nice...I am looking forward to the underwater test.

[labso00]
