PRO Timer 3 Camera Intervalometer for Time Lapse and Astro Photography

Great product and the customer service and information videos from Gunther, the owner, online is very helpful.

First of all, the LRT Pro Timer 3 is an intervalometer that just works, giving you a lot of functionalities and flexibility as stated in its description. The usage and handling is really easy and intuitive, supported by a good documentation, the LRTimelapse forum and Gunther Wegner, the founder of LRTimelapse.Using a Fuji X-T3 I recognized quickly that the built-in interval timer shooting mode has several shortcomings considering time lapse shootings:- Important information like the histogram and exposure parameters are not displayed when using the built-in functionality. This is definitely a problem when shooting in changing light conditions, for example during sunsets, daytime to nighttime transitions (holy grail) and so on.- Intervals can only be set in full second intervals and not lower than one second.- No ramp interval functionalityThe LRT Pro Timer 3 provides all these functionalities and even more. Critical parameters (autofocus time, release time, etc.) can be adjusted to the needs of your specific camera, if necessary.The fact that the LRT Pro Timer 3 gets connected to the camera by a standard remote release connection (2.5mm) leaves the USB C connection of the camera still available for other purposes, for example an external power supply for long shootings.Yes, the LRT Pro Timer is quite an expensive product, but it definitely delivers regarding functionality, easy usage and support.The only thing I miss, but maybe that’s just me, is a small (plastic) box to store and transport the LRT Pro Timer 3, considering its price and value.Also, but again it’s just me, I normally don’t use the LRT Pro Timer 3 mounted to the hot shoe of the camera, using a longer cable I simply place it on my camera bag beside the camera / tripod. That way I avoid potential movements and impacts to the camera when adjusting values like interval ramping.Overall a great little device, for me well worth the investment and definitely a recommendation.

The media could not be loaded. Easy to use with plenty of tutorials online. Attached is my first video. USB-c charging

Fairly easy to configure and is built very well. I am dinging it one star for the cost, this thing can't cost more than five or ten dollars to manufacture.

An essential piece of German engineering for photographers obsessive about accurate control of the camera shutter in time lapse and astrophotography use, a gift from someone who has clearly mastered the craft of recording the passage of time in landscape photography. Most features are intuitive, and the online manual fills in all the rest clearly. The device just plain works. With the correct cable - same as for use with a Star Adventurer 2i tracking head - it fires the Nikon D850 and D500 reliably for hours. Easy pause function allows me to pause shooting to change camera settings, reset camera WIFI for tablet or PC control connection, and resume shooting.Thank you Gunther Wegner for taking all you know about time lapse and incorporating it into a tiny, full-featured and effective solution for firing the shutter reliably over a few minutes or many hours!And GW must sell enough of these that Amazon stocked them locally and it was shipped very quickly.

I have a MoveShootMove astro rotator that will not auto trigger my Olympus EM1X/M1.2/M1/3 cameras. Using a typical wireless trigger with my cameras and my rotator would not sync up and there was lost images. As a test, with the LRT PRO Timer 3, setup was in minutes, and the LRT PRO Timer would rotate the astro rotator, and shot a photo, it would do this every 5 seconds which is the time I setup. Amazing product! I know it is expensive, however there is nothing on the market for my needs and to use my Olympus cameras. HIGHLY recommended.

This is a game changer!!

As advertised Made in Germany 🤔
