Brinno TLC200 Time Lapse Camera 3.7 cm (1.4 Inch) LCD Display, 1280 x 720 pixels/SD Card Slot Black

Product Information

The HDR sensor improves high contrast scenes and is great for indoor or outdoor work (with the ATH 120 housing).

The settings available for adjusting images include exposure compensation, white balance, sharpness, contrast and saturation, with an HDR option to increase detail when required, so what’s available is limited. The aeronautical aluminium alloy clamp is small and portable while still maintains a great clamping power with great load capacity increases its convenience for operation. There’s no remote or Wi-Fi control, so you need easy access to the camera to change settings or batteries. Time-lapses allow you to compress the beauty of hours, days even years of work into seconds of footage and there are numerous ways you can get started with this style of photography. The camera has a very comprehensive list of settings that you can customize from filming schedules to image settings, which I found to be quite intuitive.The new schedule function allows you to pick filming days and times so it only records during working hours.

However I feel that the instructions for use could be much clearer and could include more tips and suggestions for using it. I really do believe that being able to preview the footage on my larger screened mobile phone during recording would have allowed me to fix some of the settings like the lighting or interval period. The viewing screen on the rear makes placing the camera in very difficult as you can't see what the camera sees when you are placing it.It's made of tinted plastic, except for the clear lens section, so it’s best to adjust exposure with the rear door open. This has been great for time lapse capturing - more expensive than other camera like some of the trail camera but superior build. I clamped the camera to the edge of the window sill, pointed the camera at the plant and crossed my fingers.
