Panning Timelapse Test (Right click and save as)

Excuse the quality and composite, terrible haha. I was pretty keen to have a play and this was the first timelapse I’ve pushed out with the new moving head. Due to it being the first time I was a little unsure if it would work so I didn’t bother with a scene or anything, just used a open area (my backyard) to run a test timelapse. I’ve had to delay using the panning head for a while as the interval remote was delayed and finally arrived so I could finally test out my panning head (see here). The weather isn’t much at the moment with the sky being grey so any timelapse would be quite boring with their being minimal interesting cloud about. But am quite eager to give the panning a go next weekend and try get something so stay tuned.

I would be really grateful if anyone could recommend a video website other then youtube or google video which doesn’t rape the quality of the video? Thanks!

I really love timelapse photography and wanted to progress further by getting a motorised panning head but was deterred thinking it would cost big bucks. Turns out you can get a package for moderately cheap ($160usd inc shipping to Australia) and all left is needed is 8 batteries (outch) and a metal bracket head made to suit. I’ve included below a video showing the head in use and also where you can purchase it. Wish my camera remote replacement would arrive already!

Sorry about the quality, whenever I encoded it nicely it would be like a million megabytes.
