Cruised the W&E last month, despite all the doom and gloom we heard (and read) we enjoyed it. Occasionally had to go into neutral then reverse but weedhatch clear at the end of the day.

Thanks for posting. If I may make a suggestion, it is just a little too fast to be pleasant to watch, you can’t really see what is passing. I recently got an AKASO camera and my first attempts were too fast, when I slowed it down a bit (shorter time laps interval) it was much better.

I brought the SJCAM (far eastern copy of a GoPro) years ago and use the 5 second timelapse option. Lots of other videos on my YouTube page ..how sad am I. The quality is pretty good direct from the camera but YouTube compresses it quite a lot. As for speed...yes it is too fast to watch but YouTube allows you to change playback speed, bottom right of screen on PC's I think, you can also speed it up 😉 If course a slowed down upload would be a larger file and perhaps could be compressed even more. I did put a few similar videos on Vimeo, which is higher quality, but YouTube is much easier. I impressed myself with only forgetting once to start the filming over a 5 week period, I'll try to remember on our trip from Longwood down to Worcester from tomorrow (via Coombswood, Stourport & Droitwich canal.

I did a time-lapse videos of the BCN Challenge over a few years, I used a very simple method with a cheap webcam connected to a laptop, and the laptop taking an image every 5 seconds.  Post the event I uses movie maker to turn the images into a video.  This is an example

I used an old iPhone running a time lapse app to do this one. As has been said, you need to mess about to get the intervals right.
