R5 Time-Lapse Gear Updates - What's Up with YouTube?

[JimFox]

And Ben, I have no flicker on mine at night, so no need for you to expect that it will.

There has to be a lockable simple Remote Release for the R5, that would be crazy if there wasn't one. Worst case scenerio, use the interval timer that's in camera with the 1 sec intervals.

Ben, just looking on Amazon, they are listing dozens of Remote Releases that will work with the R5, here is just one and it's only $10.

Amazon.com : Shutter Release Remote Switch Replaces RS-80N3, Wired Remote Shutter Release for Canon EOS 5D Mark IV III II R5 5D 5DS R 6D Mark II 6D 7D Mark II 50D 40D 30D 1DS Mark III II 5DM4 5DM3 5DM2 and More : Camera & Photo

Jim,

I think Ben is trying to avoid the flicker problem...

The flicker problem, as Jim observed, is a day issue esp as clouds move and change the lighting conditions. For night, you have to shoot a series of stills and do the TL in post production.

Also old remotes should work for R5. As Mike noted, the remote socket is in the front (I actually like that better than the side). Its the same socket (N3) and all functions should work incl. intervalometer (if the remote has that).

Jim, the issue here is flicker. No use to do intervals at night.

But, I did find a hidden port on the R5 that accepts my old remote so just for you I will try one full manual and locked remote. I fully expect it to have flicker.

This is a still that is exactly like the video, f2.8 1/8 second ISO6400 70mm

Ok guys, this video is a time interval (not in camera TL)

It was shot at ISO1600 5 second shutter f4. How do you explain the flicker?

Hey Ben, not sure how you did this link, but it actually opens a new page with my being logged out.

I think you need to start a totally new thread to discuss this Ben.

 

[Ben Egbert]

Jim it should take you to the post I titled "after dark". Its just a small distance down.

No need for a new post. We can finish the discussion there.

Here is my theory. There was a good amount of moonlight and since the clouds were moving the amount of light was changing.

 

[Ben Egbert]

That occurred to me. I was not able to see the moon from my deck at the time so no telling. I set the camera going an watch TV.
