Time-lapse photographer and founder of LRTimelapse, Gunther Wegner, has announced an upgraded version of his intervalometer, the LRTimelapse Pro Timer 3.5. <\/p>\n

Wegner describes the new intervalometer as the most powerful of its kind for astrophotography and time-lapse photography. It promises improved build quality and ease of use compared to its predecessors. <\/p>\n

\u201cI developed the LRTimelapse Pro Timer because I didn\u2019t want to make compromises with my own recordings. I need performance, flexibility, and reliability \u2014 no matter the conditions,\u201d Wegner explains. <\/p>\n

The LRTimelapse Pro 3.5 now has a full-surface glass pane on top, which not only looks sleeker but also offers improved resistance to splashes and light rain. It also moves from a 3D-printed chassis to an injection-molded one, which again improves the overall build quality. Wegner notes improved haptics and feedback. <\/p>\n

The intervalometer\u2019s charging electronics have been entirely redesigned. The device now recharges via USB-C, making it easier to use existing camera cables and USB-PD devices. <\/p>\n

\u201cMy goal has always been to build hardware by photographers for photographers,\u201d Wegner says. \u201cWith the LRTimelapse Pro Timer 3.5, I have implemented feedback from users who stand outside in all kinds of weather. It now not only feels more premium but also withstands the harsh conditions of expeditions even better.\u201d<\/p>\n

The LRTimelapse Pro 3.5 maintains the key features of its predecessor. It promises millisecond-accurate intervals without jitter, a sharp OLED, one-button operation that works when wearing gloves, interval ramping features for day-to-night transitions, and no reliance on external apps of any kind. <\/p>\n

The device uses a built-in Li-Ion battery for primary operation, while its real time clock, which enables scheduled timelapse shots, is battery-powered by a CR1220 coin cell. The timer\u2019s OLED screen can also be used as a flashlight to illuminate the foreground during astrophotography photos and timelapse sequences. <\/p>\n

The LRTimelapse Pro timer can be used with any camera with ports for release cables. As Wegner notes, \u201cNearly every DSLR and mirrorless camera\u201d offers a dedicated port for shutter release, including popular models from Canon, Fujifilm, Nikon, and more. Some compact cameras lack this port, though, so prospective buyers should double-check before purchase. LRTimelapse lists<\/a> cable release compatibility for many cameras on its website. <\/p>\n

Perhaps best of all, despite its improvements, the new timer is actually cheaper than before. The LRTimelapse Pro 3.5 is $199<\/a>, while its predecessor was $239 at launch. <\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t believe in artificially inflating prices,\u201d Wegner says. \u201cBy switching to the injection-molding process and improving conditions with our suppliers, we were able to optimize production costs. We are passing this advantage directly on to photographers.\u201d <\/p>\n
