Nex 3-N timelapse

[Guest]

So i have a few questions in one, i know that there are multiple ways to get a timelaps on a Nex 3-N but what is the cheapest way? Is there a WiFi dongle so I can do it with my smartphone or maybe even some kind of it receiver module so I can hack/ make a remote...

Something like this would be your best option.  IR remotes would require line of sight, and wireless remotes that use radio frequencies could suffer from signal interference.

 

This is a timer remote that would plug into your camera's control port.

This is just one example model, do a bit of research online for "Timer remotes for Sony XXX camera" to make sure it is compatible.

 

 

PS: if you have any questions about doing time-lapse, you can ask me.  I'm sort of a time-lapse expert.

but couldn't I use something like: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00KWXK6CC/ref=pd_aw_sim_421_16?ie=UTF8&dpID=41IfjqNC6WL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL115_SR115%2C115_&refRID=0BN270BQQPMB4W2BTYAS and use a cheaper shutter?

I don't see why not, as long as you can find a timer remote that cable can be plugged into.

 

I personally use Phottix Nikos and Promote Controls, which uses interchangeable cables making them compatible with multiple camera systems.

With a compatible app, you should be able to. I would recommend something like Trigger Trap App.  They also sell compatible cables for a variety of cameras.

but that is $40 and my cable was $3, what is the difference?

I don't know, I believe the app is free, so check if it works with your cable.  OK I don't know what kind of apps Sony has on either the iOS or Android stores that are designed to be used with their cameras and have the time-lapse recording feature, but there might be some apps available.

Here's a time-lapse I did for my office sometime ago, over a period of 2 days.  I had to carefully mark the positioning of my camera and tripod because they couldn't be left out overnight. Later on I had to move it as the final stages of the assembly risked hitting the camera.

 

1 photo taken every 10 seconds, over a period totaling about 16 hours.  I have to check my files, but the shutter speed was around 1/60th - 1/100th of a second I believe.
