Cyclapse Classic
Product Guide - Revision B
The USB Extension option is designed to automatically wake a camera that is asleep between time-lapse pictures when you connect
the end of the cable to a computer. When the camera is awake, it will recognize that it is attached to a computer USB port, and you
can then download and subsequently erase the images from the camera memory card. Once disconnected from the USB port of the
computer, the camera will then again respond to the DigiSnap schedule.
Network Options
For the last few years, Harbortronics has offered network connection options in the Harbortronics Time-Lapse Package, based on the
EyeFi Pro X2 WiFi memory card. This card has been discontinued, and no other suitable alternative has yet been found to
automatically transfer images to an arbitrary network location and delete the images from the memory card. While designs are in
place to support the Pro X2 card with WiFi, LAN, and Cellular networking in the Cyclapse Classic, these options are not currently
listed here, but may be available. We will update our hardware designs and documents if we find another solution for these often
requested options.
Housing and related Mounts
The Cyclapse is a purpose-designed and manufactured housing, having an
aluminum base and molded fiberglass lid. A gasket in the lid makes the unit
airtight and water tight, and stainless steel hardware further eliminate any
concern for corrosion. The housing is a perfect size to accommodate almost
any format digital camera, from small micro 4/3 cameras, to relatively small
APS-C sensor SLR camera, 35mm full-frame SLR, and even some medium
format cameras! The Cyclapse will accept much larger cameras and longer
lenses than the legacy Harbortronics 'Time-Lapse Package, while maintaining
a very compact size. Unlike plastic housings, you may successfully modify,
weld to, repair and paint this enclosure if you want to camouflage it in the
field or have other custom needs.
The window is sealed and is made from borosilicate glass, using anti-
reflective coating on the inside to reduce any possible interior light
reflections into the lens. The outside surface of the window is not coated,
preventing any optical issue with gradual coating erosion in the elements or
concerns for cleaning.
