6.8 Video vs. timelapse mode (continued)
The main advantages of using the VR Drive to generate timelapse or video sequences are:
• 360°x180° full spherical field of view
• Fully automated process thanks to horizontal and vertical motors
• System flexibility with several hardware options allowing several camera motion types
• Very smooth and precise movements for a very wide speed range from very fast to very
slow motion
• Very strong motors capable of handling equipment up to 20 kg
• All sequences can be pre-programmed and edited very efficiently using the embedded VR
Drive software
• The sequence can also be repeated as many time as necessary to get the perfect result
• Every sequence can contain many intermediate points where specific duration,
acceleration, pause and image release frequency can be defined as described below
When creating a new video or time lapse program you will be guided by the wizard to
define the sequence to capture:
After defining the camera and lens information, select the
hardware type to be used.
Choose between:
• 360°: Regular VR Drive with additional L-Bracket
• Linear: VR Drive mounted on a linear rail
• Dolly: VR Drive mounted on a dolly
In case of timelapse program, select between 2 image release
modes:
• Seconds: images will be released according to a time interval
• Position: images will be released according to a distance or
angle interval
It will then be necessary to define the pause before and after
every image
