Hi Folks,
Think I am getting more interested in timelapse videos from stills. I have a Sony hx300, one of those automatic do everything cameras with 50x optical zoom. Started wondering how I could make it automatically take many photos at set intervals, which it does not do itself. Had a look at Amazon and Aliexpress, my favorite China seller. I finally did order a timer for my camera from China at a cost of about $17 and no mailing charges. Here is a description and photo of the timer. Of course you have to have a suitable compatible camera, but there are lots of timers on the market.
