Time lapse video of crabs

Post by Jess4400 » Wed Feb 22, 2017 5:58 pm

Okay, so my dad has a knock off GoPro with a waterproof plastic case and he's letting me use it for a time lapse video of my crabs. I'm super excited but the only downside is that the charge only lasts for 2 hours. I've made one time lapse video of the crabs already, but it took a picture every 30 seconds and went wayyyy to quickly. The video was only 3 seconds long. I had used the camera earlier, so maybe it was half-dead already. I'm going to try a picture every 5 or 10 seconds next. Wish me luck!

I would try every minute or so, as the crabs really don't do much in a 30 second period. Plus it might last longer too. (Can you charge it while its recording, some cameras still able to record when charging?)

That's true. I will try tomorrow to see if I can charge it while recording. Good idea! Thanks Image
