The sweet spot for home turntable enthusiasts on a budget seems to be the $200 mark. This might be the best of the bunch.
One can only imagine the sake-fueled club hopping that led to the development of the Seiko Frequency drum machine watch.
Pclix LT100 Time-lapse Photography Controller
By James Grahame
One of my favorite things about shooting Super 8 movies is that many S8 cameras include time-lapse controls so you can snap single frames with a variable delay. This lets you film "moving cloud" effects and accelerate other scenes at your whim and fancy.
The $139.95 Pclix LT100 makes it possible to add similar capabilities to a variety of modern digital cameras (it will also work with Super 8 movie cameras and film cameras equipped with an electrical 'contact' shutter release). In essence, photographers now have the ability to shoot incredibly high quality time-lapse movies using the full resolution of their modern DSLR cameras. The LT100 is an elegantly simple device that can run for a month straight on a single pair of alkaline AAA batteries. It offers 99 interval settings (ten of these can be user customized) and a bright red Instant Fire button.
A variety of control cables are available, starting at $12.95 for a generic contact switch closure cable and ranging up to $39.95 for a Canon N-3 infrared controller (which also allows the Pclix to function as a wireless remote control).
