inGearX 3.1415 9265 join:2000-06-11 New York	help me find an IR remote with an interval timer... good day, so I have a Nikon D60 and I want to make a time-lapse - so the camera needs to take pictures on it's own say every 10 seconds... D60 doesn't have an internal interval timer (do not know why ... easy feature ... ) so I am not sure on a possible workaround ... one that I found is to get this device "gentLED-AUTO" »www.kapshop.com/product_info.php···ts_id=88 that will send the signal every x seconds via IR ... but it's bloody $55 USD shipped (I ordered it, but no ETA...) so I can not believe there is no IR remote ... that can do this ... because a regular IR remote for D60 it is just $7 - I imagine there must be some IR remote (universal one/learning one) that can send the same signal every x seconds ... and will probably have other features/uses ... and cheaper ... I think I just have not found it ... or I lack info ... maybe someone has some ideas ... maybe someone knows of such an IR remote that can do this? or any other way ... thank you....

If you are behind the camera, they will not work. The wired units are the best, as they are super cheap and work great. I have bought them off ebay for as little as $15 and are fantastic little units. If you want to go more expensive, then the wireless (radio) units are the way to go.

rcroning D700 Rocks Premium join:2005-05-21 Winnipeg, MB	reply to inGearX You probably also have the option of using Nikon's Camera Control software but that would mean having a laptop/notebook with you everywhere. I guess wired or radio units are out because the D60 does not have a jack input for those. The GentLed Auto is about the only thing left.......unless you know someone who can hook up a wired intervalometer to an ML-L3 IR remote. I'm sure it can be done, just not sure how. Edit: HAHA!! It can be done. See here »taborstreetphotography.smugmug.c···lb=1&s=A

Depends on the camera some have front and back sensors (such as some of the Pentax's) --

mhhack Premium join:2005-03-29 kudos:3	reply to inGearX Here's some free software developed for the D60 (»www.d-software.co.za/index). Of course, as has been pointed out, you need a laptop to run it. If this software is combined with some decent macro software, you can have the timelapse start whenever you want, and have it end whenever as well. I've tried this kind of setup with my D70, and it works well.
