We have to give credit to Tom Stokes, Phoenix AZ, for all that you see on this page. We truly appreciate that he is excited to share his beautiful video and still photo examples. Here is what Tom has to say about his ShutterBug Pro:
"Recently, I began using ShutterBug Pro's standalone mode to create time-lapse videos of cloud formations and sunsets. Until now, the intervalometer function required for time-lapse was only available on expensive DSLR cameras. With ShutterBug and QuickTime Pro, I can get the professional results with digital point-and-shoot cameras costing much less. In short, ShutterBug has made my hobbies possible."
Frankly, his time-lapse photography work is stunning. By setting up ShutterBug Pro to snap photos at timed intervals, his digital camera automatically acquires the photo sequences. He then uses QuickTime Pro to format them into a time compressed video. You must see this to fully appreciate the results.

Tom also takes spectacular still photos using ShutterBug and his remote control model airplane. He uses a small electric powered model that came from a hobby store. The model's handheld radio control transmitter also allows him to remotely activate the camera's shutter. Below are some photos that he has taken from his nifty little model.

Tom's setup consists of a Canon A620 digital still camera and a small R/C servo for pressing the shutter button (the servo plugs into ShutterBug). He handcrafted a nice wooden cradle that attaches with a rubber band. His clever servo mounting method can be used on other digital cameras too. If you don't have time to build a cradle like his then the alternate method of hot melt glue or double sided tape is fine for many installations.
