It would require cutting up a shutter release cord ($10?) Last I looked gphoto2 didn't support pulling images from my camera model, so you may need a way to manually get the images.</div><div><br></div><div>As many have said, driving a USB webcam is pretty simple and probably your best bet. If you want to spend ~$50(?) get a Raspberry Pi, the camera attachment w/ extra long ribbon. That works great for me. The RPi3 has wifi, so just provide power and some scripting to take the image and push it somewhere for processing. The RPi3 is probably powerful enough to collect images and create periodic timelapse videos.</div><div><br></div><div>Depending on your bandwidth, you could have the RPi just livestream directly to youtube. It isn't a timelapse, but does let you keep an eye on something and can go back and review anything missed. I did that for a couple snow storms last April. Very simple scripting to set it all up.</div><div><br></div><div>-marc</div><div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div><div class="h5">On Wed, Jun 28, 2017 at 8:51 PM, Richard Kolb II <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:richard.kolb@gmail.com" target="_blank">richard.kolb@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br></div></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div><div class="h5"><div dir="ltr"><span><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">> Marc Nozell wired up a camera with a mechanical release, using Arduino</span><br style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">> and then converted the resulting .JPGs into videos:</span><br></div></span><div class="gmail_extra"><div><div class="m_-7108609568662978139m_5388890728075332505gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div style="font-size:small"><font face="georgia, serif"><br></font></div><div style="font-size:small"><font face="georgia, serif"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif;display:inline">I forgot he did that, I should look into it.</div></font></div><div style="font-size:small"><font face="georgia, serif"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif;display:inline"><br></div></font></div><div style="font-size:small"><font face="georgia, serif"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif;display:inline"></div><span class="m_-7108609568662978139HOEnZb"><font color="#888888">Richard Kolb II</font></span></font></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
