One of the coolest gadgets we’ve seen featured is the Camalapse. The gadget is pretty much a egg timer and its shaped like one as well. The egg timer comes with a tripod and a screw where you attach your camera.
The device does a 360 degree rotation and if paired with your camera’s time-lapse feature can create an amazing 360 degree time-lapse for an hour. You can also stitch the time-lapse photos to create 369 degree panoramic photo.
The base it a bit tiny so it might have problems holding a DSLR or a large camera with heavy lens.
How much is the Camplapse? It can set you back around US$25 and you have the option of a ringing bell that signals the end of the cycle.
Here’s a product description by the company “Get cool b-roll footage by setting up your GoPro HD HERO or ContourHD1080p on the Camalapse and capture up to 360 degrees of footage over an hour.
Simply attach your GoPro HD HERO or Contour HD1080p to the top of the camalapse via a tripod adapter and either attach the camalapse to a tripod or set on a low/flat/stable surface. Point your camera where you would like the video to end and while firmly holding the bottom half of the camalapse, twist the top portion of the camalapse so that the camera is pointed towards your starting point. Click record and you are all set.
(tripod, camera and tripod adapter not included – shown in pictures for example only – see the compatible parts tab to purchase the appropriate adapter if needed)
Not tested with other cameras. Due to the weight/balance and location of the tripod mounts on various cameras, we can’t recommend the camalapse for other cameras. However, you might find that if your camera is small, lightweight and fairly center balanced, the camalapse may work for your particular camera.”
We like the idea of a seamless time-lapse so we might actually get one even its a bit pricy.
