order of operations for holy grail milky way timelapse
This might be a newbie question, but then I am a newbie. When choosing the ramping order for a holy grail milky way time lapses I was thinking of: 0. Focus at infinity during daylight. 1. begin with a landscape-appropriate aperture, e.g. F8 or F5.6. 2. Set the limit aperture to that I would choose f...

Re: Power solutions for long time lapses
Just want to report some success with a $30 dummy battery with just a USB-C cable and a small 2-year old small-ish power bank from Anker. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08LNTPLCK https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B096TP4B1T I tested that this solution powered my Sony A7IV, my Sony A7RV, and my Sony A670...

Re: Power solutions for long time lapses
Thanks Otto. I think I am going to try something simple first with a cheap dummy battery and the power bank I already have. If that turns out to be a bust, I might well come back to your web site.
I appreciate the knowledge.

Pierre

Power solutions for long time lapses
Hi everyone, I use the unleashed on a Sony A7IV. Works great, but it drains the battery pretty quick. The unleashed occupies the USB C port that can power the camera.

Re: Unleashed does not trigger timelapse in bulb mode
Oliver, I want to confirm that the latest firmware update solves the issue. I am thrilled. Hoping for some clear nights to test on real stars as opposed to my home office.

Firmware update doom loop [solved with FW C3.3.1]
So excited tonight to upgrade the firmware to the unleashed so that I can finally use it for long exposures on my Sony A7IV. But I seem to have entered a firmware update doom loop and the unleashed appears not not be usable anymore, The update first seem like it was doing well, and then it stalled. ...
