Nano flash and ex1 time-lapse tips?

Hey all,

As the title says I'm looking for some tips for using the nano with my ex1 filming time-lapse skies, traffic and nature. Any tips or experiences would be much appreciated. I just got my nano recently and am loving it so far.

Thanks!
 
I'm interested in that too, but haven't had time to experiment. Maybe when you get that figured out you can post a guide that can be made into a sticky. Dan Keaton from Convergent Design briefly discussed it in another thread recently.

"Over and under-cranking is performed in the nanoFlash.

This allows one to over and under-crank in the camera and in the nanoFlash separately, if you wish. One could over crank at one rate and the other could perform different over or under-cranking.


In the nanoFlash, one specifies the base frame rate for the over and under-cranking. Most users choose 1080p24 or 720p24, but any of the common frame rates are possible.


The Non-Linear Editor will see this base rate as the frame rate of your clips (files).


Then, one selects the "Crank Rate" from 1 to 60 for 720p or 1 to 30 for 1080. (The camera needs to send out progressive frames for over and under-cranking to work best.)


The way that the nanoFlash performs over and under-cranking, is to record just the correct number of frames, bypass all others, according to the "Crank Rate" you specified.


My explanations may make this appear complicated to the user, but it is very easy, and very useful.


Of the portable external recorders mentioned in this thread, I beleive that the nanoFlash is the only one that offers this feature."
