First Nights with the eMotimo TB3

[Phil Hart]

As usual, my little projects take quite awhile to finish, but I have finally posted a review of the eMotimo TB3 timelapse motion control. The punch line is that this is a unit I highly recommend!

Now I just need to get through the moving house mayhem and then for Fred to finish MKII of his SteamPunk timelapse exposure controller which I hope to interface with the TB3.. sometime next year!

Nice review but way out of price range the Merlin head can still do the moves to make a time lapse and if you want to use external control you can with gbtimelapse and have smooth transition from day to night a lot cheaper if you want to try the system out on a dynamic perception I have another spare system you can try it on.

Is the Merlin head still available? I can't find any active links?

I find the eMotimo controller much more fun and faster to use than the MX controller from DP which can be quite tedious.

Yes it is look at papywizard

Or

http://www.pulsar-optical.co.uk/prod/merlin/starter-scope/refractor/merlindeluxe.html

It is very easy and when programmed can do time lapse ,pano,video slew from programmed a go b in a nice smooth motion , astro, and will work with wifi and Bluetooth .
Bluetooth with PapyWizard on a Nokia 810 or a pc easily the Merlin/ Orion Teletrack can do so much.

Maybe I'm tired.. I can see review links on papywizard.org (http://www.papywizard.org/) (some of which don't work) but nothing to a current retail site?
