Hahnel Captur Timer Kit

£79/$92 www.hahnel.ie

This remote is all about time lapse shooting. You can shoot a sequence up to 100 hours long, split down to 1s increments, and there’s a secondary timer that’ll repeat the first sequence, also with controllable frequency. Alternatively, the Captur can be used as a remote release, with the 2.4GHZ wireless connection giving a range up to 100m.

The remote communicates via a separate hot-shoe mounted receiver unit which in turn connects via a sync cable. It may be a bit a bit bigger but no other device is required, and the simple radio frequency connection works with no prior setup.

You will need to spend some time studying the instructions, as the pared-down controls and basic screen info result in a cryptic interface that takes practice to master.
