Brinno Time Lapse camera

This little guy is an awesome travel companion. Brinno is a dedicated time-lapse camera and new to SA. My favourite camera is set into timer so you can time-lapse a panoramic shot – get the scene at the beach, a beautiful river bend or even pop it in the middle of your camp site for quirky travel memories.

This video shows a party time-lapse from the centre of the dinner table.

 

 

Prices haven’t been determined yet.

There are plenty to choose from too.
