    Time lapse camera recommendations?

    I want to get a decent time lapse camera to record 3d prints and laser engraving. I know nothing about cameras tho so can anyone recommend some that are pretty decent but not super expensive?

    I want to document ice melting without capturing hours of footage

    Pretty much the title, I’m doing some experiments that I’m trying to document. I want to capture the progression of the melting without just running a camera on timelapse until it’s all melted.

    Any recommendations? I’m open to a lot.

    Edit: for context I’m in art school haha

    A recent Timelapse I made. It spans from night to sunset.

    I made a new timelapse recently. I am experimenting with whether or not I should add music. I think it is better with music. I hope you enjoy it!

    Advice and Math Check, New to Timelapse

    I’m covering a span of 7hrs on some GoPro’s. Is my math correct? 7hrs is 420min 420/5min intervals is 84 frames. 84frames on a 24p timeline that’s 3.5secs of footage?

    Thanks.

    Did my Timelapse capture the ISS? Or is the dot in it something else?

    I noticed that at 1:47 there is a small dot and it seems like it could be the ISS
