Ultra Intervalometer Jogging Stroller Experiment

A screen shot of my camera using the CHDK camera hacks. Here is another shot of the startup of the CHDK on my camera.

The CHDK

I rigged up my Canon SD 800is to my daughter’s jogging stroller using my Flip Action Mount. I used the CHDK script Ultra Intervalometer. The script allows me to set a specific interval for the camera to take photos and how many to take. I took a bunch of photos with my camera and also geotagged them all automatically with my GiSTEQ PhotoTrackr. The photos can be seen on Flickr.

The Flip
Photo-A-Day #1428

Yesterday I received a package from UPS. That package contained a new little piece of tech. I decided to purchase the Flip Mino HD. This little video camera is so sweet. I got it because I had a little “stimulus package” money of my own and decided to use it to help the economy. Also I wanted something simple to use, to upload quick videos of Eva so her grandparents could see her doing fun things like Reading with Allison.

That was the 1st video I took with the flip. I’m looking forward to taking many more.

I also got to pick two “free” accessories when I bought the Flip. I got a grey neoprene case. I find it hard to remove the Flip from the case. It is a little too snug, plus if you use the wrist strap, and I’m going to use that, it doesn’t fit too well.

The other item is the Action mount. I am going to use that to strap the Flip to my bike. I haven’t read very good things about it and find that the gorillapod works much better to keep items stationary. I use the gorillapod to attach my waterproof video camera to the kayak, I’m going to test the Flip Action Mount and the gorillapod to see which works better to keep a camera stationary.
