TLSi Features

The timelapse slider with intervalometer (TLSi) by Octotec Robotics is an easy-to-use, affordable, move-stop-shoot solution for both beginners and professionals.

Affordable.

The problem with timelapse motion control is that it is price prohibitive. Only high-end production companies and photographers can afford the equipment needed to capture stunning, motion-controlled timelapse videos. The goal of Octotec Robotics, was to create a move-stop-shoot slider within reach of every photographer. The TLSi by Octotec Robotics was born!

Demo

Advanced.

Don't let the price tag fool you! The TLSi was built to satisfy even the most demanding professional photographers. During our extended test phase, we gave the TLSi to several experienced timelapse artists and we were all pleased with the results. The photographers loved the TLSi's performace and we loved the videos that they created. Want more proof? Watch these stunning timelapse videos and see for yourself.

How it Works

Extremely Easy-to-Use Interface -- Set-up to Motion Timelapse Capture in 30 Seconds.

  • 1. Set Interval

    Much like using a standard intervalometer, set the interval slightly longer than your exposure time (shutter speed). For example, if you are shooting half-second frames, set the interval at 1 second. If you are shooting stars at a long 25 second exposure, set the TLSi interval to 30 seconds. The TSLi's intelli-movement system, will automatically pad the interval around slider movements, so your camera is writing as the slider carriage is moving.

  • 2. Set Distance

    This setting adjusts the distance the slider carriage travels before stopping to take the next shot. The TLSi can make slight movements (as short as 1mm) or longer jumps, up to 5cm. Keep in mind, longer movements mean less room to capture images. Most movements are between 1mm and 1.5cm, depending on the subject or scene.

  • 3. Add Delay (Optional)

    There are some circumstances where a timelapse artist would like to add an additional time delay to the move-stop-capture method (for example, shooting across multiple days or weeks). The TLSi is fully equipped to handle long-term timelapse projects, just use the "Add Delay" function before starting the capture sequence. An AC/DC wall adapter is available to avoid potential battery failure during a longer period of time.

  • 4. Start Capture!

    That's it! Sit back and enjoy the scenery while the TLSi by Octotec Robotics goes to work. Each time the TLSi fires the shutter, it updates the capture count on the display. A quick calculation (total shots captured divided by 30 frames per second) gives the photographer a continual estimate of video length.
