Time Lapse Pan Motor (Kitchen Timer)

20130809-122229.jpg

 

I use TimeLapse software on my iPhone, and today I designed a pan system for it.

I used a Tesco kitchen timer from the Kipa mall. It turns 360 degrees in one hour.
The timer cost 2.5 USD here, and I removed the clock mechanism easily: just pull off the top of the egg, remove the bottom and take out the screw. That’s all.
I designed a base plate with a standard 1/4-inch tripod thread, so you can put it on any tripod. The camera holder is designed for the iPhone 4/4S. If you want to use it with an iPhone 5 (1-2 mm thinner), you need 1-2 mm of paper as a spacer, or some sponge or something similar.
It works like clockwork, because it is a clock 🙂
I shared my design on Thingiverse.
