• Important: The Movie Maker will automatically turn off when in speed "0", but not in speed 1-9.
• You can enable or disable the bounce-back function: On the D-Pad, hold “+” for 3 seconds. When the dot is flashing very fast it is disabled, slow flashing means is enabled. (When motor is idle, Dot off is disabled, Dot on is enabled).
• Use USB power for long time lapse shots. Some time lapse videos take longer than 2 hours. Keep the unit fully charged as you never know when inspiration strikes.
• Keep your camera secure and in sight at all times.
• Time Lapse shots are enhanced when the foreground is a static object and the background is moving with clouds, water or people. Visit our Facebook or YouTube pages for examples.
• The fold out legs are for non-flat surfaces and rarely used.

• When recording sound on speed 8 & 9, point the microphone away from the motor or use a separate sound recorder.

• Charging time is approximately 2 hours.

• Optimal performance is between 0-50 degrees Celsius. Below or above these temperatures may affect performance.
• Make sure the surface in front of your shot is smooth
• Work out the proper shooting angle in manual mode first before recording

• Use the blue 360 panorama mount come with Movie Maker/Movie Maker 2 set for super slow motion (1/5 speed compared with orange unit)
