Go down to your local chemist and buy some zinc-air hearing aid cells of the correct physical size and use foil and a little tape to fit them into the cell holder. There is also a mail order bunch online in NSW where you can get them even cheaper and I also believe hearing aid batteries ...

Bruce:

Most intervalometers use a relay as the momentary contact of about 200 to 500 mS, as if you where pressing and releaseing a button.
This is connected to the camera release socket which is either a 2.5mm or 3.5mm phono type plug.
In the design I used I allowed for manual tripping the release ...

Bruce:

Do a search for "intervalometers" with the author being "coors" and you can read my post from last year with details of the intervalometer kit I used from a firm based out of Hong Kong.

A great plan but the first step would be to find a lab that will be willing to process Super 8 negative stocks in oz (at a fair price) and then pin down a high quality transfer house to enable the transfer into the digital format we all seem to work with.

Which canon is it? Is the camera in a private and secure location?

Canon 514 XL-S AF with it and the intervalomter running off a 12V car battery with solar panel for trickle charge.
The insulated cabinet is locked and mounted and is entirely stand ...

hum.. no, I'm not gonna comment on that :D

sunrise, did you ever think about setting up a cheap camera at the maximum timelapse setting it could handle and just leave it there? I think I remember someone on this forum that used to shoot the construction of some building and he had a permanent ...

For any people with cameras with a remote socket eg. Canon, Sankyo etc get one of these kits from Frank Crivelli of [http://www.ozitronics.com/counters.html] he programmed the chip to be delay only (Mode 7, read the online documentation) with a range of (pulse) relay times from 50 to 3000mS to suit ...
