They quite often weigh the passengers who take priority over luggage. I've had to leave gear to be sent on the next day. I left the tripod and lights one time.

It happened to me once and it required a new main board. I cant remember how much it cost but it was surprisingly little along with a full overhaul

Interestingly, not too bad on the frame to frame flicker that happens with timelapse.

i suppose it will depend to an extent on the length of the intervals. This was one frame every ten seconds with it set to run for 20 minutes either side of when I thought the eclipse would be, I also used the delayed start function

The not very exciting film is here but it does prove Interval Movie mode works very well. A big surprise to me was that battery lasted for approximately 240 exposures.

I should have said I had no intentions of pointing the camera at the sun, just at the view from my house as it was probably going to be cloudy anyway. As it happens the camera in time lapse mode performed really well but the eclipse was a bit of a damp squib here. About a one and a half stop difference between dull and duller, just a normal day really.

Tomorrow, during the eclipse, I'm going to try the interval movie function on the Q for the first time so the checklist is:

SR off
Exposure manual
WB daylight
Interval timer set to 1 frame every 10 seconds for 40 minutes starting 0910

Has anyone used this function before?

An amazing free app for the iPhone that measures light and colour temperature with amazing accuracy: Pocket Light Meter
