Pro tips
Tips for the best results
A few habits that make the difference between a good and a stunning night timelapse.
Use a stable tripod
Small movements can deteriorate the overall quality of your final timelapse.
Avoid moving or bright lights
Cars, streetlights or other bright light sources can affect picture consistency.
Lock focus and exposure
Prevent sudden brightness or focus shifts by long pressing on the iPhone screen to enter Auto Focus and Auto Exposure lock mode.
Minimize vibrations
Do not touch or move the phone during the timelapse, and avoid moving or vibrating supports (car, A/C, …).
Use airplane mode
Notifications generate vibrations and received calls might interrupt image capture. Keep your iPhone in Airplane mode.
Connect to a power bank
A 10,000 mAh battery pack will let your iPhone take pictures for 8–9 hours.
