v1.8.0 - 2020 February 6

Finally, v1.8.0 stable release! This has been a long time in coming, mostly due to trying to keep up with all the new camera releases and needing to switch earlier than planned to the new camera driver in order to better keep up. The new driver included in this release is now at a stable point and should perform very well across the range of supported cameras. It's faster, allowing shorter intervals and is also much easier on the development side to maintain and keep up with new cameras, so it's in a good place to continue moving forward from here.

The documentation has been fully updated for v1.8.0: https://docs.view.tl

New

  • Support for a wide range of new cameras (Canon, Nikon, Sony, Fuji, Olympus & Panasonic)
  • Entirely new high-performance USB camera driver: shorter intervals, more reliable [1]
  • Updated bootloader and power-on sequence [2]
  • Scheduled and long-term time-lapse via the app

Updated

  • Improved wifi firmware update process
  • Better wifi management and reliability
  • Big improvements to keyframe motion and focus control through the app
  • Ramping algorithm improvements (starting exposure decoupled from post-transition exposure)

Experimental

  • eMotimo ST4 support
  • DJI Ronin S support

Additionally, hundreds of bugfixes and minor UI enhancements have been made.

[1] Use of the new driver is highly recommented, as the old one will no longer be updated. Most cameras should work much better with the new driver, but if you find a problem, you can still switch to the old driver in Settings->Camera Driver (if you need to, please let me know at elijah@timelapseplus.com)

[2] It no longer powers on automatically when connected to charge; when the power button is first pressed it will flash -- continue holding until it becomes solid to power on
