I’m sure you’ve had a GoPro or other small battery timelapse enabled camera die before the best part finished. It’s very frustrating and the Afidus camera solves this. The camera uses four AA batteries to achieve long run times. And while Afidus haven’t tested this, they think you could double your run time by using Lithium-ion batteries.
