BrinnoBCC2000 - Construction & Outdoor Security Time Lapse Camera Trio Bundle Pack - Up to 1-Year Battery Life - 1080P - Includes: TLC2000 Camera, Industrial Clamp, & Weather-Resistant Case

Finally bought my first time lapse camera and I must say this is a really nice for a fun hobby projects. The clamp and the monopod is really sturdy and easy to use and can be attached to almost anything. You also get the adjustable phone clamp which comes in handy to use with your phone. 5 stars for the clamp and the monopod and the handy carry bag thats included.The camera itself is portable enough to carry with you anywhere. The lens has an F2.0 aperture but this can be changed with the other lens Brinno offers. I have so far only used the lens that came with the camera. I use it mostly for time lapse videos at the beach and from my room overlooking the beautiful Diamond Head crater (Sunrise and sunset) here in Hawaii but the other modes such as step video, still and stop motion are pretty useful too.Like the other reviewer mentioned a reusable batteries would have been handy but it seems like the normal Alkaline battery lasts a very long time so it should not be a concern to most of the users. I did try powering and recording the camera with the USB-C-to-USB cable to a wall adapter when I am using it indoors to save the battery.Right now my wife has set up the camera to shoot one of her flowers blooming which will take some time but we are excited to see how that turns up. We also like the schedule mode shooting for times you want to record at times without manually recording and stopping.The menu/settings needs a little getting used to but you will get the hang of it quickly. You shoot something and the video file is ready on the memory card. Overall for a beginner like me this is a great little device and my wife loves it too! Win win.

We purchased this product to provide a time lapse of the construction project. We tested it and everything seemed great. The user interface is crazy obtuse, but we learned it and set it up on a pole to shoot photos every five minutes for the life of the project. When we took the camera down to replace the batteries and tried to pull the images off, only the first set of images was readable. The rest were corrupt files on the SD card. We contacted support and they were of no help in retrieving our images or insuring that it wouldn't happen going forward. So we paid $600 for some low quality photos of the very beginning of our construction project and that's it. For a camera that has one job, be a set it and forget it camera for months, THIS IS AN EPIC FAIL. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT FOR ANY REASON. What a complete and total waste of money. Setting money on fire is a better use of your money than buying this.

i wanted to post this because I’ve noticed some people having issues. I bought this camera for personal use. I’m not real tech savvy but was able to figure it out. I do photography on the side as a hobby and wanted to capture seasonal changes on my property. I wanted to find something I could leave for long periods of time but couldn’t find anything that could do that. So far I have been pleased with the battery life. I did have one hiccup, I had filmed some stuff around the house to test the camera out and had some issues with corrupt files. I wasn’t sure what that meant so I called my son who works on computers. He told me to contact the manufacturer, which I did, and they were able to walk me through an update for the software. The camera has worked out well for me so far and I will continue to use it.

I'll update when I've played more, but so far, I'm pretty impressed.The instructions could be a bit easier, but if your buying this camera, I suspect your a but tech savvy and should be able to figure it out.What I've learned from reading review and my 3 day experience.1. READ and FOLLOW this instruction. Format your SD Card, and install the firmware update which is easily found on Brinnos web page.2 . About the SD Card: As I read from another reviewer, the Brinno description is very misleading. Yes you get an SD card, but its 8gb. Enough to learn and play with, but not enough for a big project. For $600.00, I would have liked to see a 128gb card included. I was aware of this ahead of time from a review, so I bought one at the time of purchase. If I'm buying a $600 camera, $25 more isn't going to break the bank.3. Buying an SD card for your camera: Not all SD cards are created equal. I found this out the hard way in my GoPro Days. Do yourself a huge favor, visit Brinno's web page and buy a recommended SD card. This will likely solve any corrupt file issues.4. I haven't used the waterproof enclosure yet, but it looks pretty sturdy. I'm happy to see they included moisture absorbing pads in the kit. Nice touch.5. Clamp mount: I just starting playing with this, but its a beast. Much heavier than I expected it to be. It looks like it will, but I hope it holds out in the weather.6. Making a finished product: Understand that you will have to get your own video editor software to stich the files together. Not to worry, there are plenty of free versions online. I researched, downloaded and stitched my first set of files together in under an hour.
