Hi all--
I'm on vacation on the NJ side of the Hudson River facing the Manhattan skyline. I have been looking forward to creating a Timelapse (technically a Motionlapse) of the NYC skyline from the late afternoon into the evening. However, using just 2 waypoints (start and end) at 10 second shot intervals for the maximum limit of 5 hours led to my iPhone 11 Pro's Mimo app making a nice static timelapse, but the Om4 refused to budge from its initial start point. I had it set up on a level professional tripod and even calibrated the gimbal beforehand. Resolution was set to maximum and I placed it into Tilt Lock mode as it was a straight left to right pan. Reading online I found a post or two that seemed to indicate a similar "no panning" situation when set to the 3-5 hour lengths but that it might work on a shorter time length. Indeed, when I tried again with 1-3 minute time lengths the Om4 immediately did begin to pan correctly. But anytime I tried a longer length of 3+ hours it again refused to pan with multiple attempts. Several hourlong+ trials were attempted and it was very frustrating.
I'm as current as can be on firmware/software updates on both the Om4 and iOS. As I'm only here for a few more days and was really looking forward to getting these shots, can anyone please quickly help or advise? It would be greatly appreciated. Tu!
