You don't but if you have them there is no harm in using them, after all they are free Canon 7D | EF 100-400mm L my favourite bits of kit

Also if you want a new reason to drool try this http://vimeo.com/13858358 ![]() LordBrian wrote in post #11553374 ![]() Do mine with a 7D but should be the same 1. Get a laptop, I use a cheap Dell Mini 9 with OSX 2. Plug in via USB 3. Fire up EOS utilities 4. In the utils there is a setting which allows you to do x number of shots every x mins 5. Play with timing..... I do sky with one every 15 secs but you need to play with timing 6. Shoot jpeg is the easiest as you don't need to convert later. 7. I have Quicktime Pro so when all done just open that and you can select a folder and duration (fps) and it makes the movie for you. 8. I then compress with Final Cut Studio's Compressor I am an OSX man not sure about making the movie on Windows. If the OP does not have a laptop, then he needs a laptop, which costs loads more than a trigger Will | WilliamLiuPhotography.com
