you put a camera in our face and most of us pretty much suck but that doesn't mean you do bad work it just means you suck when you get in front of a camera but if you stick a time-lapse up in the corner of one of your job sites it shows a potential customer the before during and after it speaks everything that you can't do in front of a camera your work speaks for itself that's why I'm making this video because a lot of guys do fabulous work and they don't know how to show their customers problem is most time-lapse cameras suck if they didn't you guys would see a heck of a lot more time lapse in my videos but I've tried using my iPhone it just doesn't work GoPro fabulous footage battery lasts about two hours that means I get two hours a time lapse on my job site and most of my jobs guys take two or three days so that doesn't work the only really good time lapses that are out there cost thousands of dollars but there's a new camera that I'm experimenting with and it's got some great features and it's got some not-so-great features and so today we're going to I'm going to show you all of it so let's just do this and the footage that you are looking at in these time lapses is actual footage from this camera it's insane how much quality is in the footage of this camera
