In an earlier episode, Clem built a stop motion animation machine. Now, he takes feedback from animators on the Internet and builds an easy to use, inexpensive version targeted at beginners. Doing little stop motion films with kids and friends is a great hobby, but the cost for professional software is sometimes a hinderance, while most free software supports only webcams. Clem uses a LattePanda single board computer to build a cheap animation rig that allows you to control a good DSLR or mirrorless camera remotely, taking hundreds of necessary pictures for your animation project!

I also have created a very similar system with RPi and a quality webcam myself.
I've developed a GUI just for this project that works with keyboard exclusively, allows direct camera manipulation and use…

Nice job! 1500 photos? Your patience is impressive.
