If like me you do the time-lapse (acceleration time by taking photos in large numbers) and want to add a little more to make it a little more alive, I invite you to rotate your camera (or reflex) during the shooting. The MUVI X works fine (without sacade) and despite its light weight it is quite stable due to foot aluminum which are arranged cleverly below. With an SLR you should use a short focal length to avoid it switches. Noisy (as any timer) the sound will be recorded if you use it to film.
