- Level of Description

- Provenance
- Bought online from Mr Lee CatCam shop to facilitate the completion of my 4D 4th year university project.
- Associations
- This camera worked for one day and then the time-lapse automation stoppped working rendering it useless. The reason I kept hold of it was after complaining to the manufacturer, he eventually sent me a replacement camera and a new control chip to fix this one to ensure I could complete my coursework. Although I have never attempted to fix it. The object reminds me of the hours of time spent walking around wearing an adapted cap to take time lapse photos, especially during gigs and holidays - most of the time with no results due to malfunctions. It does also act as a reminder that there are decent people in the world as Mr Perthold the maker and retailer was helpful when he could have easily been otherwise.
