 The Mumford Time Machine The Mumford Time Machine is a programmable controller and intervalometer for special photographic effects. It allows you to trip the shutter of your camera or fire an electronic flash at regular intervals (time lapse), at specific times of day, or in response to trigger events. These trigger events can be sound, light, motion, or electrical signals. A wide variety of sensors and other accessories are available for use with the Time Machine for use in the studio or as a camera trap for wildlife. We've been making the Time Machine since 2001 and it's now being used by thousands of professional and amateur photographers, and on every continent. The Time Machine is exceptionally easy to use due to it's keypad and LCD screen. All parameters are entered with easy-to-understand text on the screen so you can clearly see what your time lapse interval is, how many exposures have been taken, or what your delay settings are. The Time Machine runs on an internal 9 volt battery, so it does not need to be tethered to an electrical outlet.
The programmable features of the Time Machine also make it useful for other exotic and creative applications like Triggered Timelapse, Ballistics, and Software Streak photography.
The Time Machine has a variety of programmable delay times that allow you to determine precisely when an exposure will be made in relation to the trigger event. It can time delays as short as ten microseconds or as long as 24 hours. When used as an intervalometer, you can program The Time Machine to take exposures at specified intervals or at specified times, and exposures can be restricted to just daytime or nighttime. It's internal 24 hour clock is hand calibrated to an accuracy of better than 4 or 5 parts per million, which is better than two seconds per week. The Time Machine will run on its internal battery for a couple of days, or you can plug it into an external 12 volt battery for field work or use it with the included AC adaptor. Optiuonal adaptors are available for customers outside the U.S. For a technical description of the various modes of operation built into the Time Machine, Click Here. A variety of sensors are available for The Time Machine including acoustic sensors, optical sensors, motion detectors, a laser beam, or crossed-beam optical sensors with infrared or laser light.
The Time Machine is only available from Mumford Micro Systems. We assemble and test each one here in Santa Barbara, California and ship them anywhere in the world. We have customers in more than 50 different countries, from Austria to Wales. The Time Machine includes the basic unit, a 9 volt battery, an AC adaptor, and thorough instructions. You may also need a shutter cable for your camera or a PC cable for your flash. To place an order for The Time Machine or see prices, please go to the Order Entry Form.
