Nikon D3300 Timelapse Setup

[griffinblegen]

Hello all!

I am looking to build a long-term Timelapse setup to document seasonal changes in ephemeral pools and wetlands here in northern Minnesota. I have a Nikon D3300 which I am planning on using for this setup. The only problem is I am having trouble finding a trustworthy dummy battery for an EN-EL14 battery. I also have very limited experience with wiring and electronics, so anybody with tips on connecting the dummy battery to a 12v car battery, please help me out!

Thanks!

You would need a EP-5A from Nikon and flibbleflange a connector to a 12V battery.

You might check out this website. It looks like they have the long term timelapse figured out. Maybe they will share some info. platteBasintimelapse.com
