The Accessory Pro® Flow-Mow 2 Hour Timelapse compatible with all GoPro® / DSLR / Cell Phone with Tripod and Phone Mount

I just had the chance to use mine. After compiling the timelapse video, I can tell you that is is smooth and it takes the stated 2 hours to go the full 360 degrees. I have only used mine with the GoPro Hero3 Black Edition so far, but the GoPro is really the main intended use for this item. I do intend to try it out with a lighter DSLR at some point in the future, though. It is essentially a kitchen egg timer with a tripod screw. So, as long as it holds up under normal use, it does what it should and does it just fine.

Would have been phenomenal for 2 hour time-lapse, if the device wasn't so cheaply made. I know the description shows the use of a DSLR, but this little guy is far to small and flimsy to hold up to that standard. It barely would hold up my GoPro without the top half of the very very very very thin hollow plastic, leaning and becoming crooked-sided while in use.I tested this over night (stayed awake) while doing a Nighlapes (night time-lapse) with my GoPro HERO4 Silver. I'm not sure if I actually got a full 2 hours, but it was definitely over 1 hour. I couldn't run a 4th test as this unit broke the first night of use. When I wound it up, something inside snapped and was just rattling around freely. At that point, it would only intermittently operate normally, but the initial issue were still there.Pros: - Small, compact, light weight - 2 hour time-lapse, so they claimCons: - Ridiculously weak and cheaply made - May not actually provide 2 hour time-lapse - Easily broken - Doesn't seem that it will efficiently support the weight of a DSLRConclusion:Theres better out there than this thing. I do welcome you try it out, because mine could have been a dud, but there are definitely better options out there that this little guy.

The fact that this is at least $10-$20 more expensive than similar products might cause some to not even consider it. After all, how much of a difference could there be between this and other 360° rotating time lapse mounts? Well right off the bat, this is the only one on the market which takes two hours to make one full rotation. All of the other brand's take only 1 hour which is really not enough for time lapsing most anything.The second thing is build quality. Now don't think that this thing is a tank, it will definitely break if you are too rough on it, but it seems far more robust and stronger than the ones by Drift, GoScope, or Camera lapse.The third thing is that this comes with all the necessary mounting hardware to attach a smartphone, DSLR/point and shoot, or a GpPro. Granted, you have to make sure that whatever camera you are mounting has most of its weight in the center so it can rotate (i.e. no DSLRs with heavy lenses) but you can still attach pretty much anything. I primarily use it for taking time lapses with my GoPro, but I have also tried mounting my iPhone 6 Plus and Canon T4i on it just to see if they would work.Overall I would highly recommend this to anyone trying add a little something to their time lapses without spending several hundred dollars to get an electronic slider or rotating device. Unless you are somehow 100% sure you need a 1 hour rotation or you only have $20 to your name I see no reason not to spend the extra money because of the extra features and superior build quality of the Flow-Mow.

This thing is incredible. I am a content creator for YouTube who uploads on a daily basis. My Hero 4 is the most "go to" piece of equipment I own. I use it almost everyday. Time lapses are also my favorite form of cinematography, so I am well versed in the process. People will tell you that this is a souped up kitchen timer, but I promise it offers much more of an impressive result than something like that. It takes 2hrs to turn a full 360°, but most of the time, you just want to capture a certain angle, panning across a bridge, down a street, or maybe shooting from the corner of a room. That approach has quickly made this my most useful GoPro accessory. It's durable, easy to use, and does exactly what the seller promises. The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is the clicking. In most cases, it isn't a bother, because of the environmental noise happening in the scene I'm capturing. When it's quiet though, the clicking becomes rather annoying. Great product overall!

They really shouldn't show a picture of this product with a DSLR mounted on it. It is not strong enough to rotate a DSLR especially if the camera is angled up for photographing the night sky. I wanted to use this to get nice time lapse pans of the night sky but the FLOW MOW was not able to smoothly rotate the camera. It was especially bad when the camera began rotating down and the flow mow could not provide enough resistance and the camera just rotated all the way forward. I was using a Canon T5i, not a large DSLR. Again, this really should not be advertised as a product for use with anything more than a GoPro or small camera. I will say that it appears to be well built and the other mounts work well.

I give this device 5 stars because it's really great for the price. I had been looking for a long time for something that would hold my camera while making a timelapse. I used this device with both my compact and my DSLR. I didn't want to put a heavy lens on my DLSR and a light 35mm worked really well. I haven't tried with a heavier lens at this point, but I wouldn't make a timelapse with a heavy lens anyway.The only thing that bugged me in the beginning was that the direction of motion (the arrows) are hidden when the camera is on top of the Flow -Mow. But it always rotates to the left anyway, so it's not a big deal.The motion is smooth and lasts for 2 hours to complete a full resolution, which makes the TL movie much more smooth. I really like this little thing! Somebody mentioned that it's ticking with some noise. I shot outside and didn't pay attention to it. Of course, while shooting videos, this might be a problem. However, for me, I eliminate video sound in editing and add sound later, so it's ok.For clean sound recording it's always better to record sound separately anyway.
