Review: set it, shoot it, and its ready! very easy - Finally bought my first time lapse camera and I must say this is a really nice for a fun hobby projects. The clamp and the monopod is really sturdy and easy to use and can be attached to almost anything. You also get the adjustable phone clamp which comes in handy to use with your phone. 5 stars for the clamp and the monopod and the handy carry bag thats included. The camera itself is portable enough to carry with you anywhere. The lens has an F2.0 aperture but this can be changed with the other lens Brinno offers. I have so far only used the lens that came with the camera. I use it mostly for time lapse videos at the beach and from my room overlooking the beautiful Diamond Head crater (Sunrise and sunset) here in Hawaii but the other modes such as step video, still and stop motion are pretty useful too. Like the other reviewer mentioned a reusable batteries would have been handy but it seems like the normal Alkaline battery lasts a very long time so it should not be a concern to most of the users. I did try powering and recording the camera with the USB-C-to-USB cable to a wall adapter when I am using it indoors to save the battery. Right now my wife has set up the camera to shoot one of her flowers blooming which will take some time but we are excited to see how that turns up. We also like the schedule mode shooting for times you want to record at times without manually recording and stopping. The menu/settings needs a little getting used to but you will get the hang of it quickly. You shoot something and the video file is ready on the memory card. Overall for a beginner like me this is a great little device and my wife loves it too! Win win.
Review: Don't buy their Camera Mount, it's flimsy and will break!!! - While the camera films OK, it's difficult to learn how to use it. The Screen turns off almost immediately, so you can't see what you're doing. Also, the Battery Life was NOWHERE NEAR what they claimed. I had to replace them within a week, and i was shooting every dayt Finally, my stand broke within 2 weeks of purchase.. It uses plastic at the most crucial point, where the camera mounts onto it. I asked for a replacement and it was not offered. All i got was a partial refund. I'll use that to buy another mount- one NOT made by Brinno.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it comes with waterproof case?**
A: Hello,
Yes, this comes with waterproof housing.

Jessica G.

**Q: Anyone use for time lapse? How did it work?**
A: Hello G.B,

BRINNO Empower TLC2020 Time lapse camera has three unique capture modes: Time Lapse (recording ready to share videos are just a click away), Step Video (recording short video clips at selected capture intervals) and Stop Motion (it auto combines photos into animated videos).

If you have other questions, please feel free to reach out.

Maria A.

**Q: Is there a setting to prevent the splitting of files, which the older brinno did not do?**
A: Hello,

May we know if you have set a schedule with your camera? If yes, there is an option in which the camera will auto COMBINE several daily files into a SINGLE AVI FILE. Just set your camera's schedule mode to "Continuous"
 
As the maximum file size of the TLC2000/TLC2020 is 500mb, a new file will be generated when the recording reaches 500MB. Therefore, if you are filming a long-term project you will end up with multiple video files with a maximum file size of 500MB.

**Q: How does it do in freezing temperatures?**
A: Hello,

The official operating temperature of our cameras is 32°F-113°F (0°C-45°C) however many of our customers have had success filming long term projects in locations such as Siberia and Dubai. If you are in an environment with extreme temperatures it might affect the battery life of your camera.

Your camera is not waterproof, filming outdoors will require using a waterproof housing such as our ATH1000 or ATH2000 housings. To avoid fogging please use desiccant packs or anti-fog pads inside your waterproof housing and replace them every few weeks (or as needed).

Make sure you are using high quality batteries such as Energizer Ultimate Lithium Batteries which have been made to withstand temperatures from -40ºC to 60ºC. Low quality batteries are unable to withstand extreme temperatures and using them will result in drastically lower battery lives.

If you have any more questions, please feel free to reach out to us at any time.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Disappointed at first but the end results turn me into a satisfied customer so far
*by M***E on September 7, 2019*

I'll provide periodic updates as needed. 9/7/2019 - However, the first disappointing thing is that I read and understood the product advertisement incorrectly. Though I feel it's bordering on misleading. They write "Never run out of storage with 128gb micro sd card" and there is no other mention that you will be getting the 8gb card and that the unit is 128 gb card capable. 9/8/2019 - After purchasing a 128gb card I tested out the time lapse feature. I chose 1 minute interval and highest quality HDR with 1080 resolution. I also upgraded the firmware to the version 90. I left the camera mounted outside for a 1 day and half and it produced 2 avi files. I had it set to run from 7:30-5pm. It looks like it simply produces files on a daily basis which is fine as they are easy enough to stitch together. Anyway the file size for 8 hours was around 210mb so with these settings running M-F you could easily let this go for months at a time. The picture was surprisingly awesome. I thought it might be along the lines in quality as say my arlo pro 2 security cameras but the picture produced was quite rich in color and very clear. I've also checked out some comparison videos and this unit you can clearly see is the better picture among its competitors. So at this point even with the mis leading advertising imho on the card size it ships with I would highly recommend this. BTW, imho the 128 card I bougth was rather inexpensive. I bet this company could negotiate a deal and it wouldn't be that costly to them to enhance their package.
