Who knows of an actually decent time lapse camera that has good focus ability and a wide angle of view? (ie. can grab a whole room, but also a close up of a plant or object without needing to be 10 feet away? - 5 ft is workable) 

I've been using my phone for time lapse stuff which certainly works and I really love it, but its an enormous pain having to have your phone inaccessible while you are working on stuff, or to have it set up somewhere for hours where its using10x the battery it needs for timelapse because its updating 100 other things in the background and vibrating like crazy every time i get a text or call.

It's just not optimal and I do a TON of time lapse video these days so it's time to get a dedicated device I think. Especially with some work I'm planning after the studio is together.

If anyone has experience with this let me know.

 If the quality is good from the phone, maybe just a second phone? I don’t have any specific camera advice beyond that 😅 

 I would almost do another phone except that it’s way overkill for cost if I want a decent lens. But I’ve certainly considered it 

 If the lighting is decent..GoPro is a great option. 

 DJI Osmo Pocket 3 is great 

 Go Pro or Insta360 would be my go to. 

 Nest cam works great 

 I've used Yi cameras over the years.  I normally use them for downhill mountain biking, but they work for time lapse as well.  They're a less expensive alternative to GoPro. 

 Oops.  I checked amazon.  Yi action cams aren't sold anymore.  My son likes DJI Osmo Action 3.  That will probably be the next one I buy.
