Q: 4. For timelapse, can the head be programmed to stop-take a photo, move, stop-take a photo move, or does this have to be done manually? I understand about the app and wifi controller but cannot find anything saying it can be programmed to automatically move in increments....

A: Specific to your question yes. If possible download the Camranger user user manual. On page 34 the Shoot Move Shoot explains exactly how this is done and it is automated. In addition to using it for time lapse you can also set it up for HDR and bracket multiple shot at each sequencial stop. You can pan and tilt. You set the number of shots and control the time. Another option is just setting up a very slow pan and or tilt. In this fashion you do not have to calculate the steps but instead set it up to move at the speed you choose. There is another function you may be interested in called Stack shot. It is used for macro and moves the camera forward or back focusing at each step. It requires another accessory which is a shot set of rails with a mortorize head. I do not own. Overall the Cam Ranger with Hub are a great tool and I would recommend. Be sure your camera is supposed before purchasing.
