Radian 2 allows you to create high quality motion time lapses by controlling your camera's advanced settings via bluetooth through the Radian App. Just connect Radian 2 to your camera via the USB ports, enable Bluetooth on your phone, and open the Radian App to get started!
There are two versions of the app. The main app is the Radian 2 which is much improved but does not have all of the features implemented yet. The original Radian app still works with the Radian 2. Please see this page for app feature support: https://alpinelaboratories.com/pages/radian-2-app-feature-comparison.
Connect the included Shutter Release Cable to your camera and plug the pin end into your Radian trigger port (it will have a picture of a camera trigger above it, and looks like an audio/headphone port). Be sure to set both your camera settings and lens settings to 'Manual' for Radian to work properly using the Shutter Release Cable. Radian will trigger your camera to take a photo between time lapse intervals. Camera settings and exposure ramping cannot be used with a shutter cable.
After opening the app, allow it use location data as this is required for Bluetooth access. Turn on the Radian 2 and the app will connect to the device. To speed up the process, you can go to the devices page and swipe down. Once the Bluetooth connection is made then if the camera is not connected via USB then two options are available: Use Phone Camera and Use Camera Trigger. If you want to use your phone camera with the Radian 2 then select the first option. If you have a Sony or other non-Canon or Nikon camera, then select Use Camera Trigger and connect the provided trigger cable to the camera. If USB is used and the camera is connected then neither of these options will be available.
When opening the App you will be prompted with the type of Radian being used - select Radian 2. Before entering the time lapse menu, go into 'Devices' and classify the Radian as Pan, Tilt, or Slide. Click on the arrow in the bottom right corner of the time lapse menu to start your time lapse, taking note to make sure your Bluetooth is connected to Radian when you press 'Start TimeLapse' (shown in the final image with the white BLE icon in the upper notification portion of the screen).
