processor for a big rig!!!!

The standard Canon 5D DSLR timer release has a minimum 1 sec interval in its intervalometer mode. With SDM and this gadget I think I can get my Canon compact to output a pulse every 0.5 sec say (which can fire a relay to fire my DSLR).

> One frame a second is a bit slow for busy city street timelapse. A 5DMkII btw can fire M or S jpgs continuously at 3 fps. It can almost fire SRAW2 continuously at 3fps but there is a 1 second hiccup delay every 25 frames or so. So I suspect it would shoot SRAW2 continuously at 2 fps say. This is all so I can shoot 360 timelapse panos with a twin 5DMkII/10.5mm rig at 2 fps in RAW (if I can get another 5DMkII).
