We recently set up 5 units of Titan 3 Time-lapse camera systems for a Singapore-based shipyard. The purpose is to capture the construction of topside modules for an FPSO vessel. A floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) unit is a floating vessel used by the offshore oil and gas industry to produce and process hydrocarbons and store oil.
The Titan 3 Time-lapse Camera houses a Canon DSLR camera inside with a wide-angle lens to capture the images at 20 megapixels. Shooting at 15-minute intervals, the assembled images will provide around 6K of video resolution. This will allow us to zoom into the image up to 6 times, to create a time-lapse video with movement. Titan 3 can be powered by AC or solar panels and it has an internal battery that can last for around 7 days.
We will also be conducting several drone shoots and ground filming to capture the heavy lifting and milestones in this project. When completed in around 2 years' time, this topside module will be one of the biggest in the world.
I liked how this piece balanced newer developments with well-established, foundational context readers might still need. The author didn't discard older understanding just to appear current or trendy unnecessarily throughout. That respect for context makes it worth continuing to check the latest updates from this particular source. Thanks for such a well-grounded and genuinely balanced piece.
I appreciated how this piece rewarded a full read rather than just skimming through the opening paragraph and assuming I'd gotten the gist already. The author built the argument carefully, with later sections adding genuine value beyond what the introduction alone had managed to cover. That payoff is exactly what makes it worth taking time to browse the blog thoroughly rather than just quickly scanning headlines. Thanks for such a rewarding and well-built piece that paid off the extra attention given to reading it fully.
I don't often finish reading something and feel like I walked away with substantially more information than I had going in, but that's exactly what happened here. The writer did a great job easing into the topic before moving into the more detailed sections further along. Each part built naturally on what came before, which made even the denser material easy to follow without much effort. A handful of smaller details mentioned throughout ended up being some of the most useful parts of the whole piece for me. It's clear a lot of research went into making sure this covered the topic thoroughly rather than just superficially. Definitely one of the more informative reads I've had recently, and I'll be…
