# Raspberry Pi Camera Timelapse Case ## Overview https://youtu.be/ZJW3ZNAZUsA Build a timelapse rig with the new camera module from Raspberry Pi! We were able to capture stunning timelapses with dynamic exposure thanks to the new HDR mode.  The new camera module features autofocus and a 12-megapixel sensor and an HDR mode giving you excellent image quality. High dynamic range means you can capture perfect exposures in your timelapse videos.   ![raspberry_pi_hero-rig-kit.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/120/237/medium640/raspberry_pi_hero-rig-kit.jpg?1681737275) ![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/120/279/medium800thumb/raspberry_pi_Everest-.jpg?1681759503) 3D print our snap fit case to house a Pi 4, Pimoronoi’s 4-in HyperPixel display and the new camera module.
