I agree. I wouldn't be that impressed by a a minute of static timelapse either. I'm going to be cutting it with some other footage not yet uploaded anywhere.
The final version should be about a minute long with bits from about 5 sequences.
The purpose of this upload was to demonstrate how it looked reasonably clean despite parts having a 30Hz 1/3 stop flicker*, not show something intended to be a finished film. The original footage is literally unwatchable.
The "single viewpoint" issue is an interesting problem that I haven't found a solution to - I'm not sure *good* timelapse videos are actually compatible with short climbing holidays.
For example, I quite fancy a track to move the camera around but when you have a tent, climbing gear and ruinous excess baggage charges it is unlikely to make the cut.
Similarly, moving the camera between viewpoints of the hill wasn't an option as we were only in the area a couple of days. I set the camera up immediately before setting off to attempt the hill and picked it up again when we got down. I suspect my climbing partner for the trip would have taken a dim view of me forcing us to stay an extra day for more footage as well.
*I accidentally left the cam in aperture priority mode.
