Yes
Ive had this for a while now but mostly used it for video and the occasional timelapse with a GoPro.
Today I tried using it with my 5Dmk4, it worked well enough, triggered the shutter, nice smooth movement between shots and no blur.
When I loaded my images into LRTimelapse i noticed that the timing between shots was varying, I had set it to a 3 second interval, but for some reason every 4th shot had a gap of 5.9 seconds.
When you looked at the timings it was 3.0, 3.0, 3.0, 5.9, 3.0, 3.0, 3,0, 5.9.

Any idea if i was doing anything wrong? I did have it set to waiting 0.5sec (after the shutter finished ) between movement.
Anyone use one of these that could give me some tips?
 
That’s strange… I can’t think of anything systematically to effect 4th shot. The shutter speed plus is short I take it? Is there any possibility it’s struggling to focus on the 4th shots? That could explain why it’s not taking the pictures when triggered by the genie?

I was using manual focus, here is what it looks like in LRTimelapse
