Description
The Brinno ATH2000 serves as a professional-grade power and protection hub for long-duration time-lapse photography. Engineered to withstand the rigors of outdoor environments, this housing features an IPX5 weather-resistance rating that shields sensitive camera equipment from rain, dust, and debris. Its primary innovation lies in the integrated battery compartment, which significantly expands the operational window of time-lapse cameras, allowing for multi-month project tracking without the need for frequent site visits or manual battery swaps.
This product is for:
- Construction project managers requiring reliable, long-term documentation of job site progress.
- Environmental researchers monitoring seasonal changes or wildlife habitats in remote locations.
- Professional photographers executing high-resolution time-lapse sequences over several months.
- Security personnel needing a weather-shielded, high-capacity power solution for site surveillance.
- DIY enthusiasts documenting large-scale home renovations or landscaping projects.

Operating the ATH2000 is designed for efficiency in the field. The internal mounting bracket secures the camera firmly, while the Micro USB connection provides a stable 5V 2A power supply directly from the 16-AA battery bank. Users can choose between the standard lens cover or the extended cover to accommodate Brinno BSC series lenses, providing flexibility for both wide-angle and telephoto shots. The inclusion of a desiccant pack ensures that internal condensation is minimized, maintaining crystal-clear image quality even during temperature fluctuations.
In comparison to standard protective cases like the ATH120, the ATH2000 offers a massive leap in power capacity and lens versatility. While basic housings only provide environmental shielding, the ATH2000 functions as an external power station, making it far more suitable for professional construction sites than the smaller ATH1000. Its universal design ensures it remains compatible across the entire Brinno TLC lineup, offering a future-proof solution for users upgrading from the TLC200 to the higher-resolution TLC2000 series.
