It's difficult to tell 1.5 FPS vs. 2.5 FPS. You need to be using a fast
shutter speed with the camera set to "MANUAL" mode. And if there's a battery
drain
problem, there may be other reasons why the winder seems "slow". Those
manufacturer claims are always under the best conditions, your mileage may
vary.
Also don't forget that performance is dictated by the condition of the parts
and
the lubricants. That winder 2 may be quite old by now. A 25 yr old car will
not give you the performance or gas mileage that's specified in the
manufacturer's original specifications, will it?
And the batteries should NOT drain that fast, not even close to that time
frame. I can't recall exactly how long my batteries last, but I've forgotten
and
left them in the winder for weeks from time to time, and it still works when I
use it again.
