Arsenal 2

Not much help in explaining how to use it. I am finding that I have to scour the Internet to find out how to use the features.

Sometimes locks up and have to restart but overall it’s a great app

Great promise but hella buggy. A disappointment so far.

…but I only like it. Hardware is solid. Functionality is decent (there are quirks), but the reason I only give it 3 stars is because on my Canon EOS R5, I use the Canon app to connect my phone to the camera to provide GPS data (I love geotagging my photos). When using Arsenal 2 Pro, I can’t get the GPS data. It’s actually quicker to do some post edits in Lightroom and get comparable photos to what Arsenal will produce, than it is to manually add in GPS metadata to the photos. Arsenal, please either add GPS data or allow it from 3rd party apps.

Just used it for the eclipse. Very helpful for settings and viewing the results

I had the original arsenal and now have upgraded to the Arsenal 2 pro. The original product helped my photography tremendously and there are major improvements in the new model. The service has been outstanding with very rapid delivery and when I had one question it was answered in less than eight hours. This is a product that any photographer looking for help and improving their pictures should consider seriously.

Overall it’s ok. I decided to get it thinking it would help with the editing time. However, very often an annoying “error loading pano” message keeps calming on, locking the App, when I’m trying to upload panoramic files. I need to either leave the app or delete and reinstall completely to get it working again. Not sure if the team is aware of it.

I had the original Arsenal for my Nikon D5300 and loved it. I finally upgraded to a full frame camera (Sony A7R iii) right around the same time Arsenal 2 was announced. I bought the pro version thinking it would be even better than the original. So far it hasn’t worked for a single picture. No matter what mode I try to shoot in, the app never finishes processing the final image. I’ve double and triple checked all settings, following the camera specific instructions every time. Really sad to see a product I liked so much completely ruined by the “upgraded” version.

The promise is great. And once in a while it’ll pull off a great shot. But that’s at the expense of mass frustration during which I could have captured many pictures myself and done better in post-processing. The one feature I really wanted to work (pseudo-long exposure) remains totally unusable despite multiple support tickets, sample submissions and even video of it misbehaving going back over a year. Bottom line, save your money. Use traditional techniques. Update Jan ‘24. Long exposure mode still non-functional.

So I went out and purchased a Sony A7rV, a Gmaster prime lens and take pictures and they all look terrible? What am I doing wrong??? I don’t have an Arsenal!!! Immediate results, focused, clear, perfect shots right out of the box and I haven’t even really spent much time with it? I am absolutely impressed right out the gate and can’t wait to spend more time with Arsenal !! I would highly recommend this for anyone that’s new to the camera world and just needs help, I still don’t know the basics but this really helped me A few more days with it, I like that it sends the files to an external source, essentially doubling your camera capacity, Images are editable on the fly, and you can send them directly to your cell phone for review
