MIOPS MOBILE

Nicely designed functional App! Fast and Personal Support!

Hang on before i can loggen in

I have my Bluetooth turned on, but still can not detect my Miops. I would send photos to show but can not do that in the review.

I think I bought this on Kickstarter, several years ago. When it arrived I couldn’t get the app to connect, it DID. NOT. WORK. I figured it was just another KS scam and I vowed (again) to never back another one (again). I stuck it in the garage and forgot about it. I just now pulled it out and thought I might as well test it and if it still doesn’t work, cut my losses and toss it… and then a miracle happened. A quick firmware update and I’m happy to say I’m up and running. I’m pleasantly stunned. Looks like after a rough start they got their act together.

I have an iPhone. Tried many times to update firmware. It gets to screen that says updating firmware and 0%. It stays stuck at 0%. I contacted MIOPS and their answer was to try another phone. Not happy.

I don’t know if it is the app that is @#$& or the MIOPs Flex, either way they don’t work. Don’t waste your money on Flex and the app is useless.

Reviewing again after many more test runs. It simply will not work longer than 1-2 hours. I can’t even report a bug in the app because that feature is also broken. It’s like a buggy app version of the movie Inception.

I am constantly getting “send log“ errors. I’m connected to my FLEX but then it also wants me to be connected to the Internet to send these error logs. Sometimes the app doesn’t go into countdown mode so you can see the exposures as they are taken and how much time is left. If I switch to a different app like email, text, or take a phone call I have to reconnect the app to my FLEX. For a while the app would constantly ask me to update the version. Nearly every time I used the app there was a new version available. Fortunately that has subsided and is not constantly asking me to automatically update every single time I use the app. Overall I like the idea but there is a battery in the camera, there is a battery in the FLEX, and there’s a battery in the device that runs the app. With so many batteries you can count on at least one of them going dead during a shoot. I take photos of residential real estate using the HDR setting and that’s all I do. Having these errors, updates, and needing to reconnect causes a photo shoot of a four bedroom house to take as long as two to three hours.

Don’t waist your time or money for Sony a7iii just sends error reports and we’ll that’s it. I have tried several times over the past many months hoping all the updates would solve the fact it just does not work, to bad.

Between ordering the flex and receiving I got a new camera. I tried many cables trying to connect to the camera. Miops expedited a cable from Turkey and that was the key to get this to work. I ordered several cables and had some USB-C none of which worked. Staff is very attentive to issues. They will solve your problems. I have had no time to use flex since receiving cable but at least camera and flex talk to each other. ArtN
