11/19/2023 0 Comments Helio phonesWe think we have IDed the virtual drone/ mountainous ranges ranges bug but would like to chat about about the virtual stars mode, etc. Helios Pro has become one of my main go-to apps, even if I’m just shooting off my iPhone. Definitely hope the devs update these frustrating bugs and make it more capable as soon as possible, but if you’re in the market for a power photography app, don’t let these drawbacks dissuade you. The app can also crash if I take the virtual drone over mountainous ranges, and then over an urban environment very quickly while planning the camera up or down as the app seems to many times ‘struggle’ to keep loading the GPS tiles. However, the app is buggy and as of 3/1/19, the “virtual stars” mode is broken and will cause the app to crash on my iPhone X. The light pollution map is also very handy. The ability to fly a virtual drone with full controls over rendered topography, or 3D building mode during all points of the sun’s path, anytime of the year is indispensable for saving time setting up shots. Outstanding ability to set up aerial shots Please send an email to and we will try to address your problem. Will keep testing, would love to hear the developers thoughts- no way they haven’t tested vs sun seeker internally. I’m not sure how they calibrate vs the compass calibration Helios uses, but whatever they are doing I wish Helios would adapt. I find Sun seekers results to be much more reliable. I’ve tested this in many environments over two phones (currently 11 Pro) and come away with consistently poor results. However I still continue to find sunseeker to be more accurate without user calibration.īig fan of the app and UI, but my main use for this app is live view and the app falls down there compared to its main rival “Sun seeker.” If I line up the sun and calibrate that way, I tend to get solid results but if I select use the compass I find the results to be significantly off. I’ve also done further comparisons and have realized sunseeker uses a few tricks to disguise their inaccuracies as well so the difference isn’t quite as severely as originally suspected. I appreciate they seem to be doing all they can with every hardware release. Spoke with developers and understand the hardware limitations associated with this issue. Many tools will still work without reception. Dynamically generated 3D models of landscapes, buildings, cars, trees (and of course, a dinosaur). Night-shoot planner to see the optimum dates and times to shoot the Milky Way. Scarily accurate alchemy and celestial mechanics. Light simulation on a range of virtual stand-ins. Multiple tools to explore sun, moon, and star data. It also includes a unique night-shoot planner designed to let night photographers plan Milky Way photography. The new milky way section gives you three different ways of visualizing the stars at any location. New to Helios Pro are a number of tools to help with night photography. You can therefore see exactly how the light will strike the buildings throught the day. You can see precicely how light will illuminate and the shadows will fall.įor landscapes we create a dynamic 3d mesh of the surrounding terrain and show how the light will change throughout the day across the hills, mountains and valleys.įor city photographers we download OpenStreetMap building data and render a 3d reconstruction of the buildings and streets. Now you can visualize exactly what shots will look like at any location, at any time of the year or day. Not only can you pinpont the position of the sun, the moon (and now) stars the way you can in Helios, we've also added Augmented Reality and light simulation magic into the alchemal mix. We're very excited to finally reveal Helios Pro for cinematographers and photographers.
