Have you heard of this "emerging" product? What do you think of it? https://witharsenal.com/
Brilliant and inevitable?
Total scam?
Might be real, but hate to see it come?
Yes, about time?
Who cares?
Sign me up?
Or ____?

It's a kickstarter project. They always have great marketing adverts. Remember Lille? How about Litro? Fabulous marketing presentations.

If you choose to invest in a kickstarter project know that the risk is high. You might actually receive a product, (not always) but even if you do the chance the company will survive is small. And products like "the arsenal" need continuous software support. However for the maverick investor, or those who have excess money and need to spend some of it, or those who simply don't care, for them, kickstarter products can be a good thing.

considering all the tricks and effects available on a cell phone now it is inevitable that there will be a crossover into the camera market. The more simple that photography becomes the more unit sales it creates. Not just taking the photo's but the 'instant' editing without other software has to be a bonus. Nikon and Cannon etc may support Adobe, but they might also decide to 'lose' the middle man.
without making cell phones bigger, their photographic ability has limitations. AI seems to be a novel way to mix existing cell phone ability with high end photographic equipment sales.
I would watch this trend....

Thanks for this link. Apologize for my lack of initiative before starting this thread.

In following that link, I've found the info I was seeking...and more. Loved that someone was able to learn a "secret" to his Nikon Snapbridge within that conversation! And this...

I also bought one and it has arrived. I have it out of the box and have been looking at it and looking at the training stuff. I bought it for lightning strikes and long shutter releases more than what my Nikon will do plus time lapses and a few other things that looked interesting to try. has been cloudy and with no lightning in the offing have not had a chance to play with it yet but looking forward to trying it. I am particularly interested in landscape photography with the automated stacking feature - We'll see. Hope to get out with it in January to see how it does.

It is interesting to see that some view this device as another creative tool to have in the bag, while others see it potentially as a replacement for their own skill-set. Or at least that seems to be a common theme. Others saw it as something that might be worth trying, bought it, and found it not to their liking for one reason or another - and that sounds like something I have done in the past in more things than photography. Yep, live and wish you could learn.

Thanks, everyone...in both threads!
