I would be interested if anyone has any experience with Arsenal.

I bought one, even upgraded my camera body since my 14 year old Nikon wasn’t on the list?
All in all, I’ve tried to use it a couple of times, but I’ve never been a “tripod” kind of guy. I don’t live on the beach but I do get some rather nice sunsets. I think I wasted my money considering all the effort to set up a tripod. Overly advertised and hyped.
Your mileage may vary

Do a search in the search box. You pull up plenty from UHH’ers.

Don't buy it ! I did and I regret . Paid up front for it then after 3 months had to call and complain to get it .then it wouldn't " pair" with the app . The kicker is they knew it wouldn't. After they sent it , they said "we're working on a fix " . Wait for for an upgrade. I haven't bothered with it since.

I had seen it advertised very well less than six months ago. While I didn't buy it, I was tempted to do so. I had it on my GAS list. With a little more information from friends, I decided against buying it. The price doesn't justify its use. While it may not be a waste of money and time, I think I could do a better job of photos without Arsenal.

Happy Shooting!

Watch this YouTube video. This guy physically breaks it down with a perfect demo.

That’s an older video and I suspect the guy had not selected where the pics were to be saved. I’ve not had that problem with mine. Also the slower the internet connection the longer it takes for the blue tooth connection.

After using this I believe it would be excellent at time lapse, or maybe some situations in wedding photography.
But-all-in-all, I probably won’t use it very much because I don’t do tripod work very much.
So final story;
I saw it and being a “gadget” guy and electronics tinkerer since childhood, I had to have it.
First, my 14 year old Nikon wasn’t on the support list.
So I upgraded to a newer model, that’s a good thing but it cost me $300!
Then I bought the Arsenal, another $200 and weeks waiting for the container ship to arrive.
Then I realized my old tripod was not sturdy enough?
So, another $150 for new tripod and swivel head.
$650 later.. I have a nicer camera, a killer tripod and this $200 Chinese device that is terrible at anything bud tripod use. 🤷‍♂️

Agreed. Too much trouble for too little return. It's relegated to my canon toy box.
