YouTube can walk you right through how to use it

Why don't you just learn how to take and make a photograph instead of looking for equipment to do that for you?

Would you rather be the artist or try to take credit for equipment doing that for you?

Careful. Some are easily confused.

Received one as a gift last year. It is an Arsenal 2.
Played with it a bit. Used it with an R6 and a 90D. Did nothing I couldn't do either in camera or myself.
Really wanted to try the advertised panoramic feature, but was not released before I left for the winter.
Supposedly it has become part of the firmware now, and I'll give it a try when I get back North.
Otherwise, save your money. Better to learn the things your camera can already do, without extra doodads.

The v1 definitely did. V2 adds many new features. For those that have a camera with one slot, the slot on the V2 can be used as slot 2. There are 2 versions. The standard is about 300 times faster than v1 and v2 pro comes in a metal case and is 500 times faster than the V1. I have an EOS-R so I use it for the 2nd slot plus the time-lapse and stacked photos go on the micro SD card.

Why do you buy something and never use it???

I have found over the course of V1 and V2 ( full disclosure- I won the V2 on the Kickstart campaign), that the majority of issues are user error. The documentation is sparse and it can be difficult to figure out how to use. I have had several features that I have had to ask explicitly how to use.

Lol… I have a version I that I have never taken out of the box. Indicative of my G.A.S.!

I have it, and have used it. I was happy that they finally added the panoramic function. It works very well. All the programs seem to work OK. I still prefer the actual long exposure in the camera manually. Star shots worked first time every time. Focus stacking works but I haven't go it tuned to how I expect the final image to be. Note..customer service has been very helpful. Also, the instructions are all on line only. It is useful if you don't want to take the time to figure out manually or have the computer program to do tasks like image stacking or panoramic. I would definitely use it if I was going to take a vacation to anywhere there were large crowds and wanted to eliminate most of the people. Is it worth it... Yes if you have no intention of learning the in's and out's of photography. No, if you already know how to take long exposures, star shots, focus stacking and panoramics. I use it on my Sony cameras. I have been teaching Photography at the college level now for 40 years. I try to keep up with new toys and techniques so I can pass along that knowledge to students.

I didn't even think of using it for the second slot! Thank you for that.

The latter quote seems so apropos to the whole controversy of AI. I just finished watching a video on the 'Legal Eagle' YouTube channel which addresses AI and the issue of copyrights. Very fascinating outline of all of the legal issues involved and well presented. A worthwhile watch for artists, musicians, writers and photographers.
