Could you possibly elucidate?

Bought it, used it for awhile, now it sits in a drawer. I prefer Nikons Snap Bridge. It works better and is MUCH faster functionally.
Several threads on it. Use search. You’ll get some threads on gun storage places. Additional words like attachment or AI may help your search. Also use advanced and check recent.
Bottom line is not much joy with it.
I have found a reference so that the uncleansed heathen masses [includes me] will also know what Arsenal is... Sorry to breakup a small group conversation:

" 6 main areas Arsenal is going to help with your photography needs Automated Photo Stacking, Automated Focus Stacking, Time Lapses, Professional camera adjustments with Smart Assistant AI, Wireless Control and Photo Sharing"
Guys, when you speak of a new technology one, should always give a definition or a reference.

Arsenal is a tool that does a lot of different things. Is there something particular you are asking about? Is it he AI stuff? The remote control possibilities? Like any tool its value depends on what you want to do with it.

Good link. Awesome timelapse videos. It also contains a link to the Arsenal website:
https://witharsenal.com.
The reason to not include a link is that UHH then transfers you thread to Links, which gets much less exposure.
Note the latest update to the article (10/18) isn’t happy with the software.
My Nikon Z6 with Snapbridge seems to do pretty much everything except create HDRs, although it even does a limited form of that. The camera does exposure like the AI in Auto and P mode. It does time lapse, focus stacking, and bracketing. Snapbridge does the rest such as remote control and image transfer. Even my D5600 with Snapbridge does most of that.
Mine sits with a multitude of other gadgets I have purchased to play with. Nothing special.
I received one as a gift. From what I can tell, it is primarily another AUTO setting for your camera. Then there's the advanced stuff. I tried running from Android tablet (tablets of any kind are not supported). The Tablet works OK. I was able to do a focus stack. How good the stack is I haven't determined yet, as I was just playing in the office. I was unable to do an exposure stack as the limits seem to be exceeded when there is something black in the picture. Again, have not played with it in the real world.
I found the communication between the camera and device was good. I'm not much of a fan of Snapbridge, so the bar is low. I keep telling myself that Nikon is a camera company, not a wireless communications giant.
Like others have mentioned, this device does not offer anything new. I have other tools that do the same thing. I won't say I'm a pro level photographer, but I'm not a novice either. I would not buy it for myself.
The market might be a beginner level photographer, but like anything that complicates the journey, it might also just turn someone off.

Except there does not seem to be a way to use SnapBridge if you are using a different brand of camera than a Nikon, so information on alternatives is always a helpful discussion.
Not for me. I do my own photography and make my own mistakes.
