Re: WeMacro rail and burst bracketing

Totally.. but I could use other rails / stepper motors that go faster. :D
So supporting more motors in burst mode would be useful here too, even if limited with a fixed speed.

Re: WeMacro rail and burst bracketing

I do photogrammetry, so shooting 90 - 120 stacks at a time. With the regular mode it takes around 3-4 hours, now with continuous shooting just 30 min for everything.

My setup: the StackShot, runs around 30mm continuously. Simultaneously I trigger the camera from NX Tether (Nikons thetering app ...

Re: WeMacro rail and burst bracketing

I may misunderstand how it works, as I can't test it. But from what I gather it works by first measuring the effective fps (Through tool menu). Then you set start / end point + the interval or nr of shots. Then Helicon Remote calculates the necessary speed of the rail to reach that. Is this correct ...

Re: WeMacro rail and burst bracketing

Well that's unfortunate. I will switch to using the StackShot controller directly, which can do continuous shooting too. I'll miss Helicon Remote, looking forward once the feature is supported!

After reading your Docs and figuring out how it works, I think you are overengineer this a bit. As a user ...

Re: WeMacro rail and burst bracketing

I'm using a Nikon Z8.. I have gotten a StackShot now and it works in regular mode.
But the "Enable burst bracketing" is grayed out still?

I wanted to check the "menu -> Tools -> Burst bracketing", but there is no such menu?
I'm on windows, latest version, just downloaded.

Re: WeMacro rail and burst bracketing

Thanks for the prompt answer!
I understand, I guess I'll have to get a StackShot to speed my workflow up. 8)

WeMacro rail and burst bracketing

Hi

The documentation says burst bracketing is only supported with the StackShot rail.
Any plans to support the WeMacro rail? Or is that technically impossible.
