Helios Pro Reviews

[Steve Sherrick]

Anyone using Helios Pro? I have the regular version and for the most part it's pretty good but the new one sounds incredible. Wondering if anyone is using it out in the real world and what your take is so far? It's not expensive ($30) but at the same time would rather not throw away money. I have some shots I'm trying to get that involve moon positions. And of course just general sun tracking and I like their augmented reality approach.

Hmmm... also interested. Like Steve, I have the regular version but wasn't aware of this new Pro version.

I have both...the Pro version needs some updates before its ready. But it has tons of potential.

Thanks, Greg. Is it worth the $30 to start playing and exploring in anticipation of the improvements?

What's the difference in the Pro?

What's the difference in the Pro?

According to their web site (worth a look), it is now capable of creating a whole augmented reality, virtual simulation of the environment via Apples ARKit. Rather than just showing where the sun will be in the sky (etc), it can create a simulation of the shadows and light angle at the chosen time.

one off the new features in Pro version is integration with Google Streetview.

The AR features seem to be buggy, but haven't had much time to play with them
