We're very excited to finally reveal Helios Pro for cinematographers and photographers. Not only can you pinpont the position of the sun, the moon (and now) stars the way you can in Helios, we've also added Augmented Reality and light simulation magic into the alchemal mix. Now you can visualize exactly what shots will look like at any location, at any time of the year or day. You can see precicely how light will illuminate and the shadows will fall. AUGMENTED REALITY For landscapes we create a dynamic 3d mesh of the surrounding terrain and show how the light will change throughout the day across the hills, mountains and valleys. For city photographers we download OpenStreetMap building data and render a 3d reconstruction of the buildings and streets. You can therefore see exactly how the light will strike the buildings throught the day. NIGHT PHOTOGRAPHY New to Helios Pro are a number of tools to help with night photography. The new milky way section gives you three different ways of visualizing the stars at any location. It also includes a unique night-shoot planner designed to let night photographers plan Milky Way photography. - Multiple tools to explore sun, moon, and star data. - Light simulation on a range of virtual stand-ins. - Scarily accurate alchemy and celestial mechanics. - Night-shoot planner to see the optimum dates and times to shoot the Milky Way. - Dynamically generated 3D models of landscapes, buildings, cars, trees (and of course, a dinosaur). - Many tools will still work without reception. - Multiple ways to export data. - iPad and iPhone compatible
Waste of time
I’ve tried using this app on several occasions and it’s always a struggle to get it to recognize where I am and what time it is. Painfully frustrating.
Incredible! 10/10 Would Recommend!!
As the old saying goes, “You pay for what you get” and this app certainly lives up to the to that. It’s spendy, but the level of sophistication and the versatility is unparalleled in any other app I’ve used for its purpose. It’s not the kind of app you’re going to download and implement without taking the time to understand how it works, and there is a bit of a learning curve, but once you’ve spent some time understanding how it works, i.e. reading the instructions, its capabilities are just incredible. If you’re using an older device, you will likely run into some challenges as this app requires some processing power, but for the professional looking for the professional solution, you’ll be hard-pressed to find anything better.
App doesn’t load, crashes instead
I get the startup screen 30 seconds later it crashes. Restarted my phone…. Same thing
Where’s the sun?
On every location scout the sun is always in some random place. Calibration hardly if ever seems reliable. If this takes a lot of effort to troubleshoot I think it’s simply not worth it. Concept and design are all good and helpful, but in reality it’s not useable
If you app is not working try this:
I just paid for the app and is not working, I want my money back. **Update** I restart my phone and didn’t work, but I erased the app and re-installed and is working perfect.
I this app is not even opening in my iPhone 12 max with the latest version upgraded. WTH?😡
I just paid for the app and is not working, I want my money back.
Live view is and has been broken.
Ever since I wasted my money on this app, it’s been broken. The live view has never been accurate, even with trying to calibrate. And sometimes you are trying to see where the sun will be in a few weeks, so calibrating to the sun is worse than useless. I’ve just gone back to using my free app that works much better. Dumb that you can’t get refunds on apps.
Bug fixes.
