Hey Rhino Family, since we started shipping we've been hearing a lot from you about feature requests and bug reports. With any new product we try our best to thoroughly test it before it goes out to our customers. However, once we get hundreds of units in regular use, new bugs always pop up.
Our current focus is to stabilize the firmware and fix the bugs we're hearing about and can track down/reproduce. An update will be ready for testing by the end of this week and will require at least a week of testing before we release it. It includes a new feature called Fast Focus that changes your focus 2x faster during a move so the subject you're racking to is in focus for the second half of the move (instead of just at the end). We'll have a tutorial on it in the next week or so.
Issues fixed:
Our focus for December is to implement a Tracking Mode which will allow you to keep objects centered in the frame. There will be a distance setting so that you can shoot everything from macro to interview shots with it. This feature should be ready by the end of the year barring any major setbacks.
This is the major update that a lot of you are requesting. It's going to take some time as our main priority is bug fixes right now and every update requires as much testing time as coding time.
This update will give you the following features:
After we release this update, we'll work on releasing 5pt moves.
During our Kickstarter campaign we ran into some hardware issues that pushed back our firmware development. We're a very small team and can only do so much with the time we have. I know it's hard waiting for some of these features but I hope you'll stick with us as we mature Arc II and make it an even better product.
