Ratings and reviews

Test run indoors before a nighttime shoot on my k1 mk ii and it worked fine. Live view, settings, focus, all perfect. Took it out to the site and couldn't connect. App kept crashing. Absolute waste of time and effort and I'm not happy about it. Back indoors and still can't connect. Stopped app. Un-installed and reinstalled. No joy. Update: updated the camera firmware and I can connect now. But now image sync is telling me it won't operate in bulb mode. Why not. I need bulb mode for astrotrace.

I had a few small issues at first, but it didn't take long to get things sorted and now I really like the app. First, I had some connection issues, but then I realized this was my phone dropping the connection due to no Internet access. Once I got the phone to forget about looking for the Internet and hold the connection, it was fine. Second, I tried using it and had an issue where I had the camera drive setting in continuous shooting but the app was in single shot, it gave me a strange message and would not take a picture until I figured out that both the app and camera had to be in the same drive mode. After getting these two small issues figured out, it has worked flawlessly and I really like it a lot! It does what I need it to and then some.

Unable to connect at all any more. What the hell? How is this even possible. I used to be able to copy images from the camera via Bluetooth (wifi never worked), but I can't even do that anymore. Do you not have budget to fix the bugs? Why release the app at all? If you can't support the application, do not advertise the connectivity, and do not release the app at all. Just have people copy images the old way. Very disappointing. $900 is not cheap for GRIII, you should do better by People Ricoh..
