Astro Core

iPhone / Photo et vidéo

Motion and Time-lapse have long been our area of focus with the original Astro and the Pico Time-lapse trigger, both successfully funded Kickstarters that have become widely popular products. Astro Core advances the category by simplifying complex motions, and by adding wireless programming through our smartphone app.

Gesture Programming
The biggest obstacle to motion control is creating a program, since it usually involves complex curves, values, and math. We wanted to remove every obstacle so that you can focus on creating amazing time- lapses, so we developed what we believe is the most intuitive way of creating motion control programs. We call it Gesture Programming. Use the Astro Core app to record your desired motion in mid-air, then send the recorded program to Astro Core and it will precisely mimic your moves. It works with one device to create panning or tilting, two devices to create simultaneous two axis motion, or three devices to create simultaneous three axis motion.

Precise Settings
Astro Core is not limited to gesture programming; in fact it features some of the most powerful features ever in a time-lapse device. With precise control for speed ramping, bulb ramping, and HDR time-lapses and presets, you can dive as far as you want into the controls and create unique and precise motion.

Wireless programming
After you setup your program in the app, send it wirelessly to the Astro Core(s) via Bluetooth. Then sit back and enjoy the view while Astro Core does the work.

Modular
We have created a platform of accessories that bring tilt and linear motion into the equation for more advanced motion control. Astro Core works great by itself to create panning or tilting time-lapses, but when you add more Astro Cores and the linear mount to the equation, you get endless possibilities. It becomes the first truly portable and affordable 3 axis motion system.

Versatile
Astro Core is so small you can take it anywhere, and it runs on AA batteries so you don’t have to worry about outlet availability or downtimes.
