What's New in Orbacam

2.0.4

June 22, 2022

We’ve fixed a few audio & video sync issues. Orbacam now plays better than ever.

User reviews

Great app with LOTS of potential.

I gave this app only four stars because it’s obviously growing as the Orba itself is growing and developing with user interface and feedback.

The exciting thing about this app is that it’s a new way to approach photo and video editing using a tactile wireless remote.

The sound options are currently limited, but I am certain that there will be more options as development continues.

The same is true of the photo filters. Given the number of effects choices many “cartoon” or “Art” camera apps have, I’m sure these too will be expanded… I’d love to see more “art” filters with ways to manipulate them live during recording.

And speaking of that.
What SUPER exciting is just the possibility of just a simple hand held wireless remote.
The orba COULD be used to pull focus, control exposure, control frame rate, contrast, and many other aspects of camera control!!!

Can’t wait to see how this app grows!!!!

Hi there, thank you for the thoughtful review. These are some very creative ideas. We have some fun stuff in the works that we can't wait to share.

Love everything about it

More filters would be great

Love it

Response from developer

Thanks for the review, Enoch. Glad to hear you're enjoying the app.

It’s fine

It does what it says, it’s just something that sound cooler than it is (for me). The music-making is cool, albeit way better on an actual Orba. Although if you have an Orba, this app has more sounds than the actual Orba app for some reason. If the idea is to sell people on Orba, this isn’t really a value-add for the device. If the idea is to stop developing for Orba in favor of Orbacam, I recommend just doing it from the ground up rather than trying to squeeze two concepts together.

Either way, it makes me hesitant to buy whatever Artiphon puts out next unless I see a recommitment to making Orba into a great device for at least one function instead of “fine” for multiple ones.
