What is Sabre? Sabre is a Wi-Fi enabled, weatherproof, multi-functional motion sensor and camera trigger. Please note: This is for the original BLUE Sabre. This app will not work with the new Sabre II. This app allows you to adjust all the settings for your Cognisys Sabre photography sensor, including: Range, trigger mode, sample rate, cross-beam functionality, bulb mode, number of shots, and much more. You've just finished setting up your Sabre high in a tree to capture your subject and realize you need to adjust the settings -- no worries! Connect to Sabre with your phone using this app and make any changes you need. No need to get back to the sensor for adjustments. It can all be done right on your phone (or tablet). You can also use this app (in conjunction with the Sabre hardware) to measure distance using its advanced Lidar functionality. This app requires the Cognisys Sabre hardware.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: MIOPS MOBILE at Free against Sabre's $9.99. MIOPS MOBILE also leads on ratings volume (29 vs 2) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 4 months). Sabre's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 2.4) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
