It combines multiple operating modes in a single unit such as Enhanced Time-lapse Modes, 360° Product Photography and Panorama. When several Capsule360 units are working together to create motions, they do not need any cable connection at all. No more cable clutter! All units communicate with each other without a cable. You can use Capsule360 to take time-lapse photos as well. It offers both standard and advanced time-lapse modes. The advanced modes are Bulb Ramping, Interval Ramping, Long Exposure and HDR (High Dynamic Range) time-lapse modes. These modes do not require the existence of the smartphone during the shooting.
