Improve the presentation of real estate, cityscapes, exhibition stands, and much more with professional architectural photography! Gimbse offers the perfect alignment of your camera without complicated post-processing or additional technical equipment. How it works? Very simple: take a photo – done. The unique perspective assistant always has the recording situation in view and takes care of the detailed work in real time. So you can fully concentrate on your subject. Also profit from the intuitively designed interface of the great and professional functions with which the Gimbse camera app makes your pictures even better. PERSPECTIVE ASSISTANT The Perspective Assistant ensures that your pictures are always straight, no matter from which angle they were taken. But “straight“ doesn‘t just mean that people stand upright in the picture and the horizon is really horizontal. With the help of the various modes, you can freely choose which additional perspective tools you want to use for your subject. Perspective alignment has never been so easy! • Horizon It automatically does what many photographers usually do by hand or with gimbals: Hold the camera straight. • Automatic Let the Perspective Assistant automatically select between Architecture and Horizon modes to avoid extreme distortion at the edges of the image. • Architecture The mode for professional architectural photography – the perspective is automatically corrected to avoid falling lines. • Gallery In Gallery mode, photograph vertical or horizontal surfaces exactly from the front, even though the situation only allows a sloping shooting angle. The magnetic axis makes alignment easy and very accurate. • Easel For inclined surfaces such as flipcharts, screens or simply easels, there is also the Easel mode with the practical magnetic angle. • Rectangle With the magnetic frame, you can shoot rectangular objects of any kind as if they were taken from the front and crop them in their original proportions, (almost) regardless of the shooting angle. • Calibrate Also use the Calibrate mode with its magnetic axes to achieve even more precision in aligning your photos. Once performed, the calibration is always maintained. • Deactivated With this you can also take really skewed pictures.
