Hybris vs IRITracker Road Roughness

What is the Hybris? It is a custom designed and magnet-based shock absorber to reduce high and low frequency vibrations and hard impact shocks. Those are typically experienced when shooting from moving platforms on rough terrain or paved roads. What makes the Hybris special and unique? A new damping experience! A finely balanced and adjustable linear eddy current brake (magnets) and spring system gives you a stable platform from which to shoot. The fact that it operates without contact means it is wear-free and unaffected by weather conditions. Due to the eddy current break characteristics the Hybris system starts already to react in a range of millimeters when minimum position changes occur. Significant changes in position and speed leads to a movement delay of the shock absorber which provoke that the image of the camera is stable. The Hybris allows a spring range of 46 cm and a payload between 1-40kg (without applying any additional weights to the system). Moreover, the use of microcontrollers enables a high precision damping fine tuning and can be controlled manually or via Hybris App (Bluetooth). The front mount can be set for under or over slung, use of any camera, gimbal or stabilized head. Therefore, the Hybris achieves the optimum position for the perfect shot. Made in Germany.

Turn an iPhone into a practical road inspection tool: estimate the International Roughness Index (IRI), map pavement condition, add chainage or mileposts, export GIS data, and create final PDF reports. IRITracker Road Roughness helps contractors, inspectors, road engineers, municipalities, and maintenance teams document paved-road condition from field recording to a shareable final report. The app uses iPhone motion sensors and GPS to produce indicative roughness and IRI estimates along a driven route. FIELD SURVEY • Record the GPS track, speed, acceleration, and segment-by-segment road roughness. • See color-coded route segments, IRI graphs, route statistics, and roughness distribution. • Record a continuous series of logs for longer road corridors. • Attach photos and video evidence to specific route segments, and record full-route video. • Save the lane, comments, starting chainage or milepost, and increasing or decreasing direction. CHAINAGE AND MILEPOSTS • Add, edit, and delete chainage or milepost markers for individual route segments. • Review the route map and corresponding video while choosing a segment and reference frame. • Keep chainage data consistent across logs in a series and in new reports. REVIEW AND ORGANIZE • Review, trim, merge, rename, and filter recorded logs. • Filter logs by name and date, then display all matching routes together on the map. • Work with large log collections more comfortably on iPad and compatible Apple silicon Mac computers. EXPORT AND REPORTING • Create Universal Export packages for spreadsheet and GIS workflows, including CSV, KML, and GeoJSON. • Import and share native IRITracker log packages, or batch-export multiple logs. • Create a final PDF reporting document that consolidates the app's calculations and the field crew's work, including route maps, roughness results, graphs, chainage or mileposts, and selected concern segments with field media. CALIBRATION AND UNITS • Calibrate results for the vehicle and phone mounting position, or use a reference route to align measurements. • Choose metric or imperial units. PRIVACY Survey data remains on your device unless you choose to export or share it. IMPORTANT IRITracker is a screening and field-documentation tool. Results are indicative and can be affected by the vehicle, phone mounting, speed, road conditions, and device sensors. It is not a certified road profiler or a replacement for calibrated professional equipment when formal acceptance or compliance measurements are required. Some features and higher usage limits require IRITracker Premium. English Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
