Plan a camera move once, then let the app run it for you — exactly the same way, every time. Pathset turns your iPhone into a director for your own gimbal camera: set waypoints of framing, zoom and timing, and the camera drives smoothly from point to point while it records. PROGRAMMED MOVES Set waypoints with time and zoom; Pathset drives the gimbal smoothly between them and starts the recording for you. REPEATABLE Save a move and run it again later — same framing, same speed, same timing. LIVE VIEW See what the camera sees while you set the points. TIMELAPSE MOVES Let the camera record a timelapse while the app moves the gimbal step by step. MEDIA Browse the clips on the camera, play them back and save them to your photo library. DIRECT & PRIVATE Pathset talks to your camera over its own local Wi-Fi/Bluetooth connection. No account, no cloud, no tracking. A camera is required to use the main features.
