This page is the single source of truth for where App v2 stands. It covers everything that has shipped since launch, what is still coming, and what we know about the road ahead. We update it with every release.
Download the App
App v2 is available on iOS, Android, iPad, and Mac.
If you need to go back, you can switch to the legacy v1 app at any time. When you do, the app will prompt you to reset your firmware to match.
What's in the App Right Now
Legacy features, fully supported: Timelapse, Keypose (up to 12 positions), Point Mode, 360 Mode (Turntable and Panoramic).
Motion Chain is live across all body devices. JibONE and JibPLUS now support Motion Chain in standalone use, without requiring a head device. Multi Point Motion Chain is also available.
Free Move Mode for DollyPLUS is available.
Packshot Edge Bundle (SliderPLUS + Dual HeadONE) support is live, including turntable control in Point Mode.
Focus/Zoom Module v2 (previous generation) is supported and can be paired with HeadPLUS units.
iPad and macOS are supported. Multiple independent instances can be run side by side on iPad.
Known issue: The turntable control joystick may appear in some setups where no turntable is included. This will be fixed in the next release.
Release History
May 19, 2026
- Fixed an issue where the 360 mode interval was not working correctly.
- Resolved mid-motion slowdowns in the motion chain.
- Corrected point tracking errors in Packshot Edge Bundle setups.
- Minor bug fixes and performance improvements.
May 12, 2026
- Increased Keypose Limit: The number of savable keyposes has been raised from 6 to 12, allowing for significantly more complex motion chain sequences.
- Simplified Calibration: Head calibration on sliders has been streamlined to a single unified standard. On-screen visuals have been updated accordingly. Please follow the new visual guides carefully during calibration.
- Standalone Motion Chain for JibONE & JibPLUS: Both jibs now support Motion Chain without requiring a head device. All edelkrone body device motion control products can now independently execute motion chains.
- Minor optimizations and bug fixes for overall app stability.
April 2026
- Turntable Center Improvements (PackShot Master Bundle): Direct center marking when the center is physically visible, a new Skip feature that keeps taught points fixed in space during turntable rotation, and Laser Module support for center teaching. One tap when the center is visible, two taps when it isn't.
- Multi Point Motion Chain: Points can now be assigned to Positions. The system transitions to both simultaneously, unlocking complex layered camera moves. Shot Breakdown videos are available on the edelkrone Academy.
- Replace Position in Motion Chain: Saved positions can now be updated without deleting and recreating them.
- JibONE & JibPLUS point tracking improvements: Noticeably more consistent tracking when calibration is accurate.
- JibPLUS Drift Lock: Motors now hold a soft-lock state at the end of each move. The jib holds its position until nudged by hand, at which point the lock releases automatically.
- iPad & macOS support: App v2 runs natively on iPad and Mac. Multiple independent instances can be opened side by side on iPad.
- Tap to Save: Saving a Position, Keypose, or starting point teaching now requires a single tap instead of a long press. Long press is still used to delete.
- Independent speed & acceleration per transition type: Point and Position transitions now have separate speed and acceleration settings.
- Focus Shift: Single vs. Global (Point Mode): Single Shift adjusts focus when the target surface is behind the taught point. Global Shift offsets the entire lens map to reconcile the camera's mathematical and physical positions.
- Packshot Edge Bundle, turntable in Point Mode: One HeadONE handles point tracking while the other drives a turntable.
- Lens Mapping, redesigned: Streamlined flow from infinity to close focus. The Lens Community database was reset as part of this change.
- Dolly: Match Position: Clears accumulated positional drift by letting you physically return the dolly to a known location and resync. Demo available on the edelkrone Academy.
- Dolly: Arc & Line Path Flexibility: When the dolly is pulled off a path manually, the app now offers three options: Move Path, New Path, or Recover Path.
- Focus/Zoom Module v2 support: Previous generation module is now fully supported in App v2.
Launch (Early 2026)
- Timelapse, Keypose, Point Mode, 360 Mode (Turntable and Panoramic) — all legacy features supported.
- Motion Chain (requires Head and Body device pairing).
- Free Move Mode for DollyPLUS.
What's Coming Next
We owe you some honesty here. In April, we listed four features targeting May. None of them shipped in May. Instead, we focused on things that were not on that list. Some of those turned out to be more urgent, but we understand that does not make the missed commitments any easier to accept. Here is where everything stands.
| Feature | Previous Target | Current Target |
|---|---|---|
| Wired CAN-Bus Communication (Link port) | May 2026 | Early June 2026 |
| In-App AI Chat Support & Academy Videos | May 2026 | July 2026 |
| Infinite Loop Feature | May 2026 | July 2026 |
| Motion Chain (Multi Point) Timelapse | May 2026 | July 2026 |
| Controller-free / Tap to Move | June 2026 | July 2026 |
| Vision Module Support | June 2026 | July 2026 |
| Phone Mode Return | June 2026 | July 2026 |
CAN-Bus is nearly done and will be the first thing out the door in June. The rest we are targeting for July, and we will not move those dates again without telling you why.
As for June itself, there will be a release, but it will look different from what we originally described. The team is currently deep in development work for something we think will genuinely expand what edelkrone systems can do. We are not ready to say exactly what it is yet, but if you have been wanting to combine edelkrone motion control with more of the equipment already in your kit, the direction we are heading in should interest you. More on that when we are ready to share it properly.
A Note on All of This
When you invest in edelkrone hardware, the software running it should keep getting better over time. That is the commitment. Some of the updates above were planned, some were not, and some things we said would happen have not happened yet on schedule. We would rather be straight with you about that than paper over it.
If you are using any of the new features and running into something unexpected, the edelkrone Academy is a good first stop. More updates are on the way.
