1/5Meh
Endless bugs. Endless confusion. It’s a money grab.

Gabor Muse · 7 Aug 2026
5/5PLEASE ADD APPLE WATCH SUPPORT
Apple Watch support would be incredible. Could just strap the Apple Watch to my Ronin or use it while also filming with another camera. I film concerts and have cameras sitting on stage while I am moving around and the ability to start video while far away at the click of a button from my watch would be incredible! Very interested in this tool, but won't buy it unless it supports the Apple Watch.

3/5First impression
Would like to see image preview with current version and also histogram and Apple Watch support.

DanStelle · 7 Aug 2026
3/5More or less works, but very rough around the edges
It took some time to get my Pulse working, and it needs to be activated in very particular way, namely: Turn on camera (Canon 6DMk2) Turn on Pulse Connect Pulse via USB Open iOS app Otherwise it won’t work at all. HDR doesn’t work (presents an error message) and long exposure doesn’t either (takes a shot at a shutter speed besides what I specified). Bluetooth preview image is hit or miss too. I also verified that I’m at the latest firmware :-/ I got this for time lapses, which do work though.

1/5Absolutely terrible
According to the last update, they fixed an issue that would previously prevent the pulse from showing up in the devices page. That is a lie. No matter how many times I’ve turned on my Pulse and checked to see whether or not it was connected in my phones Bluetooth settings (it’s always connected, which means the Pulse Bluetooth works, as well as my phones) it never shows up in the devices list, which means I can’t even use it. It’s worthless.
