Filmmaker Tools

The built-in time lapse calculator will compute the total number of images based on exposure, delay, and overall time.

The file size calculator allows you to select your camera type and file type. It then computes the average per image size along with the total size for the calculated time lapse sequence.

The play back calculator determines your video clip length based on your selected playback frame rate and calculated time lapse.

The motor speed calculator will estimate the Kessler Basic Controller dial setting to achieve more accurate motion control. Selectable variables include slider device, motor series, travel distance, overall time, pulse mode speed, payload weight, and slider angle.

The included level tool allows you to quickly level or set angles of devices in both landscape and portrait mode without leaving the Kessler app.

Flashlight Mode (iPhone only): working in low light? Quickly flip your iPhones flash on without leaving the Kessler app to shed some light on your work.
