More than just a remote, Arsenal 2 uses AI and computational photography to help you create amazing photos and timelapses.

After shipping over 100,000 units, we're back with huge improvements to our intelligent photography assistant for DSLR and mirrorless cameras.

With a single tap Arsenal 2's AI determines the optimal settings for the scene you're shooting. Using its new and improved sensors, Arsenal 2 fine tunes your camera's settings by analyzing 22 different environmental factors. The result is great settings for any shot.

Arsenal 2's Deep Color uses a neural network to intelligently develop each photo. Deep Color is not a look or a filter. Instead, it produces a set of custom adjustments to each photo. The results are balanced yet powerful, rendering bold images that flatter every photo without being over the top. See the difference below compared to a camera's built-in colors.

See our “How it works” section below for more details.

Arsenal 2 controls your camera over USB and automates some of the most powerful photography techniques. The onboard GPU automatically stacks photos and sends them to your phone—or saves them to Arsenal 2's micro SD card slot (See FAQ for details).

Night photography is notoriously difficult. Arsenal 2's Night Assist makes it easy. It can focus on the stars with a tap*, then calculate the perfect settings to get sharp, detailed night photos.

*Night focus times vary by camera and lens. Night focus normally requires between 30 seconds and 2 minutes to get stars in perfect focus. See the FAQ for lens compatibility.

Panoramas make for powerful photos, but there's too much guessing involved. With Arsenal 2's live panorama, you can be sure you didn't miss anything. The Arsenal Phone Mount accessory (sold separately) holds Arsenal 2 and your phone, so you can watch the panorama build as you shoot. When you're done, crop the final output and it's ready to share.

In some locations, there will always be someone in your photo. By combining multiple shots, Arsenal 2's new Crowd Control feature can automatically remove people and other moving objects from your photos.

Arsenal 2 ships in Standard and Pro versions. Both have the same software features (and support the same cameras), but Arsenal 2 Pro brings even more performance improvements, added weather resistance, and USB-C connectivity.

*Micro SD card sold separately, see the "Accessories" section below

Arsenal 2 automates advanced photo stacking techniques to help you capture scenes with High Dynamic Range (HDR). In seconds, Arsenal 2 takes multiple exposures and blends them into a single shot capturing details in both bright and dark areas of the scene.

With Arsenal 2, you can create long exposures that capture rich color and dramatic motion blurs...without buying expensive neutral density filters.

With focus stacking, you can get your entire scene in sharp focus. Arsenal 2 calculates the ideal aperture, takes shots at different focus positions, and merges them into one crystal clear image.

We love timelapses, so we spent five years designing the ultimate timelapse tool. Start your timelapse with a tap...or set custom parameters. Arsenal 2 will intelligently manage the exposure to create a smooth day-to-night transition. You can even preview your timelapse while it's being recorded. You (and your phone) can leave. Come back any time to change settings or check progress. Arsenal 2 takes care of the rest.

Arsenal 2's powerful new processors allow for faster intervals, smoother transitions, and higher quality previews.

Arsenal 2 lets you control your camera from up to 100 feet away. Tap to focus, set shutter speed, aperture, and ISO; see a live preview; and take the shot—all from your phone.

Sharing photos from your DSLR or mirrorless camera shouldn't be hard. Use Arsenal 2 to automatically sync full-resolution photos to your phone, or send individual photos to your favorite apps with a tap.

Arsenal 2 supports over 100 popular DSLR and mirrorless camera models, 23 of which are new for Arsenal 2.

Hi, my name is Ryan. I'm a software developer, photographer, and the creator of Arsenal. I love learning. Photography let me learn something new and experience more of the beauty we have here in Montana. Arsenal started as a way to improve my own photography.

When I launched the original Arsenal campaign on Kickstarter, there was more demand that I ever expected. During the campaign, I was fortunate to be able to hire some of the smartest and most talented people I know. Three years on, we're still a small team. Yet thanks to everyone's expertise, we've been able to do things normally exclusive to much larger companies.
