#Blog · Aug 31, 2017

In the last article, we mentioned that should be mastered before use, such as the use environment of Rigiet, the Rigiet structure, the battery charge, and the boot and shutdown. In this article, we'll show you the functions of Rigiet. We will also introduce how to use the app which can be found at the Apple Store (IOS system) and Google Play (Android system).

 

Rigiet has a function called automatic following shooting. You can circle the part you want to follow in the APP screen, and then click start shooting, then Rigiet can automatically shoot follow the people or things you have circled. Rigiet has 3 modes of following those need you to adjust by Pan & Tilt Mode button. When you switch button up to Pan & Tilt follow mode. Rigiet will follow you vertically and horizontally. When you switch the Pan & Tilt Mode button to Middle, Rigiet will be locked at a position without following. When you switch it down, the Rigiet will be locked in the vertical direction and only follow the horizontal direction, the mode called Pan follow. And Rigiet will change the position automatically in order to adapt to your holding position, such as Standard, Portrait, Underslung. You can choose to follow patterns according to your needs.

Time Lapse

 

Time-lapse photography -- one of the special methods of photography.

Slow Motion

 

Slow-motion refers to a special technique of photography that speeds up the shooting frequency (FPS) and returns it at normal frequencies. For example, using 48fps to shoot and play 24fps with a replay. All the movements are slower. For example, bullets shoot through apples, and ceramics fall to pieces. So you can get some details that you can't see with the naked eye.
