UPDATE: New Flow camera controls for creatives. Updated Panels and more!

by Edson Soriano, Managing Director //42

Hello!

Now now, don’t get too excited; it’s no Chaseplane, nor will it ever become Chaseplane! However, it does deliver some fine-tuning for the dev types and creators of cinematography. These manual control points will enable the staging of specific cinematic shots, no matter how slow or fast you need the drone. For an official statement on Chaseplane, please click here.

Additional small but helpful new features within our default panels will improve your flow experience. The feedback you’ve been providing in the //42 Discord is incredible.
