This page is the single source of truth for where App v2 stands. It covers everything that has shipped since launch, what is still coming, and what we know about the road ahead. We update it with every release.
Download the App
App v2 is now available on the App Store. No TestFlight required.
TestFlight is still available, but it now serves a different purpose. The App Store build contains fully completed features. TestFlight is where we push more experimental beta and alpha work for those who want to try things early.
App v2 also runs on Apple iPad and Mac. If you need to go back, you can switch to the legacy v1 app at any time. When you do, the app will prompt you to reset your firmware to match.
What's in the App Right Now
Legacy features, fully supported: Timelapse, Keypose (up to 12 positions), Point Mode, 360 Mode (Turntable and Panoramic).
Motion Chain is live across all body devices. JibONE and JibPLUS now support Motion Chain in standalone use, without requiring a head device. Multi Point Motion Chain is also available.
Free Move Mode for DollyPLUS is available.
Packshot Edge Bundle (SliderPLUS + Dual HeadONE) support is live, including turntable control in Point Mode.
Focus/Zoom Module v2 (previous generation) is supported and can be paired with HeadPLUS units.
iPad and macOS are supported. Multiple independent instances can be run side by side on iPad.
Roll Movement Integration is now available. You can unlock 3-axis control by adding Roll to your Pan and Tilt movements using the HeadPLUS and HeadONE combination. Requires HeadPLUS, HeadONE, and the Roll Module.
Wired Communication for PLUS devices is now available via the Link port. Requires the Link Cable included with HeadPLUS. Linking 3 or more devices requires the edelkrone Wired Signal Hub.
Release History
June 24, 2026
edelkrone App v2 is now officially available on the App Store. This marks the end of the TestFlight-only period for stable releases. Going forward, the App Store build will always contain fully completed features, while TestFlight will be used for earlier-stage beta and alpha work.
June 16, 2026
New Features
- Roll Movement Integration: You can now unlock 3-axis control by adding Roll to your Pan and Tilt movements using the HeadPLUS and HeadONE combination. Requires HeadPLUS, HeadONE, and the Roll Module.
- Wired Communication for PLUS Devices: You can now link your PLUS devices (SliderPLUS, JibPLUS, DollyPLUS, and HeadPLUS) via cables for a stable, zero-drop connection. Useful in crowded wireless environments. Requires the Link Cable included with HeadPLUS. Linking 3 or more devices requires the edelkrone Wired Signal Hub.
Improvements
- Enhanced Jib Tracking: Tracking on all Jib products is now significantly more responsive and features higher resolution. The improvement is especially noticeable when using the wired connection via the Link port.
- Faster JibONE with HeadPLUS: Slowness issues when pairing JibONE (v1 and v2) with HeadPLUS have been resolved.
- Apple Device Battery Display: Battery level monitoring and display accuracy on Apple devices has been improved.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed an issue where the app would sometimes misread a press-and-hold on a position button as a tap, causing unintended camera movement.
- Resolved a jitter bug that occurred when repositioning an active point using Frame Shift in Point Mode.
- Fixed a bug that caused SliderONE to incorrectly prompt for a firmware update at startup.
- Hidden inapplicable options from menus to clean up the UI.
- Corrected minor display errors for device names and firmware versions in the Settings info screen.
May 19, 2026
- Fixed an issue where the 360 mode interval was not working correctly.
- Resolved mid-motion slowdowns in the motion chain.
- Corrected point tracking errors in Packshot Edge Bundle setups.
- Minor bug fixes and performance improvements.
May 12, 2026
- Increased Keypose Limit: The number of savable keyposes has been raised from 6 to 12, allowing for significantly more complex motion chain sequences.
- Simplified Calibration: Head calibration on sliders has been streamlined to a single unified standard. On-screen visuals have been updated accordingly. Please follow the new visual guides carefully during calibration.
- Standalone Motion Chain for JibONE & JibPLUS: Both jibs now support Motion Chain without requiring a head device. All edelkrone body device motion control products can now independently execute motion chains.
- Minor optimizations and bug fixes for overall app stability.
April 2026
- Turntable Center Improvements (PackShot Master Bundle): Direct center marking when the center is physically visible, a new Skip feature that keeps taught points fixed in space during turntable rotation, and Laser Module support for center teaching. One tap when the center is visible, two taps when it is not.
- Multi Point Motion Chain: Points can now be assigned to Positions. The system transitions to both simultaneously, unlocking complex layered camera moves. Shot Breakdown videos are available on the edelkrone Academy.
- Replace Position in Motion Chain: Saved positions can now be updated without deleting and recreating them.
- JibONE & JibPLUS point tracking improvements: Noticeably more consistent tracking when calibration is accurate.
- JibPLUS Drift Lock: Motors now hold a soft-lock state at the end of each move. The jib holds its position until nudged by hand, at which point the lock releases automatically.
- iPad & macOS support: App v2 runs natively on iPad and Mac. Multiple independent instances can be opened side by side on iPad.
- Tap to Save: Saving a Position, Keypose, or starting point teaching now requires a single tap instead of a long press. Long press is still used to delete.
- Independent speed & acceleration per transition type: Point and Position transitions now have separate speed and acceleration settings.
- Focus Shift: Single vs. Global (Point Mode): Single Shift adjusts focus when the target surface is behind the taught point. Global Shift offsets the entire lens map to reconcile the camera's mathematical and physical positions.
- Packshot Edge Bundle, turntable in Point Mode: One HeadONE handles point tracking while the other drives a turntable.
- Lens Mapping, redesigned: Streamlined flow from infinity to close focus. The Lens Community database was reset as part of this change.
- Dolly: Match Position: Clears accumulated positional drift by letting you physically return the dolly to a known location and resync. Demo available on the edelkrone Academy.
- Dolly: Arc & Line Path Flexibility: When the dolly is pulled off a path manually, the app now offers three options: Move Path, New Path, or Recover Path.
- Focus/Zoom Module v2 support: Previous generation module is now fully supported in App v2.
Launch (Early 2026)
- Timelapse, Keypose, Point Mode, 360 Mode (Turntable and Panoramic) — all legacy features supported.
- Motion Chain (requires Head and Body device pairing).
- Free Move Mode for DollyPLUS.

A Note on All of This
When you invest in edelkrone hardware, the software running it should keep getting better over time. That is the commitment. Some updates arrive on schedule, some arrive late, and occasionally something ships that was never on the list because it turned out to matter more. We will keep being straight with you about where things stand.
If you are using any of the new features and running into something unexpected, the edelkrone Academy is a good first stop. More updates are on the way.
