Arsenal, a crowdfounding project that will put a photographer in your pocket.

A few days ago we echoed Lukilink, a very interesting crowdfounding project that allows us to monitor our camera on our smartphone. Today it's Arsenal's turn, another project from the same platform (Kickstarter), which seems like science fiction.

The creator of Arsenal is Ryan Stout, an engineer and photographer who has managed to unite his two disciplines in a truly amazing artifact. Not in vain, he has raised 2,600,000 $ to carry out his project, when the initial request was only 50,000$ .

Arsenal is a photo assistant based on “machine learning”, the same type of algorithm that drives smart cars. This assistant in the form of a "gadget" connects the camera with your phone and is capable of analyzing the conditions of the scene you are about to photograph. Through neural networks and based on 18 environmental factors, it consults millions of great photographs and suggests the optimal camera values to capture the best possible snapshot. Once this is done, you just have to press the button.

It allows you to use the different most used photography techniques (bracketeer, Time-lapse, long exposures, etc). All this through a simple and intuitive interface, in a mobile app that will be available on iOS and in Android. It will be compatible with the majority of cameras from the best-known brands, in addition, it will also allow you to view photographs taken in format from the phone. RAW and complete resolution.

It seems like a crazy idea, it seems that with Arsenal, capturing snapshots will lose its romanticism, but we will not be the ones to close the doors to innovation, we are already eager to try it. The device could start shipping next month March 2018.
