Here’s the quick review after playing with Gorillacam:
Joby says it’s fast. Well, it’s not. The app takes some time to save photos that you take, even in the different modes (Time-Lapse & 3-Shot Bust modes). In the 3-Shot Burst mode, the app stopped after the second photo was taken for an additional second or two and started to saving the photos that it took, then continued to take the third photo. The different features are impressive, but I think the app overall could use some tweaking. Great user interface. I’m going to have to play with this app some more before I make my final judgement.
