## Review summary

Reviews largely flag reliability and compatibility problems (freezes, disconnects, and non-functional features) as major drawbacks. Positive notes focus on handheld mode, strong support, and potential workflow improvements when it works.

- Long exposure and deep color features are buggy or non-functional despite updates and tickets
- Cables are poor quality and can fail, causing intermittent disconnections
- Compatibility gaps with newer camera models and slow/unclear support for updates
- Usability and onboarding are weak: not very user-friendly and lacking solid guidance
