Boomerang

Bring back the Boomerang capture mode that existed in dslrBooth. Operators say clients ask for it by name and that the 360 and slow-mo replacement is not equivalent: it requires the camera's video mode and an SD card in the camera, which many booths cannot or do not want to use, and it excludes some Nikon setups. Requests came from English and French speaking operators.

Original request

Hi there,

why is the "Boomerang" function no longer available in DSLRbooth? The video function or time-lapse is not the same.

    The same feature is still there, it’s now called 360/Slow-Mo

      Okay... but this function doesn't work for me without an SD card in the camera. With V7, I didn't need a DD card in the camera.

        The app now uses the camera’s recording function which yields a much higher quality recording. Before it was using live view frames which are lower resolution and might miss frames.

          But then the SD card must always be erased before each event to avoid the risk of it being full during the event!?

            Yes. It’s good to have the files on SD Card as backup as well.

              This is inconvenient and dangerous. If you forget to delete the SD card and it fills up during the event, the photo booth won't work. That's not a good feature!

    Option to Loop 360/Slo-Mo Videos

    I understand the boomerang feature is no longer, however, I noticed that you can get a similar effect based on the recording and reverse feature. I would love to be able to loop the final video for a set duration to achieve a similar effect.

        No, its not the same function.

        A boomerang is saved as a gif and plays forward, than backward in an countiniosly loop. The camera does not need a memory card in there. Its not the same as boomerang.

          Boomerangs were always saved as mp4.

          You can set “Reverse” under 360/Slow-mo settings to get the same effect.

    The “Boomerang Video” feature has disappeared 😭

    Since the update and the switch from DSLRBooth to LumaBooth:

    • The “Boomerang Video” feature has disappeared 😭 and has been replaced by “360/Slow-mo”. The new feature looks very good in use, but Boomerang did not require an SD card to be installed in the cameras, whereas 360/Slow-mo does.

      Our customers are very disappointed that the Boomerang feature has been removed, because we do not want/cannot install SD cards in our cameras (additional cost, extra maintenance to regularly empty the cards, etc.). As a result, we are unable to enable the 360/Slow-mo feature.

      If the purpose of this change is to provide higher-quality videos, could you perhaps offer an option such as:

      • “HD Video” → SD card required

      • “SD Video” → No SD card required

    Thanks Soooo Much 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
