Mars 3.01.999.10

• Tracking stationary tolerance (Mars Dashboard > Settings > Tracking stationary tolerance) Adjust or turn off the threshold of stationary mode.
• Motion filter (Mars Dashboard > Settings > Motion Filter) Filtering the noise of tracking data helps to minimize the image jitter while the camera is in extremely stable movement, such as on motorized slider, jib,… Once you found image jitter in slow movement, there are two modes we suggested:
  • Manual movement: Using this mode when you slowly pan or move camera on tripod/slider by hand.
  • Motor movement: Using this mode when you slowly pan or move camera on a motorized slider.
