Full description
Macro Bee — automated focus stacking for your macro rail Macro Bee turns your motorized macro rail into a precise, automated focus-stacking studio. Tell it about your lens and it works out the exact step size and shot count, then drives the entire stack over Bluetooth while you watch every shot land. In extreme macro, depth of field is razor-thin. Focus stacking is the fix: capture many frames at stepped focus distances, then blend the sharp slices into one fully detailed image. Macro Bee owns the hard, repeatable half — precise rail movement and shutter timing — so every slice overlaps cleanly and nothing is left soft. WHAT YOU GET 🐝 Computed setup — enter magnification, aperture, and sensor format; Macro Bee calculates the micron step and number of shots so your slices overlap with the right margin. No more guesswork or ruined stacks. 🐝 One-tap automated runs — connect over Bluetooth, press go, and the rail steps, settles, and fires on its own. 🐝 Honest live progress — a honeycomb fills as each shot is captured, driven by the rail's real step events, not a fake timer. 🐝 Saved recipes — keep your favorite setups as reusable projects and re-run them in a tap. 🐝 Per-shot logging + CSV export — every run records shot timestamps and rail positions, so you can match the files on your SD card and feed a sidecar straight into Helicon Focus, Zerene Stacker, or Photoshop. 🐝 Try it with no hardware — a built-in demo mode runs a full simulated stack so you can explore everything before you connect a rail. BUILT FOR MACRO PHOTOGRAPHY Whether you shoot insects, flowers, minerals, jewelry, coins, watch parts, or circuit boards under high magnification, Macro Bee gives you repeatable, hands-off stacks and a clean record of every frame. WORKS EVERYWHERE YOU DO Android, macOS, Windows, and right in your browser. Sync your saved stacks and run history across devices with a free account — or skip the account and work entirely on-device. FREE, AND RESPECTFUL OF YOUR DATA No ads. No subscriptions. No in-app purchases. No third-party tracking or analytics. We never receive or upload your photos — your images stay on your camera and SD card. COMPATIBILITY Macro Bee works with the WeMacro rail and compatible motorized macro focus rails over Bluetooth. Macro Bee is an independent product and is not affiliated with, authorized, endorsed by, or sponsored by WeMacro; "WeMacro" refers to hardware compatibility only.
