Welcome to the Middle Things Support Zone.

Guides, downloads, and troubleshooting.

Introduction​

Middle Control is a camera control app for macOS and Windows. It controls many cameras directly over your network, so you don't need any Middle Things hardware to start. Add an APC-R to bring DJI RS gimbals into the same app, or a Middle Remote for hands-on control.

This is your central hub for getting the most out of Middle Control and the Middle Things hardware that extends it.

Inside the Support Zone, you’ll find:
