If you’re benefiting from my project, or simply like what I do, you can help me by donating some amount onetime or each month. Supporting me on Patreon will help pay for hardware needed for further development. The money received will go towards:
- Buy a GoPro Max 360 for support latest GoPro models in the app.
With Patreon, you can send me a small monthly amount of money, or make a one-time donation by canceling the monthly subscription after the first payment.
