Does HR Support Continuous Shooting?

Hello, Stas! I'm a new user of HR and have only taken a few stacks. I am away from my gear for a few weeks and can't check for myself at this time. Will HR keep up if I set my camera to continuous shooting of say, in the range of 4 to 10 FPS? Will I gain any speed by doing that as apposed to using the single shot mode setting in my camera? It would help in shooting live subjects and eliminate slight changes in lighting (I like to use natural light when possible). I can easily shoot 10 FPS RAW. I am just curious until I can get back to shooting.

Thanks in advance,

Newton "Andy"

There is a continuous shooting option in Helicon Remote, but it cannot be combined with focus bracketing.
We offer two ways of doing what you want: using a Stackshot macro rail and burst focus bracketing feature in Helicon Remote (the macro rail moves continuously at a calculated speed while the camera is shooting), or using our focus bracketing tube which is an extension ring placed between the camera and the lens that requires no software.

Thank you, Stas. My first choice was the tube, but it would not work with my laptop or Android tablet (I have no smartphone) so I returned it.
Thank you for the quick reply.

After many attempts with my new FB Tube and my Android phone & Tablet, I got no communication (flashing green led). Then I tried my wife's iphone & that worked well. Then I went back to the Androids and they all worked too! Why is this? maybe we will never know.
