Set your conditions. Get notified when they align. No more checking five apps and guessing.
Weather apps are built for everyone — so they're useful to no one in particular. They'll tell you it's partly cloudy. They won't tell you whether the conditions will be worth it at 6am, whether the light will be blocked, or whether you should bother setting an alarm at all.
Vantage is built around what you actually need: a verdict. You define the conditions for the shot you're after. Vantage watches the forecast and tells you when they're lining up.
“For photographers who already know where to go — Vantage tells them when.”
Choose from curated presets — Fog Chaser, Soft Golden Light, Storm & Drama, Cloud Inversion, Astro/Night, and more — or build a fully custom condition profile. Vantage watches the forecast and notifies you when your shot is within reach.
Choose a named preset — Fog Chaser, Dappled Light, Harsh Light, Woodland, and more — or dial in your own exact thresholds. Wind speed, temperature, cloud cover, weather code. Your shot, your parameters.
Core featureGet notified when conditions align for a saved location — with however much lead time you need. Set your minimum threshold: only the best conditions, or anything worth considering. You decide.
Per-location controlBlue Hour AM, Sunrise, Golden Hour, Midday, Astro/Night — eight time modes. Presets are filtered automatically so you only see what's relevant for when you're planning to shoot.
8 time modesAdd as many locations as you shoot. Each one has its own preset, time mode, and notification settings. Vantage monitors them all and only gets in touch when something worth knowing is happening.
Multi-locationVantage uses high-resolution regional forecast models — UKMO UKV 2km for the UK — and scores conditions against your preset. Not a percentage chance of rain. An actual verdict for your shoot.
UKMO UKV 2km (UK)“The shot I'm after requires fog 3–6, wind <4mph, temp 1–4°C, rising pressure, and a clear overnight. When it aligns, you'll know.” Build that exact profile and let Vantage watch for it.
Custom presetsNo dashboards to check. No manual forecast reading. Just a notification when your conditions are coming together.
Save the spots you shoot. Name them, assign each a time of day and a preset or custom condition profile. Takes a minute per location.
Pick a preset — Fog Chaser, Storm/Drama, Soft Golden Light, Cloud Inversion — or build your own. Set the exact weather thresholds that produce the shot you're after.
Choose how much lead time you need — 15 minutes to 4 hours. Set whether you want to hear about anything worth a trip, or only the best conditions. Per location, per shoot.
Vantage monitors the forecast around the clock. When conditions align, you get the call — "Get the gear ready." or "Worth a trip." The rest is up to you.
Vantage assumes you know your locations. It's not a location scouting tool or a beginners' guide. It's for photographers who have the shots planned — and just need the right moment.
