5/5Very good
Very good implementation with actual log output unlike pearla which just simulates it for much worse results. Only thing I would ask for is LUT preview during shooting and exposure lock via long press. Otherwise very well made.

5/5Awesome!
App looks great and it really does capture a wider aspect fov… it’s not just cropping 16:9 footage to simulate open gate recording. UI is very well done. Love the zoom and exposure controls.

4/5Great App
I’m curious as to why I can’t shoot in 4k with the apple log colour space. I imagine that if it’s true open gate, shouldn’t it cover a sensor surface area that can resolve more than 4k if needed? I’m not an expert, so I’m curious. As for requested features, I’d love to have the ability to lock in my 180° shutter with a variable ISO that automatically compensates changing exposure. I’d also love some sort of tool to ensure correct exposure (like histogram or my favourite: false colour) I’d also like to see more aspect ratios with horizontal and vertical overlays you have at the top left-hand corner. I’d love to be able to punch in my wide screen, cinematic aspect ratio while recording. I’d also love to be able to rearrange the recording tools at the bottom of the screen (I’m a right hander and I would love to have the zoom button closer to my right side which I would use more often…instead of the focus button which I rarely use) Great app overall folks. Keep it up.

1/5Paywalled pro features 👎
Why pay a subscription for the exact same features Apple final cut camera, black magic camera, and many others do for free?
