Description

-- NEW External Controllers --
Connect Tilta Nucleus Nano & Nucleus-M to control Focus, Iris and Zoom, as well as Start & Stop Recording.
Zoom and Focus control supported on Pocket 4K only.
This is part of the new Pro feature set, which also includes Multi-Cam mode.

-- MULTI-CAM MODE --
Multi-Cam Mode is now part of the Pro feature set, and includes these fantastic features:
• Control up to 12 Blackmagic cameras at once
• Create up to 3 distinct Control Groups, to give you fine-grain control over different settings for different cameras
• You can choose to have changes made on one camera automatically update all the other cameras in its Control Group, or control everything straight from Bluetooth+
• Give your cameras Nicknames to quick, easy control
Multi-Cam gives you control over the following features synced across an entire Group:
• Start/Stop Recording
• White Balance + Tint
• Project frame rate (off-speed frame rates not supported)
• Shutter Angle/Speed
• ISO
• Overlays
• Slate
• Trigger Auto-focus
You can still control all other settings on a camera-by-camera basis, including:
• Trigger stills capture
• Iris control
• Focus + Zoom (on supported lenses)
• Codec + Resolution
• Playback control
• You can also set ISO specifically, rather than by camera group

And of course, everyone has access to all of these amazing features:
• Follow Focus (limited support for EF Mount cameras). See below for more info
• Zoom Control on supported lenses
• Trigger Stills capture
• Record Start/Stop
• White Balance + Tint, including 5 helpful presets and Auto White Balance
• Audio Controls
• Trigger Autofocus (for supported electronic lenses with autofocus enabled on lens)
• Off-speed frame rates
• Aperture (for supported electronic lenses)
• Shutter Angle
• ISO
• Auto-Exposure Control
• Active Card
• Power On/Off
• Monitor Overlays
• Codec & Resolution
• Enter metadata in the Digital Slate (including location data from your iPhone or iPad if you give permission)
• Control Lock - locks critical controls while recording, preventing accidental settings changes during takes

-- Follow Focus --
You can now pull focus wirelessly right from your iPhone or iPad. There are some limitations outlined below.
• Currently only fully supports Pocket 4K, but as of v1.4 we now have limited support for EF mount cameras - Pocket 6K, Ursa Mini Pro G1 & G2
• The camera does not supply the app with any information on the lenses current focus distance, so the app will not update in real time if you pull focus manually on the lens
• Due to the nature of bluetooth, focus pulls may not be 100% smooth. It works well for nice slow pulls, but fast pulls my not feel entirely natural and organic. Unfortunately this is a limitation of the available technology.
• On EF mount cameras, we can only offset focus from its current position, with no broader knowledge of where the lens is in its focus range. This means that focus marks are not possible. In addition, focus pulls on EF mount cameras can be quite jerky depending on the lens in use.

-- Playback Control --
With Bluetooth+ you can control the playback of clips right from your iOS device. There are some notable limitations at this point. Currently you can:
• Start playing a clip, either forwards or backwards
• Navigate between clips, either forwards or backwards
For now, you will not be able to:
• Pause a clip that is already playing
• Change the speed of a clip that is already playing
• Control clip looping

-- Zoom Control --
Control the zoom level on supported lenses. For the most part, this will only work on MFT lenses with electronic zoom. We are currently unaware of EF lenses that support this feature

-- Slate-Only Mode --
As the name suggests, this feature locks the app into Slate-Only mode, without the ability to change critical camera settings or start/stop recording. This means you can let an assistant keep metadata up to date without the fear of interfering with important camera settings.

Good idea BUT.

Pop Productions on

Belgium

Good idea but the app already crashed two times while triying to set the focus. One of the biggest disappointement is that while you can automatically focus from one mark to another, I didn’t find the way to set those marks, they are set by default! But I’m looking forward for improvements.

Doesn’t work at all

Doesn’t work

Love the app overall. Wish it had one thing.

Just bought a bmpcc 4k and got this app right away. I love all the features. I just want to know if the developer ever plans on adding the ability to use this app as a bluetooth monitor? I would definitely be willing to pay extra for that.

Buggy but useful

AskJoe.TV on

United States

I have a love / hate relationship with this app. When it works, it’s absolutely amazing. In the most recent update they added better support for the full frame BMCC6K, but now I can’t seem to be able to toggle focus assist on any of my four cameras (4K, 6K G2, 6K Pro, 6KFF). The multi cam support is frustrating because I still need to disconnect and re load the app to configure certain features in single mode on each camera one by one. As a single person content creator, I need to rely on this app so that while sitting in front of the camera, I could make some basic changes like triggering and checking the focus with focus assist, adjusting the exposure with false color and configuring my ratio and codec. I’m not sure if this is just a bug in the last update but the toggle is no longer there to turn on the focus assist. They do have settings to change the level of focus assist, but there is no longer away to toggle it on and off. Now, I have to manually walk around to the other side of the camera to turn on focus assist, then get back in front of the camera, then I can adjust the focus and I need to walk behind the camera again to turn the focus assist off and walk back again to stand in front and I need to make sure I stand in the same spot in front so the focus is still good. That’s frustrating.

The app interrupts

I’m only leaving a review because the app requested on. It’s 1-star because I don’t like being interrupted when working.

Misleading and Disappointing

cgtreadw on

United States

I downloaded “Bluetooth+ for blackmagic” expecting it to support a different product with the same name. The app is extremely misleading in its description and functionality. After realizing it wasn’t what I needed, I requested a refund, which was flatly refused. I am highly dissatisfied with this experience and will never purchase anything from this developer or any associated products again. Avoid this app if you don’t want to waste your money.

Some issues with Cinema 6k

Marco_Raba on

United States

Camera would record but I could not stop recording . The only way to stop it is if I went into playback, but the playback didn’t have a play button or a way to get out of the playback so I kinda just got stuck in playback. So the only way to go back to live view was to go out to the arm car snd go back into live view . But I ended up using the DJI app to run still and if I needed to change camera settings use this app .

APP KEEPS DISCONNECTING

Oheneba@77 on

United States

What might be the problem? I keep getting disconnecting issues!! Any know issues? I have the app running on iphone 14 Pro Max IOS 17.3.1

App on Apple watch

zanyblac on

United States

Hi, cant seem to get the app on my watch, maybe I am doing something wrong? Any assistance would be much appreciated. Great app, looking forward to using it for my shoot in a few days.

No live view

Couch fest films on

United States

It’s a smooth working app but it does not let you look at your footage. It’s just let’s you control all the features—just no live view or ability to watch your footage within the app. Otherwise a good app.
