## Focus Puller Description
Any Blackmagic camera that allows a Bluetooth connection and a lens that allows the camera to control the focus will work with this app and one of its two focus control solutions.

All of the features can be tried for free for an unlimited time.

MANUAL MODE 
Manual Mode will work with any iOS device and solves a common problem when using stills lenses to shoot moving pictures: a limited focus throw. Using this app, the focus throw can be extended, allowing precise control to match that of a lens designed for a movie camera. Markers and optional haptic feedback allow the focus puller to feel when the focus reaches a set point without having to look at the image, making the experience closer to a traditional focus puller.

LiDAR FOCUS CONTROL
LiDAR Focus Control is available for iOS devices that have a LiDAR scanner. After calibration, point the device at any subject and the app will instantaneously measure the distance using LiDAR and calculate the focus value for the camera.

Both of these solutions mean the focus puller can stand and operate separate to the camera operator.

## Focus Puller Reviews in United States

### ***-- "This app could be five stars, but it's not quite there yet"
I am SERIOUSLY urging the developer of this app to return to this app and upgrade a few things here and there

Using the camera for face detection (similar to the DJI lidar system), allowing for you to virtually offset the point that the focus is looking at in 3D space, essentially allowing you to place the lidar without needing it to be exactly parallel with the lens to function properly, and maybe a more guided calibration process

obviously that's a lot to develop, but I would seriously be willing to pay upwards not $100 for an app that does that stuff, easily.
-- i'm eden, 2024-09-18

### **--- "Bluetooth connection not working"
I was super excited to use this app but when I connect my camera… nothing works. I try to change the focus value and nothing changes on my camera. It’s very frustrating. Please let me know if there’s a fix as I spent the money and would love to use this app.
-- Ebayloverboy69, 2024-02-21

### ****- "Incredible app"
You can spend several hundreds of dollars and get a dedicated LiDAR device, or $12 and get this. It’s as simple as that. This app is certainly a little rough around the edges, but now means I can enjoy perfectly tracked dolly or Steadicam shots where before I needed to have a dedicated focus puller on the shoot.
-- Fmonaky, 2023-09-17

### *---- "POORLY MADE"
NOTHING IN THIS APP WORKS!
-- let me write omg, 2023-04-16

### *---- "Not working"
Not working I have an iPhone XR and bmpcc 6 k pro with sigma 16-35mm and it doesn’t work even if the connection is good.
-- jack12345678990, 2023-04-15

### **--- "Needs work"
I love the AB focus pulls.  However, I don’t know if it’s my Sigma 18-35 or the app but most of the time the focus pull is far from accurate.  Set a good A or B point, then hit the play to focus and it is way out of focus.  But then sometimes it works.

Also, the lidar reports wildly different distances (iphone 13 pro max.). Ill focus on something 6 meters away, focus on something closer then go back to the 6 meters and it’ll say it’s 1.5 meters or 8 meters or 4 meters.  This is pointing at a focus sheet.

The AB pull might be worth it if you have time to set it up several times in order for it to start working correctly.  The one remaining issue is that the pull is instant.  There is no option for a slow, cinematic pull.  

The tech in this app has some promise but right now it’s not worth the purchase price or, really, free.
-- GalinMcMahon, 2022-12-23

### ***-- "It works but it does NOT remember any of the marks when you restart."
Very disappointed. How hard could it be to remember what your settings were?
-- steve kirsch, 2022-11-22

### ***** "Works! Update your cam!"
Works pretty good. Just make sure you update your camera’s firmware and you should be good. 👍
-- Kevin James Bond, 2022-08-21

### *---- "Does not work"
I have a bmpcc 4k with a Viltrox adapter and a Sigma 18-35mm and it doesn’t seem to work. I did pay for the full version. I believe it might be the adapter’s fault but I’d like some help.
-- Mrnoob3110, 2022-08-08

### ***** "Please make for Panasonic"
I’d pay $50 for this app working on Panasonic cameras
-- amogus bobby, 2022-08-03
