PanTiltZoom

I have been using this app for 3 years now and I must say this new update has saved my life. Thank you very much.

Ok. Basic ptz control - fine. But! There is no: shutter speed, iris control, white balance. Making this app not fully usable for proper production. The only easy solution is. Run ptz optics original app on PC and have this app on iOS as "joystick" with zoom and focus only. I would have rated 5* but some important functionality is just not there! Add on to the comment. Last updated 5y ago. :(

First the good: it's rock solid at what it currently does, i.e. providing basic motion control across a number of cameras and enabling pre-set scenes to be stored and recalled. What it doesn't do is allow any control over, or storage of exposure or colour settings. This would be fine, if it somehow talked to the desktop app, which allows adjustment and storage of a whole array of parameters, but it doesn't! This means that if you store exposure, colour and manual focussing settings in pre-sets on the desktop app during pre-production, these are completely ignored by this app, which just defaults to auto-everything. Unless I'm missing something, this means that this app is basically a non-starter for control in any serious context. Can I suggest an 'import pre-sets' function?

Great app for iPhone and iPad, great value and superb customer support from Justin. Thanks!

So after the layout being the same for many years, the update changed it and took a little while to get used to and I still forget at times. The response of the controls seemed to be good at the beginning, no issues there. Well, now that it’s been a little over a month since the update, the response of the controls have taken a major hit. There’s a delay in getting cameras to move but then once it does, there’s not a lot of control over the speed. It moves slow and then goes into fast mode. It doesn’t gradually increase the speed it moves based on how much I move the joystick. I’ve changed the manual tilt speed and it only affects the fast speed but doesn’t do anything for the gradual increase.

Have been using this app for a while and it was painful with lots of disconnections. Since the update, no more disconnects. And now able to make color corrections! Thank you to whomever made this update.

It’s true.

This app works as expected, for what it does it does it great. The only thing I wish could be added is the ability to see which of the 13 scenes was last selected for each of the 8 cameras - that would be incredibly helpful. We already have colored highlighting for each camera (gray for unselected, green for available/selected, and red for unavailable/offline), so why not add some colors for the scenes? Maybe a dark blue so it’s not too dominating visually. I guess also helpful would be larger directional buttons for the joystick. The 8 directional buttons are pretty thin and I’m often looking at my camera, not the iPad, as I press the buttons. My finger will drift off the thin bars and suddenly I’m no longer moving the camera.

I have been using the beta for several months now and whenever I have an issue, the developers are extremely quick to respond. While many features are only available in the beta, v1 is still robust and is the only thing that can compete with a hardware controller.

Inconsistent preset reliability. Will zoom to infinity at times with any preset. No updates in 4 years? Manual controls work as they should.
