Focus Puller

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 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.

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.

NOTHING IN THIS APP WORKS!

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.

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.

Very disappointed. How hard could it be to remember what your settings were?

Works pretty good. Just make sure you update your camera’s firmware and you should be good. 👍

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.

I’d pay $50 for this app working on Panasonic cameras
