Sidus Link for iPad

This is a great app and I enjoy using it, and with that it deserves a 5 star review. Only thing that can make this app better is Split View compatibility!

looks good to connect our 600d, but why can’t I connect the Internet using WiFi? Can’t even pay for the floor plan feature. Sigh… Anyone has the same issue?

would be much more useful if it could be automated with shortcuts

Non existent customer support. I paid for the subscription but for some reason I still don’t have access to the paid features. I sent them 2 emails, the first one 6 days ago and the 2nd one yesterday, but I haven’t heard back yet. Very frustrating.

I purchased Sidus Link so that I can use their diagram master tool and it’s fair to say I’m very disappointed. The diagram master has a fundamental flaw to its design that makes it near unusable because of how inefficient it functions. The sensitivity of the touch screen to move around the page makes it near impossible to click on items and move them around. Itook me over 5 minutes to expand the “wall” as it wouldn’t click on it and instead it just moved around the page. I got so frustrated I stopped using the app altogether and deleted it. Please fix this issue. I’m sad I wasted money on a tool that I can’t even use. If you’re looking to purchase Sidus Link so that you can use the overhead master tool, look elsewhere.

We’ve been Sidus Link users since 2020 when we bought our first Aputure lights, and have exclusively used Sidus Link as our lighting control app since then through 5 union feature films and several commercials in between. With every update Sidus has improved connection and connectivity, and the current version of the app is very robust and reliable. We use a Bridge that stays Velcro’d to our iPad and we use that unit as the master control unit. We never shut down the Sidus app while we’re on set. We also make sure every light has the latest firmware. If you do these three things, you will have a very reliable Sidus experience. The users who are having trouble with their Sidus Link are likely doing two things: Quitting and relaunching their app frequently, or walking away from their master control unit and losing connection to their master controller. If you utilize a Sidus Bridge, make it the master controller and keep it with your tablet or device, you will have a much better experience. Open the app, connect to your master controller, and don’t quit the app. It’s that simple. Smallfoot Lighting

This takes my Aputure lights to the next level. CC groups is awesome and there are so many great innovations on this app.

Absolutely love this app. It has the cleanest UI for wireless lighting control on the market. But honestly my favorite feature is diagram master. I’m a huge fan of lighting breakdowns and this is the best tool I’ve found for the job. It will even calculate the power draw from the lights for you. It’s a really handy tool to keep around for location scouts to effectively communicate a lighting plan to your team. It’s become an essential part of my workflow.

I've tried a lot of lighting control apps, but non have been as powerful as Sidus Link. The Diagram Master and Magic Infinity FX features are particularly impressive!

This app is great. I love that I can set up a few lights, click on the app on my iPad, and create a few groups easily and adjust colours and intensity. I do not expect this app to replace my gaffer and a grand MA console, I do not expect this app to replace a 500 dollar iPad lighting console app, I don’t expect to add in other brands. I also am happy I can use the app without having to create seven universes, program dmx, use my computer science degree to get color and saturation working. Love this app. Love it for what it is. So happy this is a quick down and dirty way to simply and easily control the apurture lights.
