Description of Bluetooth+ for Blackmagic

-- 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.

Reviews of Bluetooth+ for Blackmagic

  • Buggy but useful

    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.
  • Some issues with Cinema 6k

    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 .

    Developer Response

    Should be fixed now. Sorry for the delay!
  • Disappointed

    I purchased this app for myself, 1st and 2nd AC for our upcoming feature. I even paid the $9.99 upgrade to connect with Tilta Nucleus for remote recording. We did a camera prep and test today and were very disappointed with the results. The app barely had 10 ft of bluetooth signal. We were hoping to use this app to trigger recording for when camera is on a jib or difficult to reach place. Very poor signal. The features are great but unfortunately only work when you are very close to camera which totally defeats its purpose.

    Developer Response

    Unfortunately as a developer I have no control over the hardware that Blackmagic chooses to use in their cameras.
