FinderKit User Reviews

The most user intuitive and cleanest viewfinder out there.

I really do mean it when I say this is the best looking and intuitive viewfinder app out there. You can tell how much work and thought was put into it with just the UI alone.

This app is stable, fast, and simple to use. But that’s just the icing on the cake. What I really love about this app is the strong organization tools for saving shots and making them into projects. Other apps have this too sure but this app makes it way easier to do this and in less steps.

Another strong point for this app is the very detailed info for certain configurations. For example, if you choose the FX3 as your camera, you can then choose your frame rate and you will have the estimated bitrate when choosing certain resolutions, and codecs. Very nice!

If I can make any suggestions it would be to either integrate more lenses(for me Tamron) or give us the option to have hard limits for the focal ranges when choosing the Generic Zoom option. I don’t see a point in having an infinite range, yes it might be fast but I want to save detailed kits akin to what I have.

I wish the best for this Dev and am looking forward to use this app more and more!

This saved my shoot!

After struggling to lock the proper framing for a really pivotal scene, the finder kit worked to perfection. Thanks!

Great library of cameras and lenses!

Love the extensive library of cameras and lenses that let you really dial in your perfect field of view. The library of anamorphic lenses is especially useful.

Best available viewfinder app

Very nice interface. Easy to use. Comprehensive. Fast. Nice organizational tools. Works great with CameraKit and LensKit. Will definitely be my go to!

Easy

This app is almost too easy to use.

Intuitive, easy, clean yet robust

A lot more intuitive than other such apps. Interface is super easy to navigate (points for the introductory tips along the way).

It has everything I need for a scout or rehearsal. Even helpful when I’m on set and wanna feel something out before getting the whole camera position, move, and lens up and running.

Nice to have this tool in the tool belt!

Essential & Excellent Tool

This app is a perfect companion to the CameraKit and LensKit apps, and works wonderfully in unison with them. This allows you to select your camera and lens on a scout at a location to plan out the shots. You can even have a stand-in and work out the blocking in advance. Take pictures or video with all the relevant data. It’s awesome! Then on set you can still use it to block the shot and record a video of the planned camera move and blocking to ensure your camera team has an idea of what the shot is and what the camera and lens combination will do when the camera is placed for real in scene. Such an essential and excellent tool for planning your film/video production.

Easy choice

FinderKit has approached the viewfinder experience from the perspective of us, day to day filmmakers, and not programmers. It’s intuitive. It’s fast. It’s not feature heavy until you need it to be.

Everything I need to do, I can do without interrupting my on set flow.

Great attention to detail I came to expect from CameraKit and LensKit now branching out into viewfinder world!
