The ARRI Camera Companion for iPhone, iPad, and Mac with Apple Silicon enables you to configure your own personalized interface for remote control of one or multiple ALEXA 35, ALEXA Mini LF, ALEXA Mini, AMIRA, and ALEXA 265 cameras. Camera Companion is available as a Standard subscription that provides comprehensive control of camera functions or a Premium subscription that adds features such as MIDI support via physical control devices. The free Demo version offers basic camera control, camera menu access, and access to free Standard and Premium trial periods that let you familiarize yourself with the app before deciding which subscription is right for you. Control multiple cameras simultaneously In the Demo version you can control just one camera, while the Standard subscription lets you control one or two cameras at the same time, and with a Premium subscription the number of cameras is unlimited. Camera status overview The Demo version includes all commonly required status displays: timecode, codec, recording resolution, look file, ARRI Texture (ALEXA 35), lens data, frame lines, remaining media, last clip, power, battery, focus, iris, zoom, and active camera, while the Standard subscription also lets you change these settings. With the Premium subscription you additionally get CDL control and video parameter control (ALEXA Mini and AMIRA). Basic camera control In the Demo version of Camera Companion, you can control basic camera functions such as starting and stopping recording, as well as setting the exposure index, white balance value, and ND filter in use. Full camera control Almost all camera control parameters are accessible in the Standard subscription. In addition to the basic controls available in the Demo, they comprise playback, frame rate, shutter angle, prerecording, sensor flip, Web Remote, and frame grab. In the Premium subscription you also get sensor sync shift value and simple FIZ control with cforce lens motors. Camera menu access Camera Companion incorporates the well-established and familiar ARRI Web Remote, a browser-based tool that duplicates the camera menu interface. This ensures complete access not only to every camera function via the app, but every menu parameter as well. It is available in the Demo version and both subscriptions. Customizable app layout Once you’ve activated either a Standard or Premium subscription, you can simply drag and drop control tiles into a custom layout that suits your way of working, giving you fingertip control of whichever parameters you need. Infinite customizable user buttons With a Standard or Premium subscription, unlimited app user buttons can be freely assigned to literally any camera function you want and then dragged and dropped into your personalized layout. Multiple tabs for cameras or layouts You can organize and simplify your interface into several easily navigable tabs with a Premium subscription. You might want to create different tabs for different cameras or shooting situations, or assign a tab to playback control. MIDI support Perhaps especially useful to DITs, the Premium subscription enables MIDI support for tactile control via physical input devices.

Update: latest version of the app still need to call home when ever the iPad restarts. What are we supposed to do when we are out of reception? **Developer response:** Hello, I'm sorry that you had an issue using the app. We have integrated another fix in CCA 1.0.3 that should solve this subscription issue. Please update to this version. ### 5/5 — All good *2025-10-20* Thank you for the application, I'm really looking forward to when you add control with apple watch, and mirror amage h+v to the list of assigned keys ### 1/5 — Frustrated after beta testing for years *2025-06-24* Was a huge fan of the beta. Now frustrated with the subscription model. Not even a discounted offer for the beta testers who helped improved the app? ### 2/5 — 스텐다드 구독 서비스에대한 지원 기술이 부족함 *2025-06-15* 프리미엄 라인에서만 지원하는 룩업 세부조정이라던가 멀티캠 지원이 스텐다드와 프리미엄의 말도안되는 급나누기같음 특히 가격적인 면에서 ### 1/5 — Why *2025-06-10* Now we have to pay a subscription???? What happened to the beta? That was great! Sony Venice you don’t need any app or subscription. This is honestly total garbage, there’s no way that camera owners will pony up to pay, it’ll be the assistants and DITs. Just another cash grab! Thanks tor nothing!! Will be steering DPs towards Sony. ### 1/5 — 구독은 좀 너무하네요 *2025-06-02* 한국 카메라 기술스텝입니다. 구독은 너무 한거 같네요.. 사용하면서 이상있던것들에 관해서 피드백도 많이 했는데 일회성 결제도 아니고 구독이라니 참.. 기술스텝에게는 좀 그렇습니다… ### 3/5 — Overpriced *2025-05-22* Everything seems fine, but the price for the subscription... You don't want to make money on that! ### 3/5 — Can’t Open Properly without Internet *2025-05-20* Edit: 25.05.10 1.0.3 does resolve much of the problems with the subscription necessitating an internet connection. However, I still run into an issue where intermittent connectivity or a change in connectivity seems to have the app loose it’s “memory” of the subscription status. Any way to save this one time when it’s verified what the expiration date is and hold onto it so as to never necessitate an internet connection? Really makes this app unreliable. Edit: 25.05.07 Updated to 1.0.3 and the subscription status holds regardless of internet connectivity. Thanks! Still pretty expensive for a premium subscription. Edit: 25.04.28 Updated to 1.0.2. Still have an issue with the subscription not holding and everything going to the basic/demo mode. When it does switch from basic/demo to licensed mode (premium in this case), all the cameras are defaulted to A camera despite the project having 4 different cameras. So have to reset the slots with each camera. AppUB doesn’t behave as expected with MiniLF. Increase/decrease ND sometimes works or doesn’t. If I select 1.8 from the ND pop-up and then do an ND increase/decrease via and the AppUB, it would go to 0.6 Original post: 25.04.22 I’ve used Arri CC since beta and it’s great. However, with this official release, which I think is overpriced, you can not open it properly without an internet connection. On a show with 4 cameras and without an internet connection, it opens to the default 1 camera project. Once internet is present, then it will pen the project, albeit without my cameras properly laid out as I had them. This makes the app unusable as there’s no guarantee on set that you’ll have internet, contrary to common assumptions. **Developer response:** Hello, I'm sorry that you had an issue using the app. We have integrated another fix in CCA 1.0.3 that should solve this subscription issue. Please update to this version. Regarding the other issue, please use the 'Contact ARRI Service' function in the app to describe your problem. We will then try to solve the problem immediately. ### 4/5 — Can’t Open Properly without Internet *2025-05-07* Edit: 25.05.07 Updated to 1.0.3 and the subscription status holds regardless of internet connectivity.
