## What is Blackmagic Camera Control?

### 1/5 — iPad mini 4 os 15.8.4

*2025-04-07, version 1.2*

Нет коннекта. Камера генерит пароль, а приложение не выдаёт поле для ввода пароля

### 1/5 — Not Working

*2025-03-03, version 1.2*

I don’t see my iPhone and iPad BlackMagic Camera. Screen stay at searching device once opened.

### 1/5 — iPhone App is much better

*2024-12-30, version 1.2*

I have the Blackmagic camera app on my iPhone and it is excellent and perfectly controls every function on my camera (4K) including focus. I assumed iPad app would be the same, but it’s not. It has very limited controls and does not permit focus (which the phone apps does). It seems odd to me there is such a difference between the two. Am I missing something? Is there a paid version I should be aware of?

### 3/5 — Needs an update

*2024-11-12, version 1.2*

Currently not working properly with any of the new Cine cameras and the Pyxis. ISO ranges display incorrectly. No ISO 800 available on the new URSA Cine LF

### 1/5 — Needs an update

*2024-11-07*

Currently not working properly with any of the new Cine cameras and the Pyxis.

### 1/5 — Fail

*2024-03-19, version 1.2*

For all the money spent black magic you could at least update your only software to work with the current firmware.

### 1/5 — Зависло намертво 😨 на iPad Pro 10,5

*2024-03-08, version 1.2*

После установки программы на iPad Pro 10,5 при первом запуске программа зависла намертво… Танцы с бубном не помогли 😰
Пришлось удалить
