Outstanding

I use this regularly, and love the functionality I’ve come to rely on during scouting. What finally pushed me over the edge to write a review is the new sun location feature. It was remarkably well designed.

Pro Tool for Cinematographers

This app is a must have for any working DP.
From scouting and prep the workflow is essential in any production.
On set this is the go to app to view and block any scene with reliable and easy access to many camera / lens pairings.
Worth the small price considering its wide application.

A great tool

The Sun information is a great addition to the app. However, the graphical information is only visible when the Sun is actually in shot. If you are looking through the viewfinder and the Sun is above or outside the frame, the app indicates its position, but once the image is recorded, that information is no longer shown.

This makes the feature far less useful, as most people will not usually be filming directly into the Sun. It would be much more practical if the recorded image retained an indicator showing the Sun’s position outside the frame.

It would also be very useful to display the sunrise and sunset times.

Винтажные объективы Cooke

Отличное приложение! Было бы еще лучше, если получится добавить камеру Blackmagic pocket cinema camera Original (BMPCC OG) и два винтажных объектива с байонетом c-mount: Cooke Kinic 1inch (25mm) f/1,5 и Cooke Anastigmat 15mm f/2,5

Fantastic app

I have never left a comment on the app store even after many years of owning an iphone. This Cadrage app is one of the best app I had the pleasure of interacting with. A++

Really nice app.

I’ve only just started using this app, and there are several things I really like about it, like the number of camera & lens options. Setting it up to be a faithful reproduction of the images I will get from my Canon C 500 Mark II using Canon prime lenses was easy. It’s also easy to add custom focal lengths, but I didn’t find a way to name the custom lenses, like our newly acquired Russian Helios. Perhaps I need to dig a little deeper.

One thing I hope they will add in upcoming versions, is a very quick, simple, and intuitive way to switch back-and-forth between the image library, and the camera, I have not found a quick way to do that. At this point, that is my only real complaint. I’ll try to leave an updated review, after I’ve used it on a large project.

I have several other, “directors finder,“ type apps, but at this point, Cadrage is my favorite.

Thank you for your review! I will add these lenses to our research list. For now, you could add them as custom lenses in the Sony G Master Primes lens series and add a custom lens series for the Sony G lenses. If you have any questions, please contact us via email (support@cadrage.app)!

ご不便をおかけして申し訳ございません。お手数ですが、お使いのスマートフォンの設定画面で、アプリがカメラを使用できる状態になっているかご確認ください。それでも問題が解決しない場合は、アプリを開き、設定内の「キャリブレーション」タブに移動してください。そこにある緑色のチェックマークをタップし、アプリがカメラ接続を再確立することを許可してください。それでもアプリに問題が生じる場合は、解決策を見つけるためメール（support@cadrage.app）にてお問い合わせください！
