Just an Artemis imitation

I used this app on the advice of another DP. I was told it was better than Artemis, which I have been using for years now. They were wrong. Cadrage is basically a blatant copy of Artemis, just not as comprehensive. It seems that every new feature added in Artemis is soon copied by the Cadrage developers. I think I’ll stick with Artemis.

Great app

It helps a lot when you are location scouting and doesn’t need to bring your camera and lens!

Great app

Stable app, very useful to get accurate framings with different setups, make notes, get gps infos…

Sleek and intuitive. Plus the addition of the AR sun tracking is a blessing. 100% recommanded

Response from developer

Thank you for your kind review! 🤩

Great app

Indispensable for my work

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.

This is a grate app. But, ....

This is a grate application.

Thank you for your review!

Lack of essential features

The App does not support vertical orientation, it forces you to work horizontally all the time. This already significantly limits the possibilities of framing your scene. What’s even worse, it doesn’t sync among other devices, for example it won’t sync your library from the iPhone, which you’re most likely be using to capture the scene because if it’s superior camera system, to the iPad version of the App, which would be the best option to evaluate the results. As judging the frame effectively on a tiny phone screen is close to impossible the lack of this feature hugely limits it’s usefulness. Both issues have been reported to the developer years ago with none of them having been addressed so far…

Thanks for the honest feedback, and you are right on both points. Portrait support and sync are real gaps, and we understand your frustration. iCloud sync is currently under active development. Thank you for still sticking with us, and feel free to reach out to us anytime at support@cadrage.app.

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.

Love this app!

Excellent! Just does everything perfectly

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.

Use it every day

I am a camera Op in Chicago. I use this app every day on set. 10/10

Full belter

Invaluable!!!

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

Response from developer

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 kind review!

Great App

Easy and convenient to check film framing on my phone with this app. I can scout locations and figure out lens choices ahead of time. Perfect!

Fantastic!

I’ve used this for years, and it’s an absolute time-saver, especially on location scouting shoots
