This App is a game changer for all Phantom Camera operators and technicians.

Wirelessly control any Phantom Camera by Vision Research through your iPhone or iOS device via a Wifi router through the camera's Ethernet port.

Breath new life into older Phantom Cameras with amazing control like never before.

From the "Record Page"  
Easily access necessary functions like Record, Trigger, Black Reference, OSD, view important camera information, and quickly connect to your camera.

From the "Playback Page"
Experience incredibly agile playback functionality, set in and out points and save clips.

In the "Menu Page" 
Adjust the most commonly used settings like fps, shutter angle, white balance, etc...

Send Telnet Commands from your phone via the built in Telnet Function

Never use a PC to control a Phantom again!

Download iPhantom for free to access a handful of functions and to test your connection.  Unlock complete functionality through in-app purchase.

Setup is easy.  There are many palm-sized Wifi routers on the market that can be powered through USB, and even some with built in battery, that can be connected to your Phantom camera through its Ethernet port.  USB power can be provided by a small portable USB battery or by using an adapter cable like PTap to USB.  Just connect your iOS device to that Wifi signal, open iPhantom, and click "Detect IP" then click "Connect".  See the built in Quick Start Guide or www.iPhatomApp.com for more information on setup.

Visit us at www.iPhantomApp.com, where we will soon offer hardware accessories like preconfigured Wifi routers and short length Phantom to Ethernet cables.

iPhantom should work with every Phantom Camera, but has been thoroughly tested with the following cameras:
      Flex4K, VEO4K, Flex2K, Miro, v10, v12.1, v2511, v2512, v642

Requirements:
   A Phantom Camera by Vision Research
   A Phantom Network Cable, aka Phantom to Ethernet Cable
   A Wifi Router
   A Power Source for Wifi Router
   An iOS Device with Wifi capability
