Great app, needs an update.

The iPhone 14 pro wide lens isn’t used so it’s masking more picture than needed

The Alexa35 is not in the camera packages.

Good app but needs more lens and format choices

This is a great app. And I’m sure they are on the way. But it needs more camera format, as well as lens choices. I’m on a show now were we are using Panavision Panaspeeds. They aren’t available in this app (yet). Hopefully soon. We are also shooting Arri Mini LF open gate 2:1. Which also isn’t an option in the app (yet). I was trying to get the DP and other Op onboard with it. But the lack of those things put them off for now. Hopefully there is an update soon. Great app with a lot of promise though.

Is this still being updated?

I love this app but it’s gone a year without updates now, including no support for ultra-wide cameras on the iPhone 11 and 12. Is it still being worked on?

Response from developer

Hi There! Just updating you again to let you know that as of version 1.4, all of the blackmagic cameras are supported, along with canon CN-E primes, and a generic set of lenses to form any set of focal lengths you like! ~Spenser

does not support iphone 11 super wide camera

the app is beautiful but when i switch to a wider lens (18 mm) the image is cropped with an arrow graphic filling the outer edges of the image. the iphone 11 camera covers that area but the app does not switch between cameras. this makes it basically useless.

iPhone 11 Pro Max lenses

Great viewfinder!! Is there any plan to update the app so it takes advantage of all the lenses on iPhone 11 Pro Max?

Response from developer

Hi there! Yes, I'm working on re-building it for the iPhone 11 Pro! It should be done early next year! Feel free to email me: spenser@mindvice.space if you want to chat about it, or have any suggestions! ~ Spenser
