-are the 4 this app has on it to use.

I’m ready for an update from this app. I love the app and I’m able to use my external flashes with my iPhone XS Max, but I wish this had an upgrade. Especially the format of the app. I see potential in this app, but it needs a 2026 good upgrade.

Please update this app

It needs has an update in (5) years! I love the app and I’m able to use my external flashes with my iPhone XS Max, but I wish this had an upgrade. Especially the formate of the app. I see potential in this app, but it needs a 2025 good upgrade.

このアプリがベスト!?

iPhoneで「オフライティングストロボ」をする選択肢は現在とても少ない(2つ?)様で、簡単さではこのアプリがベストかも知れない。
 因みに自分の撮影機材は、「iPhone 16 Pro Max」と「Tric-100」と「Godox685 II(N)ストロボ」等となるが、まず無料版の「TricCamLite」で出来なかった「ズーム撮影」については、結果的に本アプリでも出来なかった。しかし不思議なことに、ファインダー(iPhoneの)画面ではズーミング出来るので、ついOKかと思ったが、撮れた写真は全て「24mm画角」だった。(>_<)
 加えて、「ISO感度調整」は「TricCamLite」にもあるが、「ホワイトバランス」と「マニュアルフォーカス」の調整が出来る点は(「300円」以上の価値があると)評価したい(笑)。
 ただし、ホワイトバランスの数値を上げると「暖色系」に、下げると「寒色系」になるのは逆の様な気がする。(^o^;
 また、「シャッター速度調整」については、「1/2〜1/32000」まで可能な様だが、「1/30sec」固定でないとiPhoneとのストロボシンクロは難しいので、あっても意味はないかも知れない。
 この様に色々細かい問題があるものの、「マルチ発光」等のテクニックやスレーブ発光の複雑な設定をしなくても、「Mモードの単発発光」だけで簡単にそれなりの写真が撮れる点を評価して、少し甘いかも知れないが希少価値も加味して「星4つ」としたい。(ズーム撮影が出来たなら「星5つ」だったかも)
 なお参考までに、もひとつの選択肢となる「Godox X2TとGodoxPhotoアプリ」を使った場合との比較について、「TricCamLite」の書き込みの中で少し触れさせて頂いた。
 最後に、iPhoneの「純正カメラアプリ」で、外部ストロボを使えるように改訂して頂くのが最善の方法と切に思う次第です。

PS:本アプリをiPhoneにインストールして開いた時、画面は真っ黒で一切の操作を受け付けなかった。どうしたものかと思いつつiPhoneを「再起動」して再度トライしたら無事に操作画面が現れた。

It needs has an update in (4) years! I love the app and I’m able to use my external flashes with my iPhone XS Max, but I wish this had an upgrade. Especially the formate of the app. I see potential in this app, but it needs a 2024 good upgrade.

I LOVE IT.

I would love an update soon!
We’re on iOS 17 now, but the last time this app seem like it had an update was (3) years ago. I love this app. It works with my Neewer flash and it’s so easy to use. I wish I had more futures within the app. Please update the app for the iPhone XS Max. I’m using that phone still. Thank you.

I LOVE IT.

I got it today in the mail. Thank you so much. My iPhone XS Max works great with my attachable flash from Neewer. Please add a timer to this so I can say my phone cold shot on a tripod and have my own self photo shoot. Also, please touch up the Tric Cam camera app. The background have noise, but it could be me. I’m still learning everything. This is what I have been searching for for so long. I can let my canon t7i rest for a little while. Again, “Thank you”!

Not fully functional yet

I just received yesterday my Tric flash trigger purchased few days ago. Looks like a flash receiver but not a strong or sturdy unit, kind of cheap manufacture. Anyways, I downloaded the version lite of the app offering only ISO control to test if it would work with my iPhone 12 Pro Max and it did connect to my phone and triggered my flash; soot showed compatibility with the last iPhone and IOS 14.x versions. Took some shots and I had to adjust the flash power and distance to the subject as other system only operates on manual mode which I have no problem but the functionality of my 3 lenses was limited to only one. I installed then the paid version of the app and I did found the other controls, however these are my observations:
1- the app is not fast responsive to the touch gestures, it takes forever to move up and down the control menu.
2- only 1 camera can be operated and the zoom function does not work and this lack of functionality avoid using the great professional potential offered by the array of cameras that this iPhone model offers.
3- when checking the photo just taken for feedback, it takes more than 30 seconds to appear in the screen instead of being instantaneous.
I think that there is a lot of potential with this device but it should start with an fully functional app that permits the full use of all the iPhone cameras, more responsive touch control, a better GUI with bigger buttons.
First is your update of the app and second a better construction of the actual trigger: the flimsy feeling will not attract advanced or professional users looking for a trusty and rugged device to carry on the field. The ability to create professional flash lightning with this app/device is very seducing but is has to be done right.

Doesn’t take advantage of the phone’s wide angle or zoom

The flash fires, which is great. It would be better if the TricCam was a more pro featured camera. If it could just work with the native camera in the phone it would be 100 times more useful.

Great concept, terrible execution

Purchased over a year ago, still waiting for an operational update for iPhone X. Fires the flash once in a while but can’t adjust all settings. Might have taken one usable shot by luck. $65 lost in better ways than this!

Doesn’t work - please continue development

I was super excited to try this out. I ordered the Tric Bluetooth flash trigger unit and hooked it up- but when I used the app to take pictures I was really disappointed. Yes, the flash is triggered by the shutter button, which was great- but I couldn’t make any adjustments in the TricCam app. For example, I tested each control slider: white balance, iso, shutter speed, etc. but none of these controls had any effect on the pictures! All the pictures come out the same: extremely blown-out. Also the app runs very very slowly... when you tap to review the photos -you must wait 10 -15 seconds, which is an eternity when you are trying to see what you just shot...
Ideally this company should make its flash trigger unit compatible with Apple Camera and other photo apps that are already highly refined. -don’t try to reinvent the wheel with your own camera app- just sell flash trigger units that work seamlessly with other apps!

Don’t get too excited.....

The app paired with the device without hesitation. That’s it. Shooting with iPhone X gives you NO access to any other function but ISO. Going to IOS settings gives you limited options. The flash fires, but only half the image is exposed. There is no way to adjust shutter within the app regardless of where I swipe on the screen. I am hopeful that the developer will seriously get to work on debugging the software. I see some good potential for this product if done so.

Test shot review

Cons :
1. Advanced options are hidden in Apple settings (but usually it’s almost a one time thing if always shot in manual mode, as I do)
2. Sync speed is to low for bright daylight shot (need a ND FILTER to cut down light)
3. No focus peaking.
Pros :
1. Support wireless transmitter to trigger multiple flash at once with one tricflash unit.
2. Easy simple user interface.
3. Capturing in RAW give better dynamic range and results (nothing new for advanced users)
4. Supports earphones triggers.
5. A great alternative to heavy camera and lens, if controlled correctly to give satisfactory quality and results on the move travel shots.

Will be testing the unit for a while now keeping aside my dslr and keep you all posted if something comes to mention.
P.S.: please introduce focus peaking , its gone help getting more predictable results 🙏🏼

うーん…

RAW設定をアプリで出来るようにして欲しい。そもそも設定画面を開くUIがない。
あと、Bluetoothのリモートシャッターが効かない。と言うか、音量調整は出来る。何故カメラを起動しているのに音のボリューム調整をしなければならないのか。意味がわからない。
課金しているのだから、もっと頑張って欲しい。iPhoneでストロボを使えるってのは凄く良いので、ホント頑張って!

使えないので購入は控えたほうがいい

このソフトと別売りのTRIC100を利用しています。はっきり言って使えない。フラッシュは光るが同調しない又は時々同調するが帯状の光が当たっていない帯が頻繁に出る。シャッタースピードを1/30にしても同じ状態。ソフトも高すぎる。何とかして!

iPhoneでストロボ撮影ができるけど。

TRIC100を使ってiPhoneで本格ストロボ撮影ができるけどアプリが使いにくすぎる。

・プレビューがISOなど各項目を動かしている時しか反映されない。
・ISOなど各項目の選択がフリックで使いづらい。
・各項目の数値が1段ずつしか表示されない。
・スライドバーのみで1/3段ずつ動かすのが困難。
・iPhoneのカメラライブラリに写真が多いとフォトボタンを押した時に読み込みに時間がかかるため撮影の確認に時間がかかる。
・RAWやグリッド設定がアプリからできない。

これで有料(カメラアプリの中では高い)は正直ひどい。他のカメラアプリをもう少し見習ってほしい。

Rip-off

These guys are the only ones I have seen that charge for an app that is required to make the device they sell work properly.

You pay for the device. Pay for shipping, which doesn't even ship when you order it, you have to wait for a "shipment", not because it will cost you less for shipping, just them.

And to get the feature that would make the device useful for anything other than snapshots, you have to pay for the app.

Shame

Zero extra features

The free, lite version has all the same features as the $5 version. The only reason I purchased was to have ability to adjust strobe timing. I like the concept of more features, but feel ripped off...

Makes Possible Off-camera Flash

By pairing this app and the Tric Flash strobe trigger that they sell for $45 plus $15 shipping I am able to use my studio and portable strobes with my iPhone, which I think is revolutionary since I couldn't find anyone else doing this. Three stars because the app is still very buggy. I encourage the developer to keep working out the bugs, which are annoying but the app is useable, and pairs effortlessly and automatically with the trigger. Don't bother with the app until you buy the trigger.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!

This app pairs with a Tric flash trigger (sold seperately) & crashes at start up.

I was excited to receive this, but, the broken app renders the unit worthless.

The app ran one time & stopped working. There was no place to color balance that I saw or to set shutter speed as the description says.

Since the app will not run, I cannot explore it any further.

Needs fixed as the trigger unit costs around $50 plus shipping.
