PROFESSIONAL TIME-LAPSE. COMPLETE CONTROL. ReeLapse is a professional time-lapse and hyperlapse camera for iPhone, created for photographers and filmmakers who want complete control over capture, image quality, and post-production. Record finished videos in MAX or 4K, or switch to the new RAW mode to preserve every frame as an individual DNG file. — RAW TIME-LAPSE — RAW mode captures complete DNG image sequences and saves them to the ReeLapse folder in the Files app. Bypass the standard processed image stream and unlock maximum flexibility to recover highlights, refine exposure and white balance, apply precise color grades, or edit any frame as a standalone photograph. Transfer your sequence to Mac or PC and build your final time-lapse in apps such as Lightroom, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, or LRTimelapse. RAW capture also opens the door to advanced day-to-night and night-to-day “Holy Grail” workflows. — THREE CAPTURE MODES — • MAX: Capture the full width and height of the sensor for detailed 4:3 open-gate output and greater freedom to reframe in post. • 4K: Create ready-to-share 3840 × 2160 video in a cinematic 16:9 aspect ratio. • RAW: Capture individual DNG frames for maximum image quality and post-production control. — PRECISION WITHOUT THE GUESSWORK — The intelligent Time-Lapse Dashboard calculates capture duration and final video length in real time. Choose up to 6000 frames, set intervals from 0.5 to 60 seconds, and see exactly how every adjustment affects your result before recording. Select output frame rates up to 60 fps, choose Apple ProRes or HEVC on compatible devices, and fine-tune the bit rate for the ideal balance between quality and file size. Optional backups can also save a duplicate video or the individual JPEG frames. — FULL MANUAL CONTROL — Lock or manually adjust ISO, shutter speed, focus, and white balance to prevent distracting exposure jumps, focus changes, and color shifts. Use tap-to-focus, manual focus, focus peaking, a live histogram, and zebra stripes to check every detail before you start. Prefer simplicity? Leave any control untouched and ReeLapse keeps it in Auto. — GPU-POWERED SLOW SHUTTER — Create fluid Motion Blur for clouds, traffic, crowds, and moving scenes, or build striking Light Trails from cars, city lights, and stars. ReeLapse’s custom frame-stacking algorithms run entirely on your iPhone’s GPU, with a live preview that lets you see and refine the effect during capture. — APPLE WATCH REMOTE — Start and control your time-lapse remotely from your wrist, helping you avoid disturbing a carefully framed shot. ReeLapse 2.1 features a refined interface with Liquid Glass styling, fully optimized for iOS 26. Transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. Turn the passage of time into art with ReeLapse. *RAW mode creates DNG sequences for external post-production and does not render a finished video in-app. Slow Shutter effects are available in MAX and 4K modes, not RAW. On iPhone SE, only full-resolution capture is supported. On older iPhone models, Slow Shutter modes may increase memory usage. — GET IN TOUCH — • Ideas, questions, or feature requests: support@reeflexstore.com • News and updates: reeflexstore.com/pages/newsletter • Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and X: @ReeflexCamera • Share your work with #ShotWithReeLapse — TUTORIAL — • Tips and techniques: https://reeflexstore.com/pages/reelapse-tutorial • FAQs: https://reeflexstore.com/pages/reeflex-apps-faq — ADMIN — Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://reeflexstore.com/pages/privacy-policy Intellectual Property: All logos and trademarks used in this listing are the property of their respective owners.
