Mountain Mag Cam is a camera app built from the ground up for digiscoping. It's made to help you capture, share, and relive your most epic moments in the wild. Pick the lens you want and zoom all the way in and out without the camera switching lenses on you. It stays locked where you put it. Study your footage frame by frame, save your favorite settings so they're ready next time, and open straight into the app with the Camera Control button. Every photo and video saves right to your camera roll. Then there's Stasis. It's a one-of-a-kind, patent-pending stabilization algorithm, the first ever built from the ground up for digiscoping. Stasis Active Stabilization steadies your footage in real time as you shoot. Stasis Post Stabilization smooths out footage you've already captured. Both run right on your device, so they work anywhere, even with no cell reception. The epic moments don't wait. Never miss one again. Built in Bozeman, Montana by Epoch Outdoors. Mountain Mag Cam is free to download, and every feature is completely free to use. Saving your stabilized footage is the only thing that requires a subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase, and renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
