No more over-exposed and over-saturated videos. This app allows you to record 4K and HD videos with a flat, log color profile, which can be used in color correction software (not included in the app). It allows you to get more control over color tones and better exposure. It records in a wider dynamic range with flattened colors, so that you have maximum control in post-production. Do the colors look grey and washed out? That’s exactly the intention. The videos are captured with a log profile, meaning low contrast, low saturation and extended exposure range. You get up to 2 stops of extra dynamic range, preserving highlights and shadows ! Recorded videos must be corrected with editing tools, such as DaVinci Resolve, Adobe Premiere, AVID Media Composer and Final Cut Pro. In grading, you should boost saturation, add contrast and lift the gamma curve. You can also use LUTs (for Sony, Panasonic, RED, Canon or Blackmagic), to see which preset color correction looks best on your shots. Record in 24, 25 or 30 frames per second. Select 4K or HD resolution. Choose from 5 flat color profiles: OFF, CINE, M-LOG1, M-LOG2, M-LOG3 Focus, ISO and exposure are automatically adjusted.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Flat Color Camera at none against Tacticam's 1. Flat Color Camera also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 26.0). Tacticam's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 74 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
