  • Optional haptic feedback for focus points
  • LiDAR focus control for compatible devices
  • Remote operation from camera operator
  • Focus markers for precision

Control focus on your Blackmagic camera over Bluetooth using LiDAR (for auto-focus) or use a manual control. All of the features can be tested for free for an unlimited time. LiDAR FOCUS CONTROL LiDAR Focus Control is available for iOS devices that have a LiDAR scanner. Simply tap a subject on the iPhone screen, or draw a box around something, and the app will follow it and keep it in focus. REMOTE CONTROL Control LiDAR subject tracking using a second device such as an iPad and see a live video stream and the iOS focus device. Tap to track. MANUAL MODE  Manual Mode will work with any iOS device and solves a common problem when using stills lenses to shoot moving pictures: a limited focus throw. Using this app, the focus throw can be extended, allowing precise control to match that of a lens designed for a movie camera. Markers and optional haptic feedback allow the focus puller to feel when the focus reaches a set point without having to look at the image, making the experience closer to a traditional focus puller. Both of these solutions mean the focus puller can stand and operate separate to the camera operator.
