Turn your iPhone into a wireless virtual camera for Adobe After Effects and Blender. Move your phone to control the 3D camera in real time, and record keyframes by physically walking through your scene. Phone Cam Controller is the companion app for the free Phone Camera Control plugin for After Effects and the free Phone CamController add-on for Blender. Your computer and iPhone find each other automatically over Wi-Fi — no IP addresses, no pairing codes, no setup. NEW: BLENDER SUPPORT The same live preview, motion control, and keyframe recording you know from After Effects now work with Blender too. Install the free add-on, click Start Server in the Phone Cam sidebar, and your iPhone connects automatically. LIVE PREVIEW ON YOUR PHONE See your After Effects composition or Blender scene camera streamed to your phone in real time. Walk around the room, check framing, show a client — all without rendering. 6DOF CAMERA CONTROL Full six degrees of freedom — position (X, Y, Z) and orientation (pan, tilt, roll) — driven by your phone's motion and AR sensors. The camera on your computer mirrors your physical movement precisely. ONE-TAP & CONTINUOUS RECORDING Single-tap the shutter to drop a keyframe at the current time. Press and hold to record continuously — the host captures your motion frame by frame as real keyframes, creating smooth, natural camera animation. CAMERA SETTINGS FROM YOUR PHONE Control zoom (focal length), focus distance, aperture, blur level, and depth of field directly from your phone. Changes apply to the camera in real time. TIMELINE CONTROL Play, pause, scrub, step, and jump to start or end — all from your phone. No reaching for the keyboard mid-take. MULTI-PHONE SUPPORT Connect several phones at once. Each phone drives its own camera — perfect for scouting multiple angles or collaborating with a team. ZERO CONFIGURATION The plugin and app discover each other automatically via Bonjour/mDNS on your local network. Just open both and they connect. REQUIREMENTS • Adobe After Effects 2024 or later, OR Blender 4.2 or later (macOS, Windows, or Linux) • The free Phone Camera Control plugin (After Effects) or Phone CamController add-on (Blender) • iPhone and computer on the same local Wi-Fi network (5 GHz recommended) FREE TO USE The app is free with all features included. Recording keyframes uses Ad Credits (30 free on sign-up); watch a short ad to earn more, or upgrade to Ad-Free with a one-time in-app purchase for unlimited, ad-free recording. Everything else — streaming, camera control, camera settings, timeline, multi-phone — is unlimited and free. Your composition and scene data are streamed locally over your own Wi-Fi and are never uploaded to any server.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Teleport at 4.3 against Phone Cam Controller's 3.0. Teleport also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (598 vs 2). Phone Cam Controller's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 32%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Teleport sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month and Phone Cam Controller sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Teleport holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Teleport has 598 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 32% of Teleport's written reviews are positive against 50% of Phone Cam Controller's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and November 9, 2026 respectively.
