GRPS makes it easy to automatically start and stop location sync from your iPhone to your Ricoh GR III and GR IV cameras. Once the initial connection is made, the app will automatically wake up and start syncing whenever your camera is powered on with Bluetooth enabled within range of the iPhone – even in the background! This allows you to reliably get up to date location information in your images without having to interact with an app, set an explicit duration for location updates or excessively drain your iPhone battery. Basically, set it up once, then forget about it. GRPS also allows you to easily sync your photos to your phone library.
Oropod

Oropod puts your production's footage in your hands. Made for film and TV professionals, it turns the storage and services you already use into one fast, searchable library of dailies. No new silo, and no uploading everything one more time. FIND ANY TAKE IN SECONDS: Oropod understands how productions are organised. Find any clip by scene, shot, take number, shooting day or tag (including circled takes), and search notes and metadata from the script supervisor, camera and other sources. WORKS WITH WHAT YOU ALREADY USE: Connect Frame.io projects, network storage (SMB), and Blackmagic URSA cameras, and browse everything side by side. More integrations are on the way. ALWAYS AVAILABLE, EVEN OFFLINE: Oropod works from a local copy of your data. Auto-download clips and metadata so browsing, searching and playback keep working in a basement studio, on a remote location, or on a plane. When disk space runs low, Oropod frees it automatically. MADE FOR ON-SET USE: Native performance on iPad, iPhone and Mac. Group files by take, switch between take versions, compare notes, and play footage right where you found it. Browsing stays instant and out of your way, so you can focus on the work. PRIVATE BY DESIGN: Your media flows directly between your device and your own storage and services. You sign in to connected services on your device, credentials stay in your Keychain, and diagnostics never include personal data. See our privacy policy for details. WHO IS IT FOR: Directors, producers, editors, script supervisors, DITs, and everyone else who needs the footage at their fingertips: on set, in the production office, or in the cutting room. GETTING STARTED: Explore the built-in demo productions to see how Oropod works, then connect your own sources. Browsing network storage is free. Connecting third-party services such as Frame.io requires a subscription, with a free trial so you can make sure everything works for you. Oropod has been developed in close collaboration with working filmmakers and thoroughly tested on real productions. Questions or feedback?
