A Camera App that gives you manual controls and seamless SANDMARC lens integration, built for photographers and videographers who want more than the default iPhone camera. BUILT FOR SANDMARC LENSES The native camera app has no idea what lens you have attached. The SANDMARC app does. Select your lens from the built-in Lens Selector, and the app immediately tells you exactly which iPhone camera to mount it to. No guessing, no trial and error. It also locks your zoom into the optimal range for that lens, keeping you out of digital zoom territory where image quality suffers. Full anamorphic lens support included, with corrected widescreen previews and automatic desqueeze for SANDMARC 1.33× and 1.55× anamorphic lenses. MANUAL CONTROLS, MADE SIMPLE Aperture, ISO, shutter speed, white balance, and exposure compensation are all accessible directly from the shooting interface. Tap to cycle through settings or press and hold to jump straight to the one you need. Swipe up or down on the slider to dial in your value. Double-tap to reset. Pro-level control without the heavy learning curve. PHOTO PROCESSING MODES Choose how your iPhone processes every shot: · Standard: Default Computational processing by Apple · Minimal: Natural Processing, fast with minimal computational interference · RAW: Full Sensor Data, maximum flexibility in post · ProRAW: Apple Computational RAW, best of both worlds VIDEO Record in HD or 4K with high frame rate options and full manual control over focus, shutter speed, ISO, and white balance. Choose your format and codec based on your workflow: · HEVC for smaller, shareable files · ProRes for professional editing pipelines · Apple Log for maximum flexibility in color grading · Open Gate recording for a taller frame with more room to crop · ProRes RAW direct to external SSD on supported iPhone PROFESSIONAL MONITORING TOOLS · Live Luma histogram and RGB histogram · False Color exposure overlay · Zebra warnings for highlight clipping · Focus peaking · Grid and leveler · Audio meters for video recording · Waveform monitor for video exposure DESIGNED FOR EVERY SHOOTER Whether you just picked up your first SANDMARC lens or you are an experienced mobile photographer and filmmaker looking for more control, the SANDMARC app was built with you in mind. Simple enough to pick up in minutes. Deep enough to grow with you. Download the SANDMARC Camera App and take creative control of every shot.

Plan a camera move once, then let the app run it for you — exactly the same way, every time. Pathset turns your iPhone into a director for your own gimbal camera: set waypoints of framing, zoom and timing, and the camera drives smoothly from point to point while it records. PROGRAMMED MOVES Set waypoints with time and zoom; Pathset drives the gimbal smoothly between them and starts the recording for you. REPEATABLE Save a move and run it again later — same framing, same speed, same timing. LIVE VIEW See what the camera sees while you set the points. TIMELAPSE MOVES Let the camera record a timelapse while the app moves the gimbal step by step. MEDIA Browse the clips on the camera, play them back and save them to your photo library. DIRECT & PRIVATE Pathset talks to your camera over its own local Wi-Fi/Bluetooth connection. No account, no cloud, no tracking. A camera is required to use the main features.
