Shoot from every angle at the same moment - using only iPhones. SYNCAM turns a group of iPhones into one synchronized camera rig. One phone leads the session, the others join over the local network, and a single tap captures a photo or starts a video on every connected device at the same time. No cables. No external rigs. No cloud uploads to wait on. Made for the moments where one camera isn’t enough: β€’ Weddings and family events from multiple angles β€’ Sports, dance, and martial arts captured side-by-side β€’ Music videos, BTS, and short films without a film crew β€’ Real estate and product shoots with synced views β€’ Creator multi-cam content with built-in editing What you get β€’ Synchronized capture - clock-aligned shutter so the frames line up β€’ Photo and video modes - switch on the lead phone, all phones follow β€’ Live status from joined phones - see who’s connected and ready β€’ Session gallery - every shot from every device, grouped automatically β€’ Photo editor - pro LUT filters, brightness, contrast, saturation, color mix, highlights, shadows, sharpen, vignette, blur, and more β€’ Video editor - trim, filters, and adjustments β€’ AI multi-cam merge - combine clips with automatic angle switching β€’ Collage maker - 2 to 5 photos, many layouts (grid, side-by-side, big-left, 4 corners, cross, and more) β€’ One-tap share to Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok β€’ Save anything to your Photos library Why people choose SYNCAM β€’ Local network only - your sessions don’t leave your phones β€’ No accounts to create β€’ No rigs, mounts, or extra hardware β€’ Works with any modern iPhone you already own How it works 1) Open SYNCAM on the main phone and start a session. 2) Open SYNCAM on the other phones and tap to join. 3) Frame your shot, pick photo or video, then tap once. Every phone fires together. 4) Review the session, edit your favorites, and share. Permissions SYNCAM uses your camera, local network, and Photos library to capture, sync, and save.

About

Director Board

Features
Read full description

Turn any set of smartphones into a professional multi-camera setup β€” controlled from a single director's screen. Director Board lets you connect up to 4 devices as cameras and manage them all from one device: start recording, switch takes, and build your shot list β€” exactly like a real film set. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT Most multi-camera apps require recent flagship devices β€” they rely on built-in multi-lens hardware, which only exists on newer models. Director Board works differently: cameras connect over your local Wi-Fi, so any device from older models and up works as a camera. That old device in a drawer? It's a production camera now. HOW IT WORKS 1. Open Director Board on your controller device (iPad or main device) β€” Director mode. 2. On each camera device, open the app in Camera mode and scan the QR code or enter the room code. 3. Hit record. All cameras start simultaneously. Takes are saved on each device and organized in your Director view. BUILT FOR CREATORS Podcasters, YouTubers, interview filmmakers, event videographers β€” anyone who shoots multi-angle content without a full camera crew. Set up in under a minute. Record at 1080p. PRO SUBSCRIPTION Free plan includes 15 minutes of recording to try everything. Pro removes all limits: β€’ Unlimited recording time β€’ Up to 4 simultaneous cameras β€’ $9.99/month or $79.99/year Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
