About

Director Board

Features
Read full description

Turn any set of smartphones into a professional multi-camera setup — 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 — exactly like a real film set. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT Most multi-camera apps require recent flagship devices — 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) — 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 — 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: • Unlimited recording time • Up to 4 simultaneous cameras • $9.99/month or $79.99/year Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

The five calculations every camera department runs daily — built the way a cinematographer thinks, not as spreadsheet rows. All of them free with any CamPlot account. MEDIA How many hours fit on that card? Pick from dozens of real cameras — ARRI, Sony, RED, Canon, DJI, GoPro — with their actual recording formats and data rates, choose a frame rate and card size, and read the answer off the card itself. DEPTH OF FIELD A live photographic preview, not just numbers. Pick a scene, roll focal length, aperture, and distance, and watch focus fall off in real depth — pinch the frame to reframe and the focal length rolls with you. Add a second person staggered behind your subject and see exactly when they drop out of focus. Near, far, total, and hyperfocal always on screen. SENSOR SIZES Any sensors drawn to scale, nested and dimensioned — from a GoPro to full frame to 65mm. Settle the crop-factor argument with a picture. EXPOSURE Four interlocking dials — ISO, aperture (f or T), shutter (angle or speed), and ND (variable, hard, or stops) — that balance each other like a real camera. Lock what's fixed, roll what you're changing, and watch the free dial land on the answer in third-stops. SUN AND MOON Stand where you plan to shoot and see the day's light: the sun's path across the sky, the direction every shadow falls, and how long they are at any hour. Pick any future date to plan a scout, switch to the moon for a night exterior, and save a scout card straight to your photos. FREE, WITH ANY ACCOUNT All five tools, every control, at every level — including the free one. Create a CamPlot account and they are yours: no trial, no card, nothing to expire. One account across the Calculators, the Director's Viewfinder, and all of CamPlot at camplot.studio. WHAT A SUBSCRIPTION ADDS CamPlot Plus adds the full Director's Viewfinder — every cinema camera body, your own lens kits, a library of 200+ cinema LUTs you can export for your camera, sun path over the framed shot, and LiDAR distance — plus private markup and PDF export on plots shared with you. CamPlot Max adds building and sharing your own multicam camera plots, cloud storage, and live crew collaboration. SUBSCRIPTIONS CamPlot Max: $49.99/year or $4.99/month. CamPlot Plus: $29.99/year or $3.99/month. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase.
