Tech Scout Camera vs CamPlot Director's Viewfinder

Tech Scout bypasses iOS’s computational photography pipeline by leveraging film industry post production color workflows and advanced film emulation tools, bringing an entirely new type of photography to your iPhone. A still camera with a motion picture camera under the hood. Accurately emulate all major motion picture cameras. Any look, any camera, right in your pocket. At Tech Scout’s core is its camera system. Motion picture image science and film emulation tools have been fully ported to run locally on device, without cloud compute or AI-assisted image processing. Apple's computational photography image pipeline is replaced by wide color gamut, ACES-derived log workflows, standardizing to the same image pipeline film industry professionals work with every day. Tech Scout has fully native image science support for the Arri Alexa and Alexa 35, the Sony Venice family of cameras, all modern RED Digital Cinema cameras, Fujifilm Eterna, DJI, Canon Log 3, and BlackMagic version 5 color science, as well as both Apple Log and Apple Log 2. All of these gammas/color spaces are available on all supported iPhone models, and can be accurately previewed live with the LUT of your choice using our unique Scout Viewfinder. Also included are Scout custom looks, pulled from Brook Willard's personal LUT library and tuned to the capabilities of the iPhone camera system. Scout's Film Emulation engine is Brook's own design; Tech Scout is the first public release of a previously internal tool developed for use on some of the largest motion pictures in history. Director’s Viewfinder: Load your show LUT and scout like you shoot. With a library of dozens of cameras, hundreds of record modes, thousands of lenses, and cinema camera image science, Tech Scout is a major step forward for phone-based directors viewfinders. And sharing projects is easier than ever. You can AirDrop, iMessage, or email your Tech Scout projects instantly, including not only your project settings but your custom show LUT as well. Sun Position: Every director’s viewfinder capture features a sun position visualizer, showing relative sun position, sunrise, sunset, and other critical metadata. Whether you’re a cinematographer, director, or locations, your viewfinder captures will carry enormously valuable information for your crew. Exposure Mode: Tech Scout’s exposure mode allows you to accurately measure scene exposure on your chosen camera system. With waveform monitors, false color, EL Zone, and both LUT and log preview of your project’s look, exposure mode is a quick and accurate way to judge scene dynamic range and light levels. Film Emulation Scout’s Film Emulation engine features motion picture quality film grain, halation, edge softening, glow, and dye layer light scattering. Camera Mode Tech Scout includes a fully-featured camera mode, with support for Bayer RAW capture, Apple ProRAW Capture, and Scout Pro mode on supported phones. Fully manual controls, LUT and film emulation support, burst mode, flash support, and every other feature that you would anticipate in a dedicated professional camera app. Love your favorite cinema camera’s look? Have a preferred LUT? Wish you had a film camera in your pocket? Tired of AI-assisted photography? Tech Scout’s camera mode is the tool you’ve been waiting for. Scout Viewfinder In order to accurately display Scout’s image science live onscreen, the Scout Viewfinder bypasses iOS’s camera preview altogether. Instead, Tech Scout captures and processes full-resolution RAW images in realtime and displays them live. This novel approach brings accurate look preview to the full range of supported iPhone models. Tech Scout is designed and engineered by cinematographer and former digital imaging technician Brook Willard. Tech Scout is a $19.99/year auto‑renewing subscription with a 7‑day free trial.

Hold up your iPhone and see the shot through the real camera. CamPlot Director's Viewfinder simulates professional cinema cameras and lenses with honest optics — the same tool built into CamPlot, as its own app. THE CAMERA, NOT AN APPROXIMATION Pick the body — ARRI Alexa, Sony FX6 and Venice, RED Komodo, Canon C-series, DJI Ronin 4D, and more — choose Full Frame, Super 35, or MFT, and set frame lines for 16:9, 2.35, 2.39, or 4:3. The image you see is computed from the real sensor geometry. YOUR LENS KIT ON A ROLL Swipe through your lenses on an endless roll — primes snap, zooms ride a focal-length wheel with real stops. Add your own primes and zooms, or sign in to CamPlot and your project's lens inventory appears automatically. A LUT LIBRARY THAT LEAVES WITH YOU Grade the image live with true 3D LUTs on the GPU: 200+ cinema looks in nine packs, plus your own .cube files. Press and drag the LUT dial to spin the whole library with the picture regrading under your finger. And every look exports for your actual camera — pick your log format and CamPlot composes the conversion, so what you saw on the phone is what you load into the camera. SUN PATH WHILE SCOUTING See the sun's arc drawn over your framed shot for any date, using your location and compass. Know exactly when golden hour lands where you want it — weeks before the shoot. LIDAR DISTANCE On Pro iPhones, a measure mode reads the exact distance to your subject — aim, tap, and get feet and inches. THE LIBRARY Every frame, take and room scan you have made, in one place — each with the readings that were live when you shot it: camera, sensor window, lens, ISO, shutter, aperture, white balance, LUT, bearing, horizon, distance and where you stood. Photos, videos and room scans on their own shelves. A shot takes the whole screen with its instruments riding on top — one tap clears them, one brings them back. SHOT LISTS Build a list, name every shot in it, and add rows for shots you have not taken yet. Export it as a PDF contact sheet: the frame, its name, its readings, and a QR code that opens where it was shot in Apple or Google Maps. CAPTURES THAT REMEMBER Every capture burns in the body, sensor mode, focal length, and heading, saves silently to a CamPlot album in Photos, and carries its full readings inside the file itself. FREE TO TRY The app runs free with a generic full-frame body and a demo lens range, so you can see the whole thing before deciding. CamPlot Plus or CamPlot Max unlocks every camera body, your lens kits, the LUT library and LUT export, sun path, LiDAR, and capture — one account across the Viewfinder, the Calculators, and all of CamPlot at camplot.studio. The CamPlot Calculators are free with any account, including the free one. SUBSCRIPTIONS CamPlot Max: $49.99/year or $4.99/month. CamPlot Plus: $29.99/year or $3.99/month.
