Cavo Camera vs ProCam Instrument

Your iPhone. Your cinema camera. Choose the motion you want. Cavo handles exposure, gives you manual control when you need it, and lets you preview your look without changing the recording. Smarter auto Set your frame rate and shutter angle. Shutter-priority auto adjusts exposure around those settings. On compatible cameras, Aperture Priority holds your chosen aperture while Cavo adjusts exposure. Keep exposure and white balance adjusting as you shoot, or lock them when recording starts. Manual when you want it Control ISO, shutter, focus, and white balance from the viewfinder, with manual aperture control on compatible cameras. Check audio levels, available recording time, grid, and horizon level without leaving the camera. Choose shutter angles from 30° to 360°, or use supported longer exposures for more motion blur at a lower recording frame rate. Pick your format Record in H.264, HEVC, or supported ProRes formats. Choose Apple Log, Apple Log 2, HDR, and real open gate when your iPhone and active camera format support them. Recordings are QuickTime MOV files. Microphone access is optional. Cavo records silent video when access is off. See your look. Keep your master. Import .cube LUTs to preview color while you shoot. Monitoring leaves the recorded master unchanged. When you're ready, Quick Grade creates a separate graded HEVC Rec. 709 MOV export and preserves your original. Save where you choose Record to Photos, App Files, a folder you select, or compatible external storage. Optionally save the recording location with your videos. Quick Grade preserves location tags in graded copies, too. Your camera. Your recordings. No account, ads, or analytics. Your recordings stay in the destination you choose. Requires iOS 17 or later. Available codecs, color modes, resolutions, frame rates, lenses, stabilization, and external recording depend on your iPhone, iOS version, and connected hardware. Apple Log 2 and dynamic 4:3 capture require iOS 26 and compatible hardware. Manual aperture control and Aperture Priority require iOS 27 or later and compatible cameras.

ProCam Instrument is a manual camera for people who already know what they want the picture to be. THE NUMBERS ARE THE INTERFACE ISO, shutter, white balance, exposure, focus and iris sit live above the shutter. Touch one and it comes off automatic onto a ruler that stops where the sensor stops — so what you dial is what the hardware can actually do. Pin the shutter and it is shutter priority; pin ISO too and it is manual, with the meter's needle showing how far off you are. WHAT IS WRITTEN IS YOUR CHOICE One control decides the file: HEIF, JPEG, Apple ProRAW, or Bayer RAW straight off the sensor with Apple's processing switched off. Or develop it with ProCam's own scene-linear pipeline — wavelet denoise, guided-filter tone mapping, halo-limited sharpening — and merge a bracket into one frame with multi-frame RAW fusion. MEASURE, DON'T GUESS Histogram, RGB parade, waveform, vectorscope, focus peaking, zebras and false colour all run on the GPU against the live signal. A focus magnifier punches the monitor in while you set focus. Frame guides, safe areas and anamorphic desqueeze change the viewfinder and never the file. FOR MOVING PICTURES Apple Log and Log 2, HLG, ProRes and ProRes RAW where the hardware offers them. Clip naming, QuickTime timecode, slate metadata, clip length and size limits that roll into the next clip, pause and resume, markers you can drop mid-take, a proxy copy, pre-roll that keeps the seconds before you pressed record, and a clean feed on a second screen. DRIVES A BODY WOULD HAVE Exposure and focus bracketing, focus stacking, an intervalometer, long exposure that builds in front of you, a night stack, and a star-trail mode that keeps the brightest each pixel has ever been. EVERY LENS, EVERY FEATURE The back lenses are one camera: changing focal length ramps the zoom instead of tearing the session down, so a lens change works mid-recording and nothing is gated on which lens you are on. Settings → System → Camera Capabilities reads every capability off the hardware at runtime and tells you what this iPhone can and cannot do — no guessing from the model name. THE REST A gallery with a metadata inspector that shows what the file actually says; a non-destructive editor with curves, HSL, colour grading, masks and lens corrections; Siri and Shortcuts; Lock Screen and Control Center capture; a second iPhone as a remote; and a hardware self-test that sets every control, reads it back from the sensor, and reports what passed. PRIVACY No accounts, no analytics, no advertising, no third-party SDKs. Nothing leaves your iPhone. Location is written into a photo's EXIF only when you switch Location Tagging on.
