Camera remote for Nikon & RED

$19.99 · Designed for iPad

Parallax 2.1: Accsoon SeeMo support, HDMI monitoring on iPad, layouts built for iPhone Duo, several REDs in Multicam, and much steadier USB and Wi-Fi connections. Parallax Monitor is a professional monitoring and camera-control app for Nikon Z and RED cinema cameras. It turns an iPhone or iPad into a field monitor and remote for video, stills, and timelapse, with LUT preview, HDMI monitoring, exposure and focus tools, multi-camera monitoring, and card playback. Designed for the Nikon Z-Series & Modern RED Cameras. EXPOSURE • X-Lights: Parallax's custom exposure algorithm, tuned for each camera's log profile • R3D & N-Log custom Guided Waveform, RGB parade, histogram, and vectorscope • False color, zebras, and X-Posts • N-Log-aware thresholds applied automatically when recording in N-Log • LUT preview with bundled N-Log and RED looks, or your own .cube files The monitoring look and the exposure analysis are kept separate, so a LUT never masks clipped highlights or crushed shadows. SEEMO AND HDMI MONITORING Use an Accsoon SeeMo on iPhone or iPad, or a USB-C HDMI adapter on iPad, as your Live View picture while Parallax keeps controlling the camera. Adapter color is matched to the camera automatically.
