A fast, intuitive viewfinder app from the developer of CameraKit and LensKit. Whether you're scouting a location, testing a new angle on set, or making a quick photo-based storyboard, FinderKit will help you work faster and keep you and your crew in sync. FinderKit also has a dedicated mode for photographers, with common photo sensor sizes and a simplified lens interface.
Simply choose your camera and lens package, and you'll get an accurate preview of what your camera will see. Quickly scroll the lens list to change focal lengths—no need to manually tap through each lens to get to the one you want. Save photos and videos to the in-app gallery, where you can organize by project and scene, add notes, or share as individual files or as a PDF shotlist.
CAMERAS AND LENSES
Includes over 200 cameras from brands like Arri, Canon, Red, Sony, Blackmagic, Panasonic and more, as well as over 2000 lenses from Angenieux, Arri, Cooke, Canon, DZO, Hawk, Leica, Zeiss and others. You can even group together individual lenses to make a custom kit for each project.
ACCESSORIES AND OVERLAYS
Speed boosters, extenders, aspect ratios, custom crops, thirds, grids, title safe, crosshair—FinderKit has it all.
PROJECTS
Projects let you organize your work. New photos and videos are saved to the project currently selected, along with your most recent camera and lens selections. When you return to that project later, your media and camera/lens settings are automatically loaded.
GALLERY
With an easy to use design, the gallery makes it simple to view, organize, and share media. When viewing media, just swipe up to see metadata and add titles/notes. Swipe back down to return to the gallery. Media is automatically grouped by project, and you can further organize by scene if you choose.
PDF EXPORT
Besides standard exporting, FinderKit can create PDF shotlists with customizable options including image size, metadata details, and page orientation.
AND MORE
• Fullscreen mode lets you cut out the distractions, hiding all the controls except the lens picker and shutter buttons.
• Looks let you dial in exposure, contrast, temperature, saturation and more.
• Multicam buttons store preset camera and lens combinations for easy access when you're working with multiple cameras.
• A coverage warning lets you know that the lens you selected may not cover the current camera sensor (with a shortcut to LensKit to see the full coverage chart).
• Even more features to come!

This app is a perfect companion to the CameraKit and LensKit apps, and works wonderfully in unison with them. This allows you to select your camera and lens on a scout at a location to plan out the shots. You can even have a stand-in and work out the blocking in advance. Take pictures or video with all the relevant data. It’s awesome! Then on set you can still use it to block the shot and record a video of the planned camera move and blocking to ensure your camera team has an idea of what the shot is and what the camera and lens combination will do when the camera is placed for real in scene. Such an essential and excellent tool for planning your film/video production.
The most user intuitive and cleanest viewfinder out there.
Jblañco
I really do mean it when I say this is the best looking and intuitive viewfinder app out there. You can tell how much work and thought was put into it with just the UI alone.This app is stable, fast, and simple to use. But that’s just the icing on the cake. What I really love about this app is the strong organization tools for saving shots and making them into projects. Other apps have this too sure but this app makes it way easier to do this and in less steps. Another strong point for this app is the very detailed info for certain configurations. For example, if you choose the FX3 as your camera, you can then choose your frame rate and you will have the estimated bitrate when choosing certain resolutions, and codecs. Very nice!If I can make any suggestions it would be to either integrate more lenses(for me Tamron) or give us the option to have hard limits for the focal ranges when choosing the Generic Zoom option. I don’t see a point in having an infinite range, yes it might be fast but I want to save detailed kits akin to what I have. I wish the best for this Dev and am looking forward to use this app more and more!

Thank you for your kind words. Tamron lenses are now in the app! If there’s any I missed, send me an email at zak@grayhourmedia.com
Intuitive, easy, clean yet robust
Krillinem
A lot more intuitive than other such apps. Interface is super easy to navigate (points for the introductory tips along the way). It has everything I need for a scout or rehearsal. Even helpful when I’m on set and wanna feel something out before getting the whole camera position, move, and lens up and running. Nice to have this tool in the tool belt!
Latest version is buggy
Drewd29
This app is a fantastic tool but the latest version has been buggy for me. First, I have been unable to export stills and videos that have been organized into projects. It keeps saying “file does not exist.” The work around has been to repair the library but then all the porjects are lost and the images are have to be re-organized. Related to this, sometimes videos I have recorded will only appear as one black frame. Last thing is the my saved camera and lens setups will sometimes disappear and I’ll have to remake it all. Once these bugs are ironed out I’m happy to give this 5 stars because it really can be the best viewfinder app.
