MAVIS – Pro Camera 4+

Unable to set and lock manual Shutter Speed. That says it all

Updated below on APRIL 1, 2023 The app won’t allow for manual shutter speed locking. There is no much to say. Forget about double the frame rate or sticking to the 180 degree rule. The app locks at 1/33 and that is all you can do. The interface is there for manual adjustments, they just don’t work. Probably developers hasn’t cared to update the app after iOS 16 was released. That also should tell you a lot about the kind of support you are ever gonna get. Zero. You email support, you will never get a reply. Honestly, best you keep looking for another app.

Update: with the latest version this has been resolved. Thanks to the developer. I have increased the stars from 1 to 4. The only reason I haven’t scored it with 5 stars is because I wish it would offer flat color spaces, log3 or slog color spaces. Most decent apps allow for this and I feel it is the only thing missing for this app to truly go head to head with any other app out there… If the developer is listening, please….

Hello, Please update to v6.0.3. This issue should now be fixed.

Love it but one misleading issue

This is my favourite camera control app as a professional used to scopes, etc and also the picture quality and buttery smoothness is uber-impressive. I bought a Zhiyun Smooth 4 gimbal as it was listed in app but on delivery of gimbal it appears not, though its listed and mapped on website. I emailed Zhiyun and they stated that it’s incompatible. I have bought FilmicPro and that works beautifully with The gimbal and has a lot of control. Why is it listed in the app and website, and as an extra paid component? Also, the app needs updating. Such a shame if the app is left to rot as I much prederbit to FilmicPro but will have now to use the latter because it (honestly) works with the gimbal.

Amazing app!

As a professional TV director and cameraman, I 've been somewhat impressed at the way that some smartphones such as the iPhone 6s Plus can handle images, both still and video.
What was lacking though was the right software to take advantage of the possibilities.
I needed to have full control as well as monitoring of the various functions.
Enter MAVIS!
What an incredible little(!) app.
I couldn't believe that it actually offers focus peaking as well as a waveform monitor, not to mention a decent manual audio level control.
In short, it has everything that I'd expect if I was to pick up a professional video camera.
I also bought the IoGrapher frame to hold the 6sPlus, which really has turned it into a very high-powered video acquisition unit
Well done to the developers - I salute you!

This is an update at July 2017.
While I still stick with my previous thoughts, there is one fault that I reported to the developers, but nothing seems to have been done to rectify it: the manual focus control has an image of infinity and also a flower for close up work. It appears that the icons are the wrong way around. One should be able to slide ghe control to infinity to focus on distant objects, whereas it's the other way around...
