Ratings and Reviews
This App Could Be Great
So I’ve not used this app on set yet, but I plan to this coming week. I’ve spent the last few hours painstakingly trying to connect my A7siii and A7RV for multicam monitoring. One camer connected but the other wouldn’t.
This was despite completing firmware updates on both cameras, my iPad and the app itself. It turns out that you need to enable PC Remote on both cameras. I wish this was made clear, as not having this feature on means you won’t be able to connect the camera(s) to the app for multicam.
Once I got it going, I was able use the app as intended. If all goes well on my shoot then I will leave this update as is. If not, then I’ll come back and update accordingly.
Doesn't work via USB
With A7R-V (firmware 3 of course), you can connect via wi-fi, which is laggy, but via USB it keeps asking permission to access Files and Folder, you grant permission, it asks again and again in loop. If you go the Privacy and Security tab in Settings, M&C is not there. I know it detects the camera because once I connect the USB cable and pick "Remote Shooting" in the list, the popup asking permission immediately shows up, but it doesn't matter, tapping ok keeps the app in this annoying loop. It's a promising app, but not there yet.
It’s connects…. But
Would happily pay for this app if it was more stable.. it will connect but the multi-camera features will not, tried to re-install a few times and no luck.
I have had problems with this app in the past but my patience is getting thinner every time I open this
