Description

Protake brings the filmmaking experience of professional cinema cameras to your mobile devices.

No matter you're a daily vlogger, a commercial director, or a well-established filmmaker, you will benefit from Protake's features, including:

# [NEW] WI-FI VIDEO TRANSMISSION

· In the landscape orientation of AUTO and PRO modes, you can start the brand new Wi-Fi Video Transmission system.
· You can transmit the video from 1 "camera" to 4 "monitors" (yes, we're talking about iPhones and iPads).
· You can watch up to 4 "cameras" on 1 "monitor".
· You can wirelessly start and stop the recording of all "cameras".
· You can even monitor HDR and SDR video streams on the same screen.
· It's a ground-breaking end-to-end mobile recording and monitoring experience.
· It's brought to you by Protake.

# MODES

· AUTO mode: a mode optimized for vloggers and YouTubers, you can use it single-handedly.
· PRO mode: a mode designed for professional filmmakers. All the camera information and control settings are well aligned on the screen.
· DUAL mode: recording video with two cameras working at the same time. Recorded in one file as Picture in Picture or two files.
· PORTRAIT mode: with iPhone Pro and iPad Pro's LiDAR sensor and the devices' powerful processors, you can record "portrait mode video" with real-time blurred background.

# COLOR

· LOG: it's not only a genuine LOG gamma curve -- we strictly matched your mobile device's color to the industrial standard - ALEXA Log C.
· Cinematic Looks: we provided a dozen of cinematic looks for filmmakers -- the styles are categorized into Neutral Styles, Film Emulation (classic Kodak and Fuji cinema film), Movie Inspired (blockbusters and indie masterpieces), and ALEXA Looks.

# ASSISTANTS

· Monitoring tools: Waveform, Parade, Histogram, RGB Histogram, Audio Meter.
· Composition assistants: Aspect Ratios, Safe Area, Thirds, Crosshairs, and 3-axis Horizon Indicators.
· Exposure assistants: Zebra Strips,False Color, Exposure Compensation, Auto Exposure.
· Focus assistants: Focus Peaking and Auto Focus.
· Recording: Record Beeper, Record Flash, Volume Key Record.
· Zooming and Focusing: A-B Point.

# DATA

· Frame Rate Normalization: Mobile devices don't have perfect frame rate control, therefore, it's easy to get non-standard variable frame rate. Protake solves this problem fundamentally and makes strictly constant FPS of 24, 25, 30, 60, 120, etc.
· File-naming: All the video files saved by Protake use the standard naming system: Camera Unit + Reel Number + Clip Count + Date + Suffix. It's something like "A001C00203_200412_IR8J.MOV"... Sounds familiar?
· Metadata: Everything including device model, ISO, shutter angel, white balance, lens, connected accessories, location, are all well recorded in the file's metadata.
· Time code: We provided both options for you -- Free Run and Record Run. It's compatible with your cinema cameras.

Better than the rest but can be improved

I moved to Protake after you-know-who started charging high weekly subscription fees after buying the full version app. Protake is excellent and I find it the most easy-to-use, intuitive full-featured ‘pro’ video app. However, some improvements are needed. Frame Drop Notice keeps counting dropped frames on iPhone SE 2022 (3rd Gen) no matter what the settings are. This seems a bug since I don’t see it on an iPhone 7 with same settings. Then adding a focus and exposure reticle to the PRO mode would really be great. Finally, it would be great to be able to set which of the phone’s mics will be used for audio.

No Zhiyun Smooth 5 support in v3.0 -updated-

Update below ⬇️
Sadly still no support for Zhiyun Smooth 5 in the 3.0 version of this furthermore great application . If it were only the start stop button, that would already be great. Otherwise ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ !

Update:
I found a way to use the start/stop button of the Zhiyun Smooth 5 when not connected with Zhiyun in the app settings. Simply connect the Smooth 5 via Bluetooth, but keep connect to “Zhiyun gimbals” off.
Though there is a dropout detection I still have them.
Too bad that the maker of Protake does not respond to mail or reviews. They could have told me that ages ago. 😏
Here my more specific values:
Vid.settings: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Dropouts: ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Support: ⭐️
