Ratings and Reviews
Good effort. A lot more to improve.
It is a good starting effort. A few things that I personally look for in the subsequent updates:
- Accessing the full menu of the camera
- Higher resolution streaming. The resolution streamed is so low that it is virtually useless when I want to check focus.
- Better layout of the app. The menu navigation in the Panasonic cameras are amazing, I hope the same principle can be brought into the app.
The app currently feels “beta” even though it’s good. But making it great and usable on sets will definitely make this a competition for wireless systems for small productions.
Currently this app is not needed. But when the features and usability improves, and the app becomes a need, that will be a fantastic day.
Anything that requires WiFi is unusable
Just like other camera sync apps, this app is so unreliable that it’s practically useless. Anything that requires WiFi is just not reliable. Bluetooth based remote function is useable.
