Kino - 프로페셔널 비디오 카메‪라‬ 4+

The lack of geotags !

I’m a big fan of this app. I appreciate how the developers have designed it to be user-friendly, with an interface that isn’t cluttered with unnecessary features. The quality of the footage is also impressive. It’s much better than the native footage from the iPhone camera and has a DSLR-like quality.

I plan to use this app while traveling, and I’m particularly interested in the Geo-tagging feature. It would be great to be able to see my videos on a map later, which would be very helpful. Additionally, I would appreciate it if you could add the ability to assign the app to the new iPhone camera button. I’ve seen other apps that already have this feature, and it would be a great addition to this app as well.

Just as Advertised

I’m really enjoying the cinematic touch this app gives iPhone videos. In so many ways, Apple hardware is capable of pro-level content. But the software is of course focused on everyday users, leaving a lot of potential unrealized. Apps like this one solve that problem for people who want to make pro-level stuff on a device in their pockets or who want their everyday stuff to look just right.

A few feature requests:

1- Sliders on the color style options. All the LUTs look great for longer, movie-length works. But most of us are making 45-second stories and reels that need a more subtle look.

2- An iPad/Mac control and monitor app. This may be moot with iPhone mirroring now available on Mac. But it would allow us to use the front camera for talking head videos.

3- Something like Apple’s Cinematic/Portrait Mode. I know it’s distinctly not pro or cinematic, but it’s nice sometimes to blur the background a little more than the hardware allows for.

Has potential but still needs work.

Pros:
The interface is very intuitive, clean, and simple.
The automotion and the instant grade features really differentiate this app from the competition and simplify the shooting process.

Cons:
More than half the grades are only available for log footage so if you don't have an iPhone 15 you won't have access to them. It's a shame they couldn't produce equivalent grades for standard rec709 as well but maybe they will in the future? I also tried to import multiple LUTs from my davinci resolve folder but could not get any to import successfully despite the LUTs working fine in Davinci. The .cube files were within the 33x33 size limit as well so not sure what the issue was there.

Also external microphones do not seem to be supported. I tested with the Hollyland Lark m2 Bluetooth microphones and was unable to get it to work. This is a shame given that this is supposed to be a pro app and audio quality from the onboatlrd iphone microphone leaves much to be desired. Hopefully this can be added in the near future.

Finally, there is no tap to focus or tap to adjust exposure like there is in the default iphone camera app. This may have been a deliberate design decision but it would be nice to have the option to enable/disable these features for those who want them.
