As a musician who wants to produce content, Mavis Camera is seriously underrated. I love that I can use this app to take full advantage of the iPhones powerful camera and record 8 channels of lossless audio using my interface to completely capture my performance. Opening the multitrack files in Davinci for iPad is seamless. Even better, I can load the video file in Logic for Mac and it’s ready to go for a full professional mix down. Mavis Camera is a secret weapon for sure.

I had to download this because Atomos Ninja did away with their Atomos Ninja phone app and went to this. I’m not too sure why I have my speculation because they couldn’t get their app to work with the mic jack. But I have no idea anyway…..So I downloaded this app just to see if it actually worked and it did and then I noticed that it has a pretty good just in camera video as opposed to using Apple‘s default videoHowever, there seems to be an issue. 1. Horizontal video, I started the video with the back camera and then I switched to the front camera and when I did that I was upside down on the screen and in the playback also audio was not synced with video. 2. Horizontal video I started the video with the front camera so it could see me then I switched it to the back camera then I switched it back to the front camera. When I started the video with the front camera so it could see me talking audio was good when I switched to the back camera the video feed looked good. Everything was right side up and then when I switched it back to the front camera, everything was still right side up, so that was good. However, upon playback video was synced with the front camera when started when I switched to the back camera, although everything was right side up when I was doing the video upon playback, everything was upside down when I switched back to the front camera to end of all audio was not synced anymore. 3. Vertical video no matter what camera you start with upon playback. A video is right side up unlike horizontal video playing back however, the audio sync is still an issue if you switch camera reviews and you come back you’ll notice your audio is no longer in sync with your mouth.I don’t know if this is normally how it’s supposed to be. Maybe you’re not supposed to switch the Camera views but I thought it was pretty cool because you can’t do that on my iPhone, but I’m more than likely be deleting the app because I don’t use the ninja phone. And there’s no sense I have in this takeoff space on my phone if I’m not gonna use it for normal videos

I cannot stop using this app. It is super inspiring especially when you have the newest iPhones. Mavis Pro has so much professional control over your shooting.You can choose which microphone source to activate on the phone for directional or omnidirectional audio. For example I can use just the iPhone’s rear microphone with subcardioid pattern for interviews, or even better try an external USB microphone and control its input levels right from the app.My favorite feature is the butter smooth zoom feature. You can zoom in and out by just swiping up or down very gently while filming. It will give you professional results with precise zoom shots! I love it so much.You can have precise control over the video too. In the viewfinder you’ll find focus peaking, false color, expanded focus, zebras, guides, aspect overlays, and lens support for Moment lenses or even the Beastgrip DOF2. The option of setting your white balance is a nice added option also.The video format options are endless. I love having so much control over file size, fps, and overall quality. Up to 100Mbit 4K 60fps.Support for custom timecode options including UltraSync Blue. Control for Zhiyun gimbal Smooth 4 is also included.This app is by far one of my best investments!Totally recommended if you are a video pro and love the ability to shoot broadcast and cinema quality video without any additional gear.

I previously reviewed this because of audio issues, and the developer replied by telling me I could use Mavis Camera Classic. Well, before they updated my “classic” version to this, I did pay for the original app (which was the equivalent of classic). So now, I looked up Mavis Camera Classic in the App Store, and it says I have to pay for it again. I figured since I’ve already paid for it, I should be able to just download it. Some shady business practices.My previous review: Audio codec settings?I’m not a professional, but I wanted something more than just the built in camera for iPhone. It worked great until the last update. Now the videos recorded with Mavis cannot be heard when played on a typical PC Media Player. I either have to download special media players or convert my audio to AAC. I tried to see if there is a setting within the app that I can change where I can record without having to convert later but couldn’t find anything. Too bad, I really liked this app before.

I downloaded this 3 years ago on an iPhone 11 and was blown away. The features of this app exceed what I have ever experienced, and the functionality is well suited for professional A/V use. I was struck by the interface, which included a both a vectorscope and a waveform monitor. It was unexpected and slightly intimidating to have so many settings at hand all at once. Definitely has a learning curve, and the going over the manual is a must (but easily accessible thankfully). You can’t just bust this app out and start recording immediately; it’s not really suited for casual situations or the average user. The most you can do is go full auto, but you are really missing out on the outstanding capabilities your iPhone has. I appreciate the developers and team behind this because of this apps complexity.

This stands up to a $2000 DSLR Nikon. It puts Filmic Pro to shame. You will never look back. Started an hour film with Filmic Pro but it kept crashing. I switched to my DSLR, and then I discovered Mavis Professional filmmaking app. I still can hardly believe my eyes. Every aspect of this app is mind blowing. I got a small tripod and shoot whenever I want to all over NYC. Unbelievable 4K footage with total manual control with no crashes, low noise, and it's easy to use. If you are a independent filmmaker or just want to make some great home movies don't miss this! No more bulky unreliable equipment .... amazing highly editable beautiful footage....for an awesome price...thank you Mavis for changing the experience of filmmaking. I couldn't live in this field without this Mavis Professional Filmmaking app. Enjoy this Pro experience. It's changed my work after over 20 years in the field.
