Pro Camera by Moment 4+

For me this review is a long time coming. I have to start from beginning. My initial introduction to the company was with a kickstart project (early 2017) for the new case, battery case for iPhone 7 Plus. Which I have received promptly as they promised.
Use that for about a year. And developed some issues. I believe issues were possibly with design of the connector. Basically the case would not charge anymore. I have contacted their support, and these guys are absolutely wonderful people. It is a fast response, it is a knowledgeable response, it is a helpful response.
I have to THANK Phill, Erik and Erica. These are the three people I have been in contact with, I’m sure there are many more. With the first case not being able to be repaired, they simply sent me a new one, it was a quick and simple turn around. In any way case is great. Life goes on.
Also purchased some of their lenses, absolutely quality product.
As far as the app goes it is just as good as everything else they have done. If there is one comment to have that is not super glowing, is that they are busy people, so 24-48 hour turnaround to respond should be expected. New product launch time. But I have no problem with that. Once again, these are top notch support/engineer/sales/people absolutely wonderful team that they have. Definitely have a customer for life.

Moment is highly first class company from a kickstarter to a masterpiece. Moment a company for everyone who has a powerful equipment on them 24/7 for making memories, a smartphone. From taking pics to making videos Moment adds pure quality into their products, from Lens to Cases. From my experience the idea of having a high quality of products for you to carry around that takes sharp pictures/videos makes a better user experience and enjoyment of sharing your moments. The best part is creating products that are very easy to use and attach from the case to the Lens. Along with Lens and Cases, the Moment team created their own App. Being able use to Moment Pro Camera App takes mobile photography to another level especially for the iPhone. For individuals that owns major camera, Nikon, Canon, Sony, etc, that enjoying shooting RAW formatting images, the Moment Pro App allows you to capture the image in RAW and JPEG. While using the Lens with the native Pro App, it allows users to adjust each action from ISO, SHUTTER, WB just like a real professional camera; and it’s on a mobile device. To everyone wondering if to enhance your mobile photography game, ShopMoment.

The app was perfect till it’s recent updates. So now when you’re taking a photo in Raw mode, the preview in Raw camera mode is not how the actual final photo looks. It actually is darker than how the photo or frame was looking, when taking the shot. So when you open up the photo in an editor, it shows up darker & less exposed than how you thought it looked when you fixed the settings already when taking the photo.

This also affects the white areas, highlights & more exposed areas now. Because now when I try to fix the exposure, brightness on one area of the photo; the white areas, bright areas & highlights gets blown off or over exposed. So its not balancing out & thus have to swithc to TIFF mode which I only used when using the anamorphic lens, but now will have to use it all the time. I mean one of the purposes of a camera app is to help me show how the framing & photo will be looking when my settings are locked down. Not show me a developed photo will taking the photograph & then show me the original, less exposed photograph in editing which now will need more work on editing since now I not only do have to edit it to get the looks I want but also fix & balance exposure, brightness & contrast first all over the image.

Thus, from 5 star experience I am switching to 3 star.
