TricCam 4+

The app paired with the device without hesitation. That’s it. Shooting with iPhone X gives you NO access to any other function but ISO. Going to IOS settings gives you limited options. The flash fires, but only half the image is exposed. There is no way to adjust shutter within the app regardless of where I swipe on the screen. I am hopeful that the developer will seriously get to work on debugging the software. I see some good potential for this product if done so.

I was super excited to try this out. I ordered the Tric Bluetooth flash trigger unit and hooked it up- but when I used the app to take pictures I was really disappointed. Yes, the flash is triggered by the shutter button, which was great- but I couldn’t make any adjustments in the TricCam app. For example, I tested each control slider: white balance, iso, shutter speed, etc. but none of these controls had any effect on the pictures! All the pictures come out the same: extremely blown-out. Also the app runs very very slowly... when you tap to review the photos -you must wait 10 -15 seconds, which is an eternity when you are trying to see what you just shot...
Ideally this company should make its flash trigger unit compatible with Apple Camera and other photo apps that are already highly refined. -don’t try to reinvent the wheel with your own camera app- just sell flash trigger units that work seamlessly with other apps!

By pairing this app and the Tric Flash strobe trigger that they sell for $45 plus $15 shipping I am able to use my studio and portable strobes with my iPhone, which I think is revolutionary since I couldn't find anyone else doing this. Three stars because the app is still very buggy. I encourage the developer to keep working out the bugs, which are annoying but the app is useable, and pairs effortlessly and automatically with the trigger. Don't bother with the app until you buy the trigger.
