Love everything about this app so far. Only gripe is having to input clip numbers on every new take is kind of annoying, everything else can be automatically inputted on a new take but it forces you to input the clip number manually
As a 2nd AC/loader I found the app handy for recording camera notes on set and making a pdf of them to distribute. It saves on using pen and paper on set. As a 1st AC/Focus Puller I find the depth of field tool useful as a reference when pulling focus.
Such a great App! Lots of tools and useful information. Love that the lenses have weights and front diameter size listed. Very helpful for different builds like steadi or ronin. The camera report tool is very user friendly.
Pretty good professional AC or camera crew tool
Super helpful little app that I keep coming back to.
One of the best if not the best Camera AC apps on Android. Developer was also quick to respond and help figuring out a bug. They were very helpful and quick send out an update to fix the issue. Definitely worth the price!
Email Camera log is broken after last update. Trying to email my camera log either crashes the app or takes me back to the tools page. Kinda important to have this feature working so I can send my reports to production.
