Turn Your iPhone Into A Killer Video Monitor For Panasonic And Sony Cameras!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 сен 2024
- This $20 phone app gives you wifi monitoring and focus control for your camera! It also sports several other video features including vector scopes, waveforms, focus peaking, anamorphic de-squeezing and much more!
Check out the app here: www.adamwilt.c...
This is probably the most affordable way to use your phone as a camera monitor AND get focus and exposure features like these on a Panasonic or Sony camera.
DISCLAIMER:
This video was not paid for by outside persons or manufacturers.
No gear was supplied to me for this video.
I was actually developing similar app for my GH3, and even have a working prototype. The things I've discovered along the way: the limitations you see in apps are mostly camera limitations, not app limitations as such.
Cameras do stream low res (and perhaps inconsistent FPS) my guess is that for the reason that they need most of their CPU power to perform the actual task, and the whole wireless functionality is secondary for that matter.
My biggest disappointment was to find out that GH3 cuts the stream completely once it starts active photo/video recording. And when with photo this is not as critical (you don't get live stream 1 sec after shutter release) - in video mode it rendered the whole app useless, which basically was the reason I never released it.
And yeah, I know GH3 is an old camera already, but the points are still valid.
My goodness! 3 uploads a week and EVERY SINGLE POST is unbelievably helpful content. You’re the man. Thanks so much for this!
Amazing video! I have a question, I hope you can help. Every time I use my Panasonic G7 with the Panasonic Image app, hit the record button and the display of the camera turns off after 30 seconds automatically so I cannot see myself when I shoot the video. I could not find the settings to fix that. Thanks! BTW, I just bought your G7 guide after using this camera for more than a year lol.
I have the same issue on GX80.
Found this question or not?Something the author is not responsible for it
xiyangyang1974 I read somewhere that some cams only run a 30 sec vid as a preset.Could be you need to switch it off.
Hi. I think its a common thing with Panny's (own g85 and looked endlessly for solution)... very annoying "bug" I would say, a specially when u own a Gimbal and connect via wifi, after about 30 sec camera screen goes blanc but still recording, a bit useless...
I purchased and used this app on a recent outdoor commercial shoot - it was invaluable. Totally worth the money! Being able to show the talent the shot framing before each shot and walk with them through the shot pre-recording made the shoot go very smoothly.
For Sony:
"These cameras must have the free Smart Remote Control installed from the PlayMemories Camera Apps Store to be controllable by FieldMonitor. With only Smart Remote Embedded available in the camera’s Application List, you can monitor the camera but not control it.
Sonys do not allow the use of Picture Profiles in Wi-Fi remote mode. You cannot shoot in S-Log2 or S-Log3 while using Wi-Fi at the same time."
But quality of wirelesa video was bad of sony, i have sony a6300 and when i connect via application to mobile video quality is very very bad like 240p resolution
Just this week Panasonic released an update to the camera app where you can see full screen now. I think that was the only change, I STILL like the layout of this app. cheers!
Can't see how, do you know?
Seems like full screen only works for the GH5.
@@Efficiencyts and only on iPhone I think.
Halfway through the video I went and bought it. Will be great in a two camera setting. One with the SmallHD monitor and the other remotely controlled by this app. Thanks a million Caleb!
Bought this after watching zour videos a couple of months back, but reallz used it for the first time today - great!
Is there anyway you can do a video showing exactly what the limitations are for the Sony cameras? I would hate to spend $20 for the app just to have a bunch of it not work for my a6500.
Biggest Sony limitation: no Picture Profiles, so no log recording. That's a Sony limitation, sorry; nothing I can do to remedy that. Also, Sony focus setting over Wi-Fi is VERY limited compared to what Panasonic allows.
Load up Sony's PlayMemories Mobile and see what it allows while shooting; FieldMonitor can't do anything more control-wise than PlayMemories can. If PlayMemories offers you enough control, then FieldMonitor will, too.
(Note also that FieldMonitor is a recording-only app: it doesn't have ANY playback capabilities. Switch to PlayMemories Mobile for replay and review.)
I'm a7rii user, which means it can't function even I dial my camera to s log mode on camera body?
Alas, no. You can set up a Picture Profile with SLog when you're NOT in remote mode. But as soon as you start up Smart Remote Control, you'll find that your Picture Profiles are ignored, and aren't even *in* the available menus. A Sony running in remote mode isn't the same Sony as when it's not in remote mode: it's a slightly *different* camera-with fewer options available-that just happens to be running on the same physical hardware.
Origin8Video thanks, Sony's fault😥
Sony play memories app will also allow you to project the screen onto your phone or monitor. Just with all apps like this one, they do have a 1 or 2 second delay in transmitting the scene onto your phone or tablet since its connected over wifi. Thus why I always prefer to use wires instead of wifi for connections. If you're just taking photos, it's great but not so great when shooting movies
it is all great, but the app still displays 'camera busy' message if you touch any button or operate focus ring, which makes it pretty much useless when shooting handheld, manually focusing any 'by wire' lens or gimballin` with follow focus feature which is a must since we cannot actually rely on Panasonic`s AF.
I was hoping that it will override that 'feature' of wireless communication with the camera, but Panasonic app does exactly the same.
The difference is that FieldMonitor displays "camera busy" as a single line of text, and it vanishes the instant the camera says it can allow remote control again. The warning does not block the image (unlike the warning in Image App) so that viewfinding, focusing, etc. can still continue while it is displayed. The "camera busy" warning is necessary because the camera CAN'T be controlled remotely when an on-camera control is adjusted, and some indication is necessary because certain on-camera operations can put the camera into busy mode with no obvious way to clear it (see "If you're using a Panasonic with an electronically-coupled lens in manual focus mode" at www.adamwilt.com/fieldmonitor/support.html).
I wish you would’ve made the Sony disclaimer in the beginning.
Bro same. I just watched the whole video.
Giving this a go. Hope they give you a kick back.
The panasonic has now fullscreen mode! I own a xiaomi mi max 2 with a 6.4 screen so you can imagine how awsome it is to use
G Monitor for Panasonic is an essential Android APP - False Colors - Full Screen Monitor - Life Saver on my Panasonic G7 ! No too much control but defnitely worth it !
would have bought 100% if it could be used while using s-log on sony, seems like an amazing app apart from that!
Doddsy you cant use it with SLOG??
Sadly, Sonys disallow Picture Profiles in remote mode. :-(
Origin8Video awww :(( alright thanks for the reply!
Origin8Video Can you still get waveform with the GH4? The GH4 doesn't have that built in.
Sure: waveforms and histograms for luma, RGB overlay, and RGB parade; RGB+Y histogram; plus a vectorscope with several saturation settings including 75% 2x for DSC or G&D chip charts. Display individually, or a quad-split with picture / WFM / vectors / histogram. The 'scopes are built into the app and work with any source.
Well then....this is the coolest thing I've seen today! Great find Caleb!
For creators - PLEASE make an ANDROID version!
the most important aspect is missing: how does it perform when moving the object/camera? can a director use it for wireless monitoring to get some impression what i am shooting when i am operating on a gimbal, or will there be too much delay? than its only purpose is making photos. For a Film maker, this question is essential and it is more important than the size of the provided image
Delay is about 4 frames for Panasonics, 5-6 frames for Sonys (for comparison, the monitor LCDs on those cameras have 2 frames of delay). I often work 20 or 30 feet away from the camera without any problems or any increased latency... but it's Wi-Fi, so it'll depend entirely on how crowded the local Wi-Fi environment is. Too many access points, too much traffic, or a microwave oven operating nearby can disrupt things to a greater or lesser degree. To answer your question for your operating conditions, use the vendor's free Wi-Fi app and test for yourself: FieldMonitor's latency / delay / connectivity will be very much the same as Image App (Panasonic) or PlayMemories Mobile (Sony).
2020 UPDATE: The Panasonic Image app (at least for Android) allows full screen monitoring!
Now we just need more assist tools in the app. Zebras should be mandatory. But how about some LUT support? Waveforms and vectorscopes? My G85 doesn't have those.
Do we not have higher-resolution monitoring because it would be too difficult over WiFi? Even 720p would be great.
@@danieldougan269 I wonder if they prioritize speed over quality. Having almost zero lag to the phone has been really nice!
But then again, the technology to transmit 1080p to the phone with almost no lag does exist.
The iPhone version sucks, it does allow full screen but it's very chunky when recording, it's like it's constantly buffering!
@@danieldougan269 Higher-res over 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi can only be done in two ways that I know of: drop the frame rate (and increase latency) to accommodate the larger frames, or use a dedicated, low-latency H.264/H.265 transmitter like a Teradek instead of the JPEG streams sent by these cameras.
Some Sonys offer the choice of a 1024x576 image instead of the 640x360 defaults used by both Sony and Panasonic. The live-view frame rate drops by about a third, and the latency increases by a frame or two. The "low res" feed is *much* more usable overall.
Teradeks start at about $1500; they allow full 1080p @ 30fps with audio, but they add at least a couple more frames of delay atop whatever the HDMI latency of your camera is. And they're $1500+. Cheaper alternatives exist (Hollyland Mars) but latency is worse.
Full-res, "zero latency" transmitters use a dedicated 5GHz channel and use no compression or a simple run-length coding to avoid the need to buffer a frame for compression. They require dedicated receivers and run around $550. (Teradek Ace and Bolt, Paralinx)
It turns out that the camera vendors have picked a pretty good compromise, seeing as it's a feature you get "for free" in the camera. Smallish JPEGs are easy to create using the existing hardware; they're as low-latency as a compressed image allows, and the JPEG hardware doesn't demand a lot of power. The 640x360 images sent by default are a "sweet spot", balancing detail against frame rate / latency (FWIW Canons send 512x288, and some Panasonic allow 320x180 feeds. The Canon live-view feed is still pretty usable, but the 320x180 feed is annoyingly coarse).
How to get full screen monitoring in the app it doesnt work i try today
Great video and awesome information! I have a Sony A7III and definitely want to take advantage of this. Can you send a link to the phone mount you are using? I can't seem to find that anywhere.
Did ever try this on your sony a7 iii?
Give me any android idea app as work same for canon dslr
Check out Chainfire's DSLR Controler
yea thats good
Philip John Deans can i use it with sony camera
gmonitor for panasonic
Excellent review and I just purchased the Field Monitor app for my GH5
is it works?
You didnt show false colors which is the best part of this app!!
YSProductions i
Thanks Caleb!!! Never knew about this and it has blown my mind. Now I wish I had an iPhone :(
Can't find any demo on RUclips for the transmitting delay test. On a6300/6500, does it lag like the Sony app? Or is it close to real-time? Thanks!
Harley Pan Following!
Delay / latency is pretty much the same as Image App on the Panasonic or PlayMemories Mobile on the Sonys.
At 24fps, FieldMonitor on the GH4 lags realtime by 4 frames. By comparison, the GH4’s own LCD lags by two frames and its HDMI feed is 5.5 or 6 frames behind realtime (as seen on a PIX-E5 and Odyssey7Q+).
On the A6300, FieldMonitor is typically 5 or 6 frames behind realtime, while the A6300’s LCD lags by 2.5 frames, and HDMI is about 4 frames behind realtime.
All latencies values are typical when connectivity is good, but even then there will be occasional hiccups, delayed frames, and the like. On the Sony, too, its delivery is more variable: sometimes I’ll see a frame that’s only one frame behind realtime, which means (for that one frame’s duration, at least) that FieldMonitor sees closer to realtime than the camera’s own LCD does!
Origin8Video Soo.. what your saying is, it’s a good option to go with for the Sony’s? LOL.
It has the same lag as the Sony app does. Test with the Sony app; if you're OK with that, then FieldMonitor should be fine.
IMO tid way faster than the original Panasonic app. Also it's so much better in every way. I'm using it with the gh4 though.
Caleb, great content and excellent presentation. Thank you for all of the effort and time you put into your videos!
Can I just say the stuffed rabbit on the app page is the creepiest
:-)
Caleb, can you do a quick demo showing how to use this app with Sony Alpha cameras ?
Too bad it´s iPhone only.. But dope as hell for those who have one :D
pushREC ios needed one there’s one out there on Android that’s different that’s been out for some time now.
Name for android?
You can buy an older / cheap iPhone for sure. I switched to Android but in both areas there are adorable options.
What options for Android?
Right now idk, you'd have to buy a cheap iPad or iPhone which you can find them for cheap cheap. Nothing wrong with an extra monitor on hand. They can be used for MANY functions :)
Nice find, cheers Caleb!
Have you used this app with the Sony A7 series? I'd love a video like this for those cameras!
That’s exactly what I’m trying to find out.
This app is only for Panasonic app and it is superb wireless video quality panasonic gh user are really in profit for that feature, but Sony app is like shit wireleas quality like 240p resolution ,
Thanks for another great suggestion for Panasonic owners, Caleb. Now, how about a tutorial for neophytes on how to use wave forms, and other features that this app offers. THANKS AGAIN. I soooo appreciate learning from you.
Is there an android option?
No.
Sad face. Thanks for the quick response!
I may work on an Android version later this year. No promises, though.
That would be awesome!
Origin8Video oh yeah please :)
This is a fabulous app. I use it on my GH3 and GH4. It has many more features on the GH4. I love the auto focus and ability to change settings. Thanks for a great app.
1 Canon user disliked
and 6 Nikon
(me)
I android user didn't want to dislike something from Caleb, but still it's frustrating
Do you have a solution for a Canon 70D with an iPhone?
I use the canon SX60 hs and it works very good, with Android or my iPad.
So why you are worry?
Thx Caleb, good news! It's about time :) Hopefully there will be enough demand for the APP to see it come to the Android platform soon!
Anyone know what the latency is like on the app?
See my response above for full details. On a Panasonic, about 4 frames; on a Sony, about 5 or 6 frames.
Awesome! thanks for the information.
I believe this app also allows you to get round the half hour recording limit on European (?) GH4s. I think you can set it to authentically restart recording when the time limit runs out.
IPhone, a Killer video monitor or battery Killer monitor? Lol
Next thing is you need a mount for external charger😂
一
In www.adamwilt.com/fieldmonitor/index.html
you will able to read following *latencies,* which the *cameras* 📸 internally produce, depending on the model:
_Panasonic G:_ *~4* frames
_Sony 6300, A7S/RII:_ *5-6* frames
_Sony A7III, A7RIII, A9-series:_ *4+* frames
You mention sony but dont show also using a sony
Finally got a use for my old 6plus
1,000$ small screen...
Great find, just bought it for use with my A7S and it works great all except the focus stuff as I am using a Metabones adatpter for Canon lenses. Wish it worked for Canon, but I've got the Lukilink coming for that.
If the Metabones and camera are in the right mode, you should get the same focus control as with a native lens (which, in remote mode, isn't always that much!). With either the Sony 28-70 or the Canon 16-35 on a Metabones Cine (blue LED mode) on my A7ii, I can autofocus remotely in stills mode, but not in video mode. Older Metabones adapters (pre-V/Cine), though, I don't know about.
As noted above, the 'Smart Remote" (on camera app) is a re-implementation of the menus running as separate system - rather than as a WiFi add-on. They implemented their own focus control code which maybe breaks what Metabones is expecting....
There is any tutorial how to do it with the A7s? Cause I dont know how to connect the wifi
You can do this with canon connect app
this is for Panasonic and Sony
Perfect tool at a perfect price thank you Caleb
Does it work with the *cough* better *cough* operating system called android?
I may look into an Android version later this year / early next. Can't make any promises as to timetable or feature sets, though.
Um, android is by far an inferior system. Always go with the innovators, not the copy cats. Oh, and I used to own 2 androids before I got smart.
How could it be better OS if it's lag and crash frequently? I used android before and it really slow down my workflow due to that problems,.. I don't have that problem with iPhone,.. All smooth operation from start till finish..
The fat controller laughed “you are wrong”
I think you'd have great sales if you did! GH5 user base on Android - should be a good market - I for one would buy! (Unless I find a good alternative in the meantime....) :)
One thing to remember with this app - while recording externally, connecting (and disconecting as far as I remember) with the app disables / interferes recording (in g7 at least).
Interesting! That doesn't happen on a GH4 or GH5. I'll make a note on the FieldMonitor site about that. BTW I think it would be the same with any Wi-Fi app, not just FieldMonitor. Thanks for the info!
Origin8Video I had this problem with Panasonic App, not tested with Field Monitor app. There was a black screen everytime I connected with the app. Maybe they fixed it
Update: with GH5 (but not the GH4), I get 5 seconds of black on the HDMI output, ten seconds after disconnection from FieldMonitor: when the camera would normally display "Not connected to the app" on its LCD. I haven't had any problems connecting, though I start Wi-Fi before recording. I think it's safe to say you should NOT disconnect from the camera while recording externally, if at all possible!
Origin8Video exactly.
Looking like an Egg Caleb
I think he looks alfa as fuk...
Caleb, does it work on iPad as well or iPhone only? Thanks for another great video!
iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch.
iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
Hey. Great video. Do you have a link to the phone holder to go with the go pro hot-shoe?
Thank you bro!! You always make my life easier with all these amazing videos.
fantastic app and the wifi doesn't drop out all the time like the irksome panasonic app (lots of wifi going on where i'm shooting)
i turn on the airplane mode then proceed with the wifi setup
use it with a GH4 and a GX85 for 2 camera shooting - my iphone for one camera and an ipad for the other . . . no problem !!
really an outstanding app and worth the money 😀👍👍
What iphone holder did you use and where can we find these?
Hey Caleb!
Have you ever tried connecting an external monitor, along with the wifi connection?
Will there be any problems between the two monitor system?
Thanks for the help, and keep up the good work!
Generally speaking, the camera's LCD and/or EVF often won't be usable if you have both HDMI connected and a Wi-Fi remote (whether FieldMonitor, Image App, or PlayMemories Mobile) connected. With most Panasonics, connecting both an HDMI monitor and a Wi-Fi remote app blanks the on-camera display at all times. With Sonys (at least with the the A6300 and the A7Riii recording XAVC), the camera, HDMI ,and Wi-Fi will all show the picture initially, but as soon as you start recording, the image on the camera goes black: you still see the data readouts onscreen (shutter, ISO, etc.) but no image! Note that this doesn't happen for AVCHD, so it's dependent on the processing power required by in-camera recording: the LCD/EVF will be sacrificed in favor of recording, HDMI, and Wi-Fi, when necessary. So if you're planning to record in-camera, not just feed HDMI to an external monitor/recorder, just be aware that a Sony's EVF or LCD will look fine in standby, but may lose the picture as soon as you press record.
Field monitor is the bomb. So glad they added support for Sony cameras. I HATED the Sony app and am glad field monitor now utilizes the Sony protocol
Yeah so so good!!!
Sully Cortez what's the lag like with a Sony? Is it a smooth image?
Lag is roughly the same as the Sony app: 5-6 frames typically. Sadly that's as quickly as I can get the frames and display 'em; Sonys have a bit more delay in their Wi-Fi pipeline than Panasonics do.
What a great video. Could you tell me which model of part you use to hold the iPhone?
Thanks for this vid. After watch g your vid i went and purchased the app and it works great with my new gh5.
It must have been an update they did to the Panasonic app but you can view the entire screen if you just hit the button on the bottom right that has the four arrows on it
So sick! Thank you Caleb!
Downloaded to use with my A7II which it does work... as a monitor. Everything else was just trash. None of the controls worked other than start/stop recording. My biggest issue was that I'm unable to use Picture Profiles while using this app due to Sony being incapable for some reason of adding it to their remote app.
Have you loaded Smart Remote Control on the camera? If you only have Smart Remote Embedded, all you get is start/stop and exposure compensation. (FWIW the A7ii is one of my development cameras; I know it works.) The lack of Picture Profiles is a camera-app limitation: neither of the Smart Remote camera apps allows it, sorry.
I’m planning on getting the Sony A7 iii, this would be a perfect alternative for a flippy outie selfie screen since the camera doesn’t have one. How does the app effect the phone’s battery life?
Just did a test with my year-old iPhone SE, timing a 10% battery rundown and extrapolating to how long the thing sould run:
• FieldMonitor, WFM shown with medium refresh rate, 25% screen brightness: 5.5 hours.
• Same, but at 100% screen brightness: 3.9 hours.
• iPhone home screen, no apps running, 100% screen brightness: 7.5 hours.
So, roughly speaking, running FieldMonitor is about twice as power-hungry as just displaying the home screen at full brightness. Your mileage may (and will) vary depending on signal quality, refresh rate, device type, and battery health.
Great idea. Thanks for sharing, looks much better than the stock Panasonic app👌🏼
This is awesome. What a great tool and perfect for use while on my Z Crane Gimbal as well. 👍
Anything that turned your phone into a monitor is awesome - sony owner
Sounds killer! I just wish I could see it in person first before shelling out $20. I know you say its the "same" as the cameras LCD however the site states the app's resolution as 640x360px but my GH4's rear LCD's resolution is 720 x 480px. So while it IS bigger in size, I wish I could see what the trade off is and what it looks like on yes a bigger screen, but with LESS resolution. I'd really love to use the app for the lightest monitor option when using my Ronin-M. Only drag is, I have to use the phone to calibrate/control the Ronin so that's probably not an option. Sure I can buy an ipad to use, but then I could just buy a regular monitor for the same price range...I guess the ipad would still be lighter tho.
Apple doesn't allow free trials, sorry. The GH4's max Wi-Fi resolution in 16x9 is 640x360. You can get an idea of what it looks like by using either Image App or Cascable, both of which are free. Cascable has a full-width display that shows you exactly the same image size and resolution as FieldMonitor (and it's a darned good still-photo remote app, too). An iPad mini 2 or later might be a good size/weight tradeoff for gimbal use; refurbs start at $210, though you can get a low-end HDMI monitor cheaper.
WOOOOOOOW... This is sooooo Clutch... this is absolute KILLER :D
So in theory I could hand this to a client or partner on set whilst I continue to shoot using my focus hd. That will give us 2 external monitors?? One wired and one wireless?
Yes. However, on a Panasonic, with both Wi-Fi and HDMI active, the camera's own LCD/EVF go dark: Panasonics can only feed two outputs at a time. Sonys (at least the A6300) don't suffer from that limitation.
Great stuff. Keep them coming.
So glad I subscribe to your channel! If not, I may have not known about this very cool app. Thanks so much for the video (OK, I should say thanks for ALL your videos)! I use my G7 only for gimbal video and pole shots, so this app is perfect and easier to see the full picture than the Panasonic app. Cheers.
Thanks for the info going to look into this for my GH4.
Cheers, Pete
Did it work with GH4?
Thank you for this great tip, downloaded today - it‘s so much netter than the Panasonic App, i like the anamorphic markers.
Grazie uomo e Fantastico ,e da tanto tempo che cercava sto soluzione , funziona alla grande .
Grazie
Hey Caleb, great video, thanks for showing this app! How is the connectivity when you're on the field, let's say in the middle of a downtown or in the country side?
Connectivity depends entirely on the local Wi-Fi environment. If there's a lot of on-channel Wi-Fi traffic or interference, you'll have more problems, and may not be able to use *any* Wi-Fi remote app reliably. If you're in a clear, uncongested area, you'll have smooth connections and even be able to work with a much greater than normal separation between camera and iDevice. Unfortunately there's no good way to predict it; you just have to try it and see.
that looks SUPER helpful! cool video!
Can you use that app with wire connection? I mean not true wifi but lighting to HDMI cable to GH5 to get better resolution on the screen?
No, it's wireless only, sorry.
There is an app called dslr control plus and it's excellent works with all wifi dslr cams..even display is bigger
Be aware that the last version of the panasonic native app offers full screen as well (for free)
Yes, but only on certain cameras: I can get full screen on my GH5, but not on my GH4 or LX100; the full-screen button simply doesn't appear. It's very odd, as I can't think of any reason why full-screen should be camera-specific.
i have agh5, that's why i said that... You're right, it seems just stupid to have it working on same camera and not on others... cannot understand why
What is the cheapest monitor with focus peak?
Lol this will be useful for the new S1 coming out .... it kills me still that they made a near perfect camera but took away the flip screen 😭
I wonder if I can Airplay this onto an Apple TV🧐 this way I can see myself on the big screen 📺
Is there a way to directly connect an iphone to a Sony via a cable (HDMI, perhaps)? Would that give you a view of the same exact screen as on the back of the camera? Could this eliminate the lag and perhaps give similar features?
www.kickstarter.com/projects/220205692/lukilink is your best bet, if it ever ships. I've asked if they're open to third-party app integration, so you could watch higher-res, less-laggy video (4 frames instead of 5 or 6) over HDMI and still have control via Wi-Fi. No response yet.
does it work with BGH1?
Not tested yet, but as the BGH1 works with the Lumix Sync app it should work with FieldMonitor. If you have a BGH1 and want to test it, contact me directly: www.adamwilt.com/fieldmonitor/contact.html
It should work the same way as with Lumix Sync, but I haven't tested it so I can't guarantee it.
This is something that I’ve been so waiting for! However, I have the Canon 5D Mk4. Do you know of any apps out there that work as well as this one does that are compatible with Canon?
One more reason to buy an iPhone. Just downloaded the app. Ill give this a try with my anamorphic lens.
Dope 4 sho! Thanks man!
JRESHOW o
Amazing for all Panasonic users... Yes !!!
Great information and thanks. 👍
WOW!! Does this work as a EVF too? I just ordered a LX5!
Neat
Qdslrdashboard is anoth great app for connecting android phones to dslr as a monitor only downside is the app is $9 and you have to connect the camera and phone via a cable, other than that can't beat the price and features.
what phone holder you are using. I watched your linked video and purchased the mounts and knobs.
please review this app with sony a6500 or etc
great app find, thanks very much for the tip!
thx for this cool video 💪
Wondering if there are any competing apps that you have tested since this video?
Just curious, is there any lateness/delay when recording video. This has been the only thing that has put me off using monitors . I bought a fieldview monitor 2 years ago and the delay was just too much
Delay varies from 2 to 6 frames depending on the camera; that's roughly comparable to the delay over HDMI: www.adamwilt.com/fieldmonitor/faq.html#Realtime That's in good conditions, of course; if your Wi-Fi environment is congested or noisy, delay can get worse. Generally speaking your camera's own EVF or LCD will be closest to realtime, though even that image is typically 1 or 2 frames delayed.
Very cool...Caleb, is there a function on the app that locks all the controls down, so for instance if I were to hand to a client to watch they wouldn’t be able to fiddle with settings?
There is no control lockout, but that's a great idea: I'll add it in the next version. For now, your best best is to set camera controls to hide on a screen tap, tap the screen to hide the controls, and tell the client to keep their greasy digits off the screen. ;-)
Thanks for the vid - awesome! (I only see it now...) anyone knows if there is false color as well? Use that a lot for skin tone and exposure. Thanks
If your iDevice has an A7 or higher CPU, there's built-in false color with adjustable levels. With earlier iDevices you can still load a false-color LUT. See www.adamwilt.com/fieldmonitor/index.html for details. (False color capable iDevices: iPhone 5S and later, iPod touch 6G and later, iPad Air and later, iPad mini 2 and later, and iPad Pro.)
muy buen video ! gracias por compartir esta info .. la compraré ;)
