    Last night I ordered an Atmos Ninja 5. This video shows up in my feed this morning. I tested the app and canceled my order for the Ninja. This app had the core features I was after and allows me to control my A7sIII and A7IV remotely with no wires which is a big plus for me. I can't say this app will work for everyone it really depends on what you're doing there is some lag but so far in my testing it's minimal. The lag is more than you will have with a good monitor but for my filming style that isn't going to be a problem. Thank you for saving me $400 dollars.

    FOR EVERYONE WITH A7III:
    The app only supports this camera via the USB C port. Also you need to set your USB mode in the camera to PC-Controll. Then connect it via USB C to your Phone and start the app and select the found device. Only works for Android!
    You're welcome :)
    Edit: I found the App not reliable (used the free version on Pixel 4a and a A7III). Getting a connection is buggy and weird. Changing camera settings via the app is laggy and only works step by step. For example going from ISO 400 to 2000, the app switches through all ISO Levels (just like you would manually) but it takes the app like 5 seconds to process it. Also the App crashes sometimes while doing so.
    If you want to try what its like having a field monitor then try it. But I would never use that app if I went out for a shoot, because it isn't reliable enough and wastes more time than it adds to your workflow. Get a 150$ field monitor and you are well served. Also the fact that its not in the Appstore is shady af cause we dont know what that apk might do with our phone or phones data.
    3/10 would not recommend

      You’ll need a lightning -> USB dongle and original Sony USB-C -> USB-A cable. Plug the USB-C end of the cable into the camera and the other end into the dongle. The lightning dongle connects to your iPhone. Voila!
      I suppose the new USB-C iPhones may work directly with a suitable USB-C -> USB-C cable? Unfortunately I don’t have this, so cannot confirm.

    It looks like to connect to an A7III you need to use the wired connection. I'm very curious what kind of cable connection it needs, USB C to USB C, or USB C to mini HDMI? I wonder if the phone can be powered from the camera battery as well.
    **UPDATE**
    I decided to buy the app, knowing they have a 14 day refund window. I am running a Pixel 2 with a Sony A7III and I was able to get a wired connection working with a USBC to USBC cable. It actually works amazingly well. It drains my phone battery fast, so that's one thing to take into account.

    Works with the new FX30. I just got it after watching this content (thanks). By far the best (and most intuitive) third party camera app I’ve tried.
    Some of the features I like:
    You can configure which of the tools appear in the click menu and reorder them according to personal preference. (So you’re not scrolling through tools you don’t use).
    Each of the tools can be customized simply by holding your finger down on the tool icon and making the adjustments right there. Very convenient.
    Touch focus/tracking works perfectly.
    The menu system is very similar to Blackmagic’s O/S on the Ursa and 4K/6k Pockets.
    When selecting shutter speed, it shows you which is the equivalent shutter angle, based on your current frame rate. Genius.
    White balance menu has quick selections (like 3500, 4000, 4500 etc) for quick adjustments. Very convenient.
    It has scopes! (Vector scope and waveform - luma, RGB etc).
    You can display a mini waveform monitor on the main screen (E.g. RGB parade). Personally I don’t like shooting without this tool (for nailing exposure and white balance quickly).
    Above all I like the weight and lack of being tethered to an HDMI cable. I have a 6” ultrabright, ultralight monitor, but with a medium size NPF battery it’s 550g. The iPhone 11 I use (6”) weighs only 225g.
    All for $20? Mind blowing really.
