I am grateful for this video. Why you say? I am 80 years old and trying to keep up with you youngsters.

[DougHewsonYT]

Its been my new go-to app for iPhone since it came out, and on the iPhone 15 - AMAZING!

[chelo]

can you use the app to connet to the blackmagic pocket cinema cameras ???? please tell me yes

[andrewstuber]

love this! thank you! What would you recommend for photography?

[CraZzyIcee]

Is there any way to make pictures with this camera aswell or only video?

[amyers]

Great video but I have a question. If my shutter speed is locked and my aperture cannot change, how can I set the ISO to automatic? As a scene gets lighter or darker, changing the ISO on fly all the time will get cumbersome. Thanks.

[iPhone-Cinematograhy]

Excellent tutorial... thank you for posting.

[RussellWatsonFMHL]

Nice replacement for Filmic Pro. One question: Where/how does HDMI come out to external devices?

[MelvinAlc]

Thanks for this video now i'm ready with new insta360 flow pro and Iphone 15 pro max for our family vacation !!!

[terrylynch]

Can you help with two questions on the Blackmagic app. I'm on version 2.1. 1: the “use volume button” is grayed out in the on position. I'd rather just use trigger button on the app. Do you have a suggestion on how I can deactivate it? 2: I can't adjust the audio levels either with the iPhone 16 Pro mic or via an external Mick plugged into the USBC port an a Apple USBC tio3.5 adapter.

This vidéos is really informative thank you
Can you please tell me if there’s any way to store directly the media to my Icloud while recording. I don’t have enough space

[eabellae]

Thank you for this video. There is no 16:9 aspect ratio on the monitor display for my S23. Is 14:9 aspect ratio okay? And how will you handle that in post?

[gregorykelly]

I like the app very much but unfortunately, the Smallrig remote button will not actuate the camera. Maybe Black Magic could fix this

[joemahma]

I’m using my iPhone to record myself. Am I able to use the Blackmagic App on the iPad to use as a remote?

[honeyxi]

Apple native camera, Blackmagic, and Final Cut Camera lack the icon for users to turn on the flashlight of iPhone for recording in the dark. The REC app has this feature for users turning on the flashlight of iPhone for recording videos in the dark.

[rudi-gruber]

Great. Which App would you recommend for Android?

[MisterDavidH]

I have watched this video 3 times. Yes, I am slow. I did not you Aussies spoke so fast. Geat video

[gAlbert]

Q: what are you using to run the remote mouse

[tomtube]

Can you shoot photos with this app? Or is it only for videos? Just want something to control shutter speed so my pictures of my computer monitor doesn't have lines on it.

[David-icby]

I have zero interest in making videos, but would like to use it to take stills. Any helps with that?
