About this app

IMPORTANT:
1. IN FIRMWARE 6.9.5v, THE BLUETOOTH API IS NOT RESPONDING TO INPUTS BY THE APP. WE HAVE CONTACTED BMD REGARDING THE ISSUE. KINDLY USE THE APP WITH 6.9.4v.

2. FOCUS CONTROL FOR BMD CAMERAS WITH EF MOUNTS (EG. BMPC 6K) IS PENDING FROM OUR END BECAUSE WE DO NOT HAVE THE CAMERA RIGHT NOW AND IT IS DIFFICULT TO RENT DURING THE PANDEMIC.

Ratings and reviews

Really like this App. I wish it had more rack focus points to set. That would be huge. I use this App together with my Edelkrone HeadPlus and slider which is also controlled by Bluetooth. Something that Edelkrone does well is let you set points and then take a photo to have a visual representation of what the next point jumps to. This could be a UI enhancement. In a perfect world I could use this App to control the BMPC4K focus and the Edelkrone movements at the same time. One can dream :)

Amazing app. Controls so much on the bmpcc. Still no ef focus or zoom and based on the last update date this is probably an abandoned app which is unfortunate. It does work very well. It connects right away and doesnt need to be paired once you first pair. Much easier than contorting to use the on-cam screen. Love it! (Not sure why I have a 2nd review. App still doesnt recognize my 6k as a 6k so that's weird. Knocking a couple stars for that and the abandonment issue.)

Nice app, but the length of the focus slider is far too short to reliably achieve accurate focus. Even on a 10" tablet with the slider scale set to 2x. I *strongly* and respectfully suggest the addition of a mode in which the zoom and focus sliders occupy the entire height of the screen. In all other respects, this is the best app I've tried for the BMPCC 4k (and I believe I have them all). But the inexplicable decision to limit the size of the focus slider makes every app virtually useless for my work. Increase the size of the focus slider to the maximum height allowed by any particular device, and it's five stars all the way.
