User Reviews and Ratings
★★☆☆☆No backgrounding, low signal level
The signal level is too low, even with maxed out volume and no negative gain in the settings. BMPCC4k refuses to lock on.
Also will not run in the background. My use cases for this included having the phone mounted on camera as a teleprompter with time code generated on the same phone. I’d have to run this separately on a second iOS device to do what I need here.
★★★☆☆MIDI timecode is only Full Frame
For whatever reason, they chose to implement only the Full Frame MTC messages, rather than sending Quarter Frame messages. This might explain why some hardware doesn’t work with it — if that hardware is expecting Quarter Frame messages it won’t work.
★★★★★Works for generating timecode
But I really wish you could have it use the Mac's clock instead of all zeros or hand setting the time.
★★★★☆Missing Crucial Feature For Me
This would be 100% what I'm looking for if it could capture the timecode at the press of a button so i can copy/paste it into another app.
Another bonus would be the ability to take an input source. Otherwise, would be perfect for my needs.
★★★☆☆Portrait orientation. Funny noise?
Happy to find one that works in a portrait orientation. I am looking for that. Disappointed at the loud shutter / film gate noise? Can I turn that off? Also has an annoying feature. Beware the stop button, you will lose the sync with your camera’s TC.
