Cadrage Director's Viewfinder App Reviews

That’s good for directors

Just what I needed while out finding great locations . The different lens selection is on point!

But I’m wowed! Just Works is rare anymore and this app does. Adding lenses not in its list worked perfectly. Better than any physical director’s viewfinder I’ve used. Has instantly become a must have app.

Solid tool for scouting locations.

Been using it since I first stepped on production and it helps me out a ton with the director. The capturing of shots and even having all the lenses I own makes it a no-brainier. I wish there was an Android app for it because I may be switching over to Samsung and a custom pc. Don’t want to lose access to such an amazing app

What else can I say! Amazing tool for all film prep.

Just get it and watch the way you think and create your film or video projects become more organic because you can go out and scout the perfect locations and create your storyboards while on your explore. Just get it.

Remember those old movies where a director would carry around a lens on a lanyard and a light meter? This is just like that! I am a still photographer on Fuji GFX 100 and keep getting this crazy notion, while out on dog walks without my camera, to buy a 250mm lens (≈200mm FF). This app essentially proved that I don't need more than the 100mm I already have. $19.99 well spent.

This is a VITAL part of my kit while location and tech scouting! Couldn't imagine lugging heavy rigs around for Dev and PreProd visits.

Thank you for saving us time!

I can switch between cameras, Lenses… And Brands quite easily to get a quick reference of what I am looking at for Fran and other creative options

Used for number of feature films. Love this app.

Good app and very helpfull. Please add the nikon zr

I can’t believe how comprehensive, yet intuitive, this app is. It’s a lifesaver on set.

This app really helps in setting up and planning out shots. Very well done.

Love it worth it and time saver, only need lense when ready to shoot

Really good app, my only wish was that the video was 24fps. Aside from that, it serves exactly what I’m looking for!

Really great App, efficient and easy to use

You can’t go wrong.

This app is an excellent resource for storyboarding, with access to premiere motion picture lenses, some costing 5 figures. An Arri Alexa Classic 20mm spherical has a readable distortion distinct from a Panavision anamorphic, and being able to capture that helps with scene compositions; you can maintain a consistent look through the perspective guides. If you’re a director on set, you should use a director’s viewfinder, but this app is 1/5 the cost and excellent for off-set pre-pro.

Must have for filmmakers. Bug-free. Very easy to use.

Every camera and lens combo you would ever need, the ability to grab scout stills or video with baked in camera and lens info? The best. Pricey, but ultimately worth it.

I’ve been using Cadrage for quite a few years now on many different projects and many different cameras as well. I can confidently say that this is the best viewfinder app I’ve ever used.

Great app! The only thing I would change is how the camera and lens kits are organized. I shoot video on an R5c and use a mix of zoom R lens and primes in my physical kit. So I’d like to be able to switch between all my lenses in the app quickly. When your kit only has prime lenses it’s great because you select the ones you own in app and use the arrows to switch between them quickly. -we need to be able to add zoom lenses into this organization and switch between them with the arrows the sam

Thank you so much for adding this feature. I use a focus mode while filming projects and I consolidate all the apps I need for productions within that mode. I even have a customized lock screen and with this new widget I can be way more productive!

Awesome app. Well done. Please add virtual people (stand-ins).

Perfect for shotlist setups!!

Cadrage will save you a lot of guessing, time and money. If you are a cinematographer, photographer, location sound mixer, set designer or location scout, or anyone that needs to have critical technical information, with lens info and geo-tagging, to make your life easier and equip you to excel in your job, then this needs to be in your kit. Buy it. You won’t regret it. Oh, I forgot to mention that it’s very affordable.

Great app and this has been a game changer in pre-production!

This is a great little tool, super easy to use has most cameras and lenses. You can even add custom lens options too. I use it on every shoot.

Use this app on every scout. Well designed and includes every lens I can think of.

Powerful and easy to use.

It allows location scouting to become a joy!

This app is great. It gives me a good perspective on what my camera and lenses are capable of.

Love the layout. It’s sober. All the formats in it. Frame lines overlay. Clarify misconceptions about sensor crops etc. Love the ability to generate a shot list.

Awesome app! Using it to work through shots during run throughs.
