pCAM Pro - Film+Digital App Reviews

Great app, BUT it should access camera on iPhone to give the exact POV of the shot, rather than using cartoon cutouts which do not simulate your actual actors. Can’t say it can’t be done, cause the app “Cadrage” does it and it is rated very high in the App Store. When using your camera, it superimposes the frame (depending on the lens you select) over your camera’s frame.

...but I have used this incredibly useful app both on my MacBookPro as well as my iPhone. It's in constant update as new cameras are introduced. There are times when I need technical backup to explain a potential "watch-out" to a client. I'm not technical and that's why I use pCAM Pro. It simplifies very technical information. It's worth every penny.

This piece of programming is a major service to the industry. It’s clearly driven by love because it’s certainly not driven by money. Thank you, David! Bill Dill, ASC

Love the app. So many tools to make sure your production looks & feels great. The only thing that would make the app better from my experience with the app, is when previewing your shot in “Field of View”, the app should access your phone’s camera where the user can see exactly what their shot will look like depending on the camera and lens being used, rather than cartoon cut-outs that include dimensions (because people are different sizes and shapes). That feature would make this app perfect.

As a VFX Supervisor and Artist, this app is a necessary part of my kit. I use it for sensor size comparisons, FOV dimensions, and a myriad of other camera and lighting items that are important for the VFX team. If you’re in the industry, you need this app.

I’ve been using pCAM since it was on palm pilot. It is THE cinematography resource, and the standard for which all other similar apps must be judged.

This is a must have app if you are a cinematographer or photographer.

As a 1st AC it gives me confidence in the decisions I make and the focus I pull. Thank you!

Superb software at a very reasonable price for value received.
