Blackmagic camera focus

Features & Capabilities

Please note: EF-mount camera bodies are not currently supported, as they use a different focus method over Bluetooth but a solution is being worked on.

Control focus on your Blackmagic camera over Bluetooth using LiDAR (for auto-focus) or use a manual control.

All of the features can be tested for free for an unlimited time.

LiDAR FOCUS CONTROL LiDAR Focus Control is available for iOS devices that have a LiDAR scanner. After calibration, point the device at any subject and the app will instantaneously measure the distance using LiDAR and calculate the focus value for the camera.

MANUAL MODE Manual Mode will work with any iOS device and solves a common problem when using stills lenses to shoot moving pictures: a limited focus throw. Using this app, the focus throw can be extended, allowing precise control to match that of a lens designed for a movie camera. Markers and optional haptic feedback allow the focus puller to feel when the focus reaches a set point without having to look at the image, making the experience closer to a traditional focus puller.

Both of these solutions mean the focus puller can stand and operate separate to the camera operator.

User Reviews

I am SERIOUSLY urging the developer of this app to return to this app and upgrade a few things here and there Using the camera for face detection (similar to the DJI lidar system), allowing for you to virtually offset the point that the focus is looking at in 3D space, essentially allowing you to place the lidar without needing it to be exactly parallel with the lens to function properly, and maybe a more guided calibration process obviously that's a lot to develop, but I would seriously be willing to pay upwards not $100 for an app that does that stuff, easily.

I was super excited to use this app but when I connect my camera… nothing works. I try to change the focus value and nothing changes on my camera. It’s very frustrating. Please let me know if there’s a fix as I spent the money and would love to use this app.

You can spend several hundreds of dollars and get a dedicated LiDAR device, or $12 and get this. It’s as simple as that. This app is certainly a little rough around the edges, but now means I can enjoy perfectly tracked dolly or Steadicam shots where before I needed to have a dedicated focus puller on the shoot.
