Blackmagic Design has just dropped a game-changer for mobile filmmakers with the release of version 2.0 of its Blackmagic Camera app for iOS. Packed with powerful new features, this update is set to revolutionize how we shoot and manage video on our iPhones and iPads.

Multi-Camera Mastery

One of the most exciting additions to the app is the ability to remotely control and monitor multiple iPhone cameras simultaneously. Imagine the possibilities! With this feature, you can essentially transform your iPhone into a professional-grade multi-camera setup. Whether you’re shooting a live event, a documentary, or a complex production, the ability to control multiple cameras from a single device is a game-changer.

The app allows you to view up to nine cameras at once, giving you complete control over settings like zoom, focus, white balance, and frame rate. And with the support for Apple Silicon-based iPad Pros, you can turn your iPad into a command center, making it easier than ever to manage your multi-camera shoot.

High Frame Rates and Beyond

For those who crave cinematic slow-motion footage, the iPhone 15 Pro users will be thrilled to know that the app now supports high frame rate recording at up to 100 fps in 1080p. This opens up a world of creative possibilities for capturing stunning slow-motion shots.

In addition to multi-camera control and high frame rates, the update also includes a range of other useful features. Batch copying and deleting clips will significantly speed up your workflow, and the ability to instantly upload proxy and original files to Blackmagic Cloud Storage is a huge time-saver.

Performance and Compatibility

Blackmagic has also focused on improving the overall performance and stability of the app, ensuring a smoother user experience.

To take advantage of these new features, you’ll need an iPhone running iOS 17.0 or later with an A12 Bionic chip or newer. iPad users will need an A12 Bionic chip or later and iPadOS 17.0. The app is also compatible with Apple’s Vision Pro headset.

Final thoughts

Blackmagic’s Camera app 2.0 is a significant leap forward for mobile filmmaking. With its powerful new features, including multi-camera control, high frame rates, and improved workflow tools, it empowers creators to produce professional-quality videos directly from their iPhones and iPads. Whether you’re a seasoned filmmaker or just starting, this update is definitely worth checking out.
