Monitor+

This app is incredible. I’m already using the full paid version regularly. Great work to the developer. Got one big/issue. Another reviewer of this app also mentioned a feature not mirroring in video mode that does mirror in photo mode: Focus Magnifier. If the developer can get focus magnifier working in video mode, that would be so appreciated. Right now while filming on my Sony a6700, I need to look down at the tiny camera screen for checking focus with Focus Magnifier. I’d much prefer to be seeing that magnified focus mirrored in this app on my larger phone screen. Again, everything else feels so great. The app runs smooth everywhere else and I’m grateful for its existence.

monitor+ has brought tons of functionality to my smartphone at times when i dont want to carry around a full blown monitor on top of the hdmi cable, battery, etc, and it still offers just as much amount of value. maybe i just need a quick look at the scene on a slightly bigger screen, maybe i want to desqueeze my anamorphic lenses on a solo personal project, maybe im traveling and packing a monitor just isnt an option. this app does everything i need it to for my purposes EXCEPT one thing. i use the sony A7C II and like other newer models i can switch between photo, video, and slow motion video. when my camera is set to photo mode and i use the focus magnifier to check focus on my manual lenses the monitor also zooms in which is perfect; HOWEVER, in video mode the monitor+ app does NOT zoom with the focus mangifier, its a small gripe i have but a big one, it just slows down the process of me checking my focus while shooting video, if theres a workaround to this or this becomes fixed, i'd recommend the pro version of this app to every videographer i know. TL;DR: focus magnifier action does not work on monitor+ app when newer camera model is toggled to video mode

This app is awesome and is well worth the money you spend on it. Like, totally worth the buy. The only issue I have is with the slight delay between the app and the phone when recording, and I am shooting with a7iv and have the app set to low quality playback, to minimize lag. I even have camera set to 5gHz Wi-Fi. Even then there is about 20ms of lag between the two devices, and the frames sometimes tend to drop on the app, which makes me refer to the camera screen again. Other than this, the app is awesome. The fact we can load LUTs is amazing. I would love for there to be a future update where I could connect my phone via cable direct to the camera for instant lag-free playback and viewing. I’m sure it can be done!
