Camera for Stop Motion Studio

This is great. I set a phone in my project and trigger it from my iPad. The iPad allows me to see many things I’d miss on a phone screen. I did experience the slowing down. Each frame taking up to 3-5 mins and that was unworkable. But I figured out it was as my home internet got busy. Consoles, cameras, Netflix…….. so how did I fix it? I cut out relying on my homes Wi-Fi and everything on it. I connected my iPad direct to my phone via my phones hotspot. With no other devices on that “network” this works almost instantly.

This app is useful preferably for still life stop motion- if you are trying to shoot a moving object or person it takes up to a whole minute for the image to send from your remote camera. One click will come from the control device then 1-60 seconds later the remote camera will click. This happens inconsistently and can be frustrating when waiting for the second click because that’s when the actual picture is taken, taking double the time that stop motion itself already takes. When pairing devices, it kept disconnecting every once in a while and wouldn’t connect again until I restarted my device. Overall this app is very useful- I am happy that you can zoom and focus from the control device and it responds to actions in front of the camera quickly.

I thought it was going to be a remote for the app (so you could take pictures without touching and making your camera wobble), however it’s a remote camera which doesn’t really help (at least what I was hoping to do). I am taking pictures and using the studio on an iPad and would like to press a button on my iPhone to have it take the picture. As it stands now I would have to switch to editing on iPhone which would be more annoying or somehow transfer all the pictures from the iPhone to the iPad, or buy a tripod for the iPhone. It’s not the that it’s a bad app only not useful like this for my situation.
