Moment Pro Camera II

I’m a clothing reseller and I’ve been struggling with the IPhone camera. Your app has helped with white balance issues, orientation changes and it shoots in square format. None of the other apps I looked at do all 3. I’m still struggling with taking macros photos of tags. They are not coming out well. Also, i’m getting a lot of out of focus photos from the af box being at the edge or needing to be tapped every time. It’s not easy to do when you have a tape measure in one hand and a phone in the other.

I was skeptical at first, that I needed a dedicated cam for my iPhone. I’ve always been fine with Apple’s native cameras and the latest one has some great new features. However, as a photographer for the last 45 years… this ProCamera ii by Moment scratches all the itches I have when using a smart phone as a camera. It even has features that I didn’t know I needed. I’ve known smart phone cameras would eventually replace legacy cameras for most use. I even published photo books using the iPhone 3. The original reason I bought this app is because it’s not subscription and it allows me to use and desqueeze anamorphic lenses, as well as import and bake LUTs into my images… but this app is so much more and does just about everything the way I’d do it if I was designing my own custom camera. At first I was hesitant that it didn’t support recording to external devices, but as soon as I pulled the trigger… an update came out that now supports external recording. For images too! And, it intelligently lets you specify where photos get saved as well as video… and remembers these settings unless you change it. I love the free Blackmagic camera app for video, but more and more… I’m starting to favor this Moment app for video too. The interface is less cluttered and gets out of the way when you need it to. Enthusiastically Highly Recommended!!!

I like the overall part of this app as a casual photographer, but I am miffed it doesn’t operate like I believe it should. Taking pictures at 100mm doesn’t save them for some reason. It takes moment to process, sure, but it’s not processing at all when I take multiple photos in a row, causing me to lose precious moments. I have also had issues where it doesn’t load the camera function at all. Even going back to the default camera app is black, so I think they’re counteracting one another for some reason, locking out my camera entirely. I have to restart my device or wait several minutes for it to figure it out - and this is on the new iPhone. :/ I need to dive deeper into it and I look forward to it, but if it’s not functional in clumsy hands, it’s not for everyone. Accessibility should be the forefront of any development. I look forward to improvements in this area.
