Cinematic zoom control

The first real zoom control for iPhone

We built the first real zoom control for iPhone because we wanted to be able to zoom the same way we would on set.

Full zoom speed control and a thumb joystick for control. We’ve also added different zoom curves, like the ones found on real zoom controls.

Lens Coverage Overlay

Vignettes from real lenses

Lenset helps you see if and how a chosen lens vignettes on your chosen camera and format.

Every vignette comes from a lens we tested properly at Ljud & Bildmedia rental house in Stockholm.

So far we have vignettes for 335 lenses, and each update adds more.

Location Scout

Sun data, in every capture

Every capture is tagged with sun data for planning when to shoot.

So you can go back when you didn’t have time or forgot to check the sun path.
