I'm so excited!

I'm so excited!

I'm so glad I waited to order it cos they recently updated the lens to come with a sun hood and an updated version of the threaded case.

F/1.05 Aperture
Captures significantly more light than typical phone cameras, keeping shots bright and clean even in dim night scenes. Delivers pure physical bokeh that no algorithm can fake.

Downloadable Kino LUTs

I recently bought Kino and I want to know if the built-in LUTs are available to download anywhere.

Editing through the app changes the quality of my recordings, often halving the bitrate. I’d rather apply them while editing on my macbook.

I also move all my fresh recordings onto a drive. So to apply the LUTs I have to then reimport them to my phone, apply them, and then copy the new photos back to my mac to edit them.

Moment Pro II or Kino for casual videography?

After trying Kino on a friend's phone and being a bit disappointed, I wanted to know if Moment would be worth the purchase or if I should give Kino a second chance.

Also, is there another video app that might be worth it? (Final Cut Camera and Blackmagic are not what I'm looking for).

What I liked about Kino:

  • Simple, easy to use UI
  • Beautiful set of preloaded LUTs
  • Focus peaking (would love to see a focus loupe though)

What I disliked about Kino:

  • No control over bitrate; with bitrate being very inconsistent
  • Files saved with the wrong date, and weird file names (3 videos from the same session all being named 'movie1')
  • App crashes and disappearing UI elements (like the zoom toggles)
  • Videos were worse quality than the stock camera, while being larger in file-size

Where does Moment beat Kino and where does it fall short?

P.S. I do already use No Fusion for photography.

I’m not sure how to feel about the final photo. It was a hot day so there was a lot of haze and heat distortion.

Preserve Settings doesn’t work for White Balance

I’ve started noticing that the No Fusion app doesn’t seem to follow the setting I have set for White Balance.

It’s currently set to reset upon app closure, but it always stays on whatever the last WB setting I choose.
