A good tool if you don’t mind buying the lifetime license

I originally wrote a review with 1 star because it only was allowing me to subscribe to CameraKit in monthly or yearly payments. Upon being contacted by the developer, they let me know there is a lifetime license purchase to buy CameraKit for $50. It seems a bit steep for someone like me who would maybe use CameraKit a handful of times over the course of several years, so I think CameraKit just isn’t meant for someone like me. I’d probably purchase the lifetime license if it was around $20, but $50 is just too rich for my blood, and that’s ok. If you use tons of cameras and lenses and film all the time, CameraKit seems really solid, if not just a tad expensive.

Incredibly useful

Before I was a novice filmmaker. I honestly had no idea that there were different formats. This has changed the game for me in how I film, and it gives me so many shortcuts when I am out on a shoot. Also, the pricing model is incredibly fair. Bravo!

Great for My Work

I use CameraKit frequently at my job where I work as a production specialist for a college film department. It helps me keep track of tons of cameras that we own. I can quickly look up the answer to a question that a student or I may have.

Makes my job so much easier

I work for one of the largest electronics resellers in the world. CameraKit helps me answer my customers questions regarding formats, media capacity, frame rates, etc, etc. It’s become an essential tool. Love it!

Filmmaker's Pocket BFF!!

A filmmaker's true best friend that lives inside your pocket!!! (on your iPhone). No need to ask any anymore frustrating "quick questions" while on set or in the editing room. Cohesive design and intuitive functions for finding those answers to formatting needs and fast! Seriously awesome. Get it.

Beautiful and functional

CameraKit is well designed and a very positive experience. Here are a couple things I would like to see tweaked in the future to make that experience even better:

-When adding multiple favorites, it always defaults to the 'Formats' tab. I would prefer it to remember which tab you were last using, at least within the same open app session. Less taps, more intuitive that way.

-This one is more critical. For some cameras with multiple generations, you aren't aware of which generation you're getting the info for. For instance, is this the C100 or C100 mk 2? Is this RED Scarlet MX, or Dragon? Etc. This type of info should be made clear.

Overall, CameraKit is quite a treat and I appreciate its existence.

Very Handy

I've been working as an videographer and editor in NYC for years and I've been hoping than someone would release an app with this sort of functionality. Extremely useful on set or in post production.


By


Beautifully Designed

A beautifully designed easy to use reference for camera to NLE workflows and format compatibility.

Loses one star because some of the Avid and Red codecs don't yet include 100% accurate information for all frame rates. BUT that said the developer is super responsive about user submitted corrections and adding new formats!


By


Excellent!

Lots of different formats, up to date with current frame rates and recent cameras. You can save the cameras you use most so you can access them quickly. A+


By


Love this App!!

Easy to use, and saved me a ton of time when tiring to figure out hard drive space issues for various cameras & formats. I would love to see the Sony A7s in the mix.
