Used by established directors, cinematographers & VFX supervisors worldwide, Artemis works in much the same way as a traditional directors viewfinder but more accurately and with many additional features. It's perfect for blocking, location scouting or making storyboards, as some of our users attest....

Roger Deakins ASC, BSC (Cinematographer: Unbroken, Prisoners, Skyfall, The Company of Men, The Shawshank Redemption)
"It’s great having Artemis on my iPhone. Since I always have my phone with me, I always have a viewfinder at hand. Not only convenient but extremely accurate."

Richard Loncraine (Director: The Special Relationship, Firewall, Richard III, Wimbledon)
"Artemis is an accurate, compact professional viewfinder that in my opinion cant be beaten. I used it on "Ruth and Alex" with Morgan Freeman and Diane Keaton, where it dramatically shortened the time it took to get our set ups. I have used everything viewfinder available over the last 40 years but non of them compare to Artemis.”

Phedon Papamichael ASC (Cinematographer: Monuments Men, Nebraska, The Descendants, Sideways)
“Artemis is always in my pocket - no more need for a PA carrying a large case of lenses up a mountain on a scout. It's changed the way we do things!”

Terry McDonough (Director: Breaking Bad, Hell on Wheels, An Adventure In Space And Time)
"When in prep, it’s hard to be in the same country with your heads of department let alone the same state let alone the same room, Artemis makes it feel like you are."

Bruno Delbonnel ASC, AFC (Cinematographer: Big Eyes, Inside Llewyn Davis, Amelie, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince)
"Artemis is a great viewfinder. I use it a lot when scouting. And since it's very accurate you can show a frame to whoever needs to see what the shot will be or could be....and discuss it."

Yves Bélanger CSC (Cinematographer: Dallas Buyers Club, Laurence Always, Ma Fille, Mon Ange)
"Artemis is the best invention for film people since the expresso machine!"

Barry Ackroyd BSC (Cinematographer: Captain Phillips, Hurt Locker, United 93)
"Artemis makes me feel smarter than I was without it. It’s the sharpest tool on my iPhone."

Linus Sandgren FSF (Cinematographer: American Hustle, Promised Land, 6 Souls)
"Artemis is an amazing Swiss army knife style lens kit that has helped me frame up countless shots in any format in an instant.”

Sean Bobbit BSC (Cinematographer: 12 Years a Slave, Oldboy, Hunger)
"I never leave home without Artemis. It is the one app I can guarantee will be used everyday on the job."

Roberto Schaefer ASC, AIC (Cinematographer: Quantum of Solace, The Kite Runner, Stranger than Fiction)
“I agree with what every other DP on the planet says about Artemis. They are all correct. Nothing comes close to Artemis for a convenient pocket size viewfinder, even on my iPad mini which fits in my cargo pants pockets."

Larry McConkey SOC (Steadicam: 12 Years a Slave, World War Z, Hugo, The Bourne Ultimatum)
"Artemis has made my life much easier. Instead of carrying a traditional viewfinder with lenses and a monitor, I can use Artemis with iPro on my iPhone for accurate scouts and rehearsals anytime, anywhere. I use Artemis HD on my iPad when I need a larger image that groups of people can see easily. With Artemis, I can set marks during rehearsals and be confident that when I have my Steadicam on ready to shoot, the frame will be exactly as I planned."

David Franco (Cinematographer: Game of Thrones, Boardwalk Empire, The Bridge, The Whole Nine Yards)
"Since I discovered Artemis, there is never a day at work that I don’t use it. Whether in prep, making story boards or lining up shots with the director, Artemis is a workhorse tool.”

Will there be a discount on Pro fro Legacy owners?


Glad I bought a month and a half ago
drthunders

I wouldn’t have paid the $30 if I Knew a completely new version was coming out.


The latest upgrade crashes constantly!
CamOp

Sadly, I just did the upgrade and on my iPhone 8 it crashes each time I try to take a screenshot or frequently when I try to tighten or loosen the millimeter size. I was very happy with Artemis but now, as a professional camera operator who was using this app each time we changed our set up. Very disappointed!!!!!!


No love for original buyers
Filmmaker24

Was an original user of this app and then they decided to come out with a new version of it but want you to pay for it again, as a new app, no thanks! I’ve moved on to Cadrage Directors viewfinder and couldn’t be happier. When you try and double dip your customers with a “new” app, they’ll find something better and something that gets updated more regularly.


Left down...
Dusk73

So this App cost $30.00. Making one of if not the MOST expensive App in my phone. And now rather than just updated this App. The developer is making you rebuy a “new” version for the same price?... not cool. Of and when I purchase a new or different version. It’ll be a competitors App.


After paying for Artemis, I have to pay for it again
Saad Nawab

I paid for Artemis once, why do I have to pay another 30$ for a Pro Version. That’s so stupid. Just another way to fool people and make more money. What next? Artemis Premium?


Forcing to buy new app
Davincicode4566

I already paid for this app now it wants me to buy it again because of an update. Horrible rip off and gouging of customers. Shame on you!


Forcing to buy new version

30 bucks and now it's redundant??? Fraud of a company, who knows they'll change again and make you buy another one, stay away from these fraudsters


Have a DSLR, a bunch of lenses, and shoot video? GET THIS APP
broadcast_guy

This is one of my favorite and most useful tools/apps on my iPhone. I've used it on everything from commercials, documentaries, and short films. It helps save time on location by previewing FOV without having to change lens after lens after lens. If you have a bunch of prime lenses, this will help you see which one to use for the look and feel you are after. Not only does it have presets, it also allows you to customize, which has been very helpful too. I can't live without this amazing app now. Whenever I pack my cameras, I make sure I bring this along too. Lastly, I have owned the app for years now and the developers have kept updating and improving on it. Without this app, you're just wasting you time on location!
