No matter you're a daily vlogger, a commercial director, or a well-established filmmaker, you will benefit from Protake's features, including:

# MODES

· AUTO Mode: a mode optimized for vloggers and YouTubers, you can use it single-handedly, with our cinematic looks and professional composition assistants.
· PRO Mode: a mode designed for professional filmmakers. All the camera information and control settings are well aligned on the screen. The feature you want is always there on the screen.

# COLOR

· LOG: it's not only a genuine LOG gamma curve -- we strictly matched your mobile device's color to the industrial standard - ALEXA Log C. Besides the benefit of an outstanding dynamic range, colorists can use all their color solutions for ALEXA cameras with the footage from your phone.
· Cinematic Looks: we provided a dozen of cinematic looks for filmmakers -- the styles are categorized into Neutral Styles, Film Emulation (classic Kodak and Fuji cinema film), Movie Inspired (blockbusters and indie masterpieces), and ALEXA Looks.

# ASSITANTS

· Frame Drop Notice: Mobile devices are not designed as professional cinema cameras, therefore, you need to know immediately when a frame is dropped.
· Monitoring tools: Waveform, Parade, Histogram, RGB Histogram, Audio Meter.
· Composition assistants: Aspect Ratios, Safe Area, Thirds, Crosshairs, and 3-axis Horizon Indicators.
· Exposure assistants: Zebra Strips,False Color, Exposure Compensation, Auto Exposure.
· Focus assistants: Focus Peaking and Auto Focus.
· Recording: Record Beeper, Record Flash, Volume Key Record.
· Zooming and Focusing: A-B Point.

# DATA

· Frame Rate Normalization: Mobile devices don't have perfect frame rate control, therefore, it's easy to get non-standard variable frame rate. Protake solves this problem fundamentally and makes strictly constant FPS of 24, 25, 30, 60, 120, etc.
· File-naming: All the video files saved by Protake use the standard naming system: Camera Unit + Reel Number + Clip Count + Date + Suffix. It's something like "A001C00203_200412_IR8J.MOV"... Sounds familiar?
· Metadata: Everything including device model, ISO, shutter angel, white balance, lens, connected accessories, location, are all well recorded in the file's metadata.
· Time code: We provided both options for you -- Free Run and Record Run. It's compatible with your cinema cameras.

Reviews

Looks promising...
Cats Rule 4

When I open the app, all the features show, but the camera is all black. Even on the recorded files, the video is all black.


Easy to use but lacking key options
LongTermUser64

I like the app layout and was really looking forward to using the app. But i found that in the Pro mode you cannot tap to focus like in auto mode or in all other video apps I have used. The other issue for me is in the Portrait mode...it is limited to 1080 w data rate capped at 48k. ( I have an iPhone 12Pro Max for those wondering. )


Bitrate
Sky633

Needs control of bitrate! Then it will be a 5 star app!


Great app but recently found a huge flaw that needs to be fixed.
Yourath

I have the paid pro version. I recently went camping where there was completely no reception. I could not use the camera app without reception because the app has to log into your account to allow you to use the pro features. Free auto features were usable but I paid for pro so I can film in manual. The app was completely useless without Internet. Please fix that issue so we can use what we paid for without an Internet connection.


When will we get 10 bit log for iPhone 12 Pro Max?
weekendwannabefilmr

Love the camera control menus, as they are logical and easy to use (much like my bmpcc 4k). No digging thru layers of menus, just to set your color balance, iso and focus peaking. And while the 8 bit log profile works well with DaVinci Resolve’s Arri rec 709 LUT, the limits of 8 bit color are apparent when grading. I will rate this app with 6+ stars, if we get 10 bit log for iPhone Pro Max. Filmic Pro already has 10 bit log, but their camera controls are obtuse and fiddly, and not really appropriate for run and gun filming. I really hope that ProTake delivers 10 bit log soon. Please?!?


Best Videography App just missing a few things
Jsignature

This is the best videography app that I have used and I have tried them all. The interface is something special it’s easy to use all controls fully at your fingertips without having to muddle around deep in settings and I would fully make this my only default video recording camera but their are a few things missing 1. Remote camera access having the ability to control and view what is being filmed from an Apple Watch and also another Apple product like an iPad is so helpful for those of us doing solo video shoots. 2. Being able to control multiple video devices through the interface as well being able to use 3 device signed into with the pro account is great but I can’t remotely view or start a recording. 3: Adding more filters would love to see an 8mm filter and even a vhs filter for the nice retro effects.


Would like Freefly Movi Robot support
runerider

Although I just started to use this, I’m hesitant to upgrade to the pro version, as use my Movi gimbal a lot, which is supported by Filmic Pro (as well as 1.33 anamorphic lenses) - are you going to include Movi cinema robot support anytime soon? Thanks!


Lovin app need added the features
BamStudiosYT

Should ADDED the features with these DJI OM 4 or DJI OM 3 or any of DJIs gimbals stabilizer
