Camera Companion is available as a Standard subscription for comprehensive camera control and a Premium subscription for more than two cameras and extra features like MIDI support via physical control devices. Learn more and access free trials in the subscription menu.
Smaller productions, owner operators, or specialists such as drone companies may opt for a direct network where the cameras act as network hosts. Many other productions, however, will want to establish a set network where all the cameras being used on set are connected wirelessly to a router and act as network clients. In this type of interconnected multi-camera environment, the Camera Companion App is an indispensable and time-saving tool.
