The Apple iPhone video camera just got 100 times better thanks to Blackmagic Design and best news is its free !
No more crappy Vertical shots this app lets you film 16:9 holding your iPhone in its natural position…brilliant ! Downside is you loose a fair bit from your wide lens as seen above.
You can enable Vertical Video in settings but I personally hate this type of framing.
This is an iPhone video game changer in my opinion, forget ProCam etc. Blackmagic Camera is free and for filming with the iPhone its the dogs bollox. Check out Blackmagic Design at the Apple APP store.
