The latest update for the Blackmagic Camera app enhances its functionality significantly for solo creators. Version 3.3, released by Blackmagic Design, introduces compatibility with the Apple Watch, allowing users to control and monitor their iPhone’s camera remotely within a Wi-Fi range.
This new feature enables users to manage recording functions, control zoom, and adjust settings such as frame rate and ISO directly from their wrist. The app’s integration with the ATEM Mini switcher offers additional capabilities for streamers, providing a seamless connection when paired with the $420 Camera ProDock.
With the ProDock, users can link their iPhone 17 Pro or Pro Max to an ATEM Mini switcher using a single HDMI cable. This setup allows for real-time adjustments to zoom and focus, effectively transforming an iPhone into a live broadcast camera. Additional enhancements, including ProRes RAW stabilization and various bug fixes, are also part of this update, which is now available for free on the Apple App Store.
