Haven't got a real monitor for my FX30 yet, so I just USB-C to the Creators app on my phone. Boom, free monitor with a 6.5" screen, low latency, good touch, and all the controls.
@@MoneyMunday Used it yesterday on USB-C, no real noticeable latency with some walking around. Wireless is barely perceptible. I would need a third device to record the real difference. Gotta borrow another phone or camera 😆
That is insanely cool! Some features you usually only have on big sets for a lot of money. What Sony is doing the last couple of years is just really impressive. Thanks for the video and demo of the features!
@@omerbulbul8185 Yes, It worked just fine for now. But you know what’s the real potential problem? Is to keep it working and for Sony developers not to screw things up in few days or months. That’s why I have a plan B with “Monitor+” app .
This is so incredible. Both the app and your video/explanation of the app. Unfortunately, my current camera is not supported. Already 'saved' this video so I can remember to get it when I finally upgrade my camera! Cheers!
Fair play from Sony, really. This is a great app for filming yourself for free. What's best about it is that you can sync all of them together = less work in post.
Absolutely brilliant video mate, thank you for going into such depth & detail in your testing. I'll be using this app on every shoot I do now - such a feature-packed tool to use. cheers!!
We’d been debating about switching over to Sony for our setup on my husband’s channel. This just helped us make that decision! A friend on Twitter sent me this video. Thank you!
Dang it!!! I just downloaded the APP and as I was reading the comments I found the bad news about the 7IV :( I'm guessing it will be coming down the pipeline.
Reminds me of the red control app. Very similar function. Every camera these days are just straight up computers, makes sense that this support should be easy to implement
Been using this for the past few months and was wondering why no one was talking about it. It's blimen baller. I only use my ninja for ssd recording now.
Thanks so much - I love that you go into such great detail and especially, most importantly, demonstrate how you would typically use something in field in several scenarios. Really in depth.
Very comprehensive! Love it dude! Well done on those tests, I really loved how u used it out in the real world and said the issues with the distance. Genius lil app and I hope there’s continued support for this one! Well done Sony! Now all I need is a camera that supports this! I’m still on the a7s2 so it’s definitely not supported unfortunately. ):
Finally Sony is doing exactly what we all need, I really hope that we get more control over timecode in the future so that it can also be synchronised with the app
Looks awesome 🤩 Unfortunately not for my combo A7IV/A7III... 😩 But it's good to see you man, it's been a while I didn't bump into one of your video 😊🙏✨
@@nialbenton9757 I just downloaded the APP and updated my camera software. It's still not working. After checking the list of supported camera, I only discovered that the @7iv isn't in the list... Why????
It works on the A7iv now, but unfortunately no gamma assist option when shooting in Slog3. Kinda defeats the whole purpose. At least the monitor + app allows you to use a LUT
Great job on the overview! The app looks very functional. 🤩 I vaguely have heard of it but haven't yet had any Sony cameras or a tablet to use it with. Seems functional enough to consider getting a setup just for that.
Wut no A7IV.? that's probably why i haven't used it all these yrs.. I have the zhiyun app, which is a bit of comfort with HDMI wifi submitter, but multicam with this app and a7iv and 6700 could really benefit my workflow.
Great video on this app! I had it before and really feel I need to install it again now when I have an iPad. Will be useful in the studio!! Can you take photos in the app as well? This would be so dope to use for focus bracketing since Sony don't have a camera that does it.
Mate this is a game changer! I was about to take the hit for a Ninja but now I can save the dosh! It's actually better than that. I'd need a wireless transmitter to monitor all my cameras on a shoot but with this app I can now do everything on my phone. I got rid of my iPad last year but now I can spend the dosh on a new one.
I'd love to use it, but my FX3's bluetooth stopped working once I upgraded the firmware to 5.0 :/ happened to more people than just me so it's a known issue, I hope Sony does something about it.
Sony is losing customers because of this. They even have the audacity to charge some customers 700 dollars to fix it. Ive already decided that I'm never buying a Sony camera ever again
My friend over @cameranerdsmedia has a whole series on this issue. Definitely give it a watch man. It’s insane that that’s been happening and feel for you 🙏
@@Samvisualarts dude, my 16-35 gm lens just stopped working mid shoot, F-- error, no autofocus, and sony charging 600$ to fix it, how about that! Totally dissapointed. Great lens though, used it for 3 years roughly may be bit more.
Had this issue with my a7s3. Luckily I bought extended warranty and sent it in to have the mainboard replaced ($1000). On the sony website they address this issue saying it's a hardware problem. So I don't think a firmware will fix it, unless you are able to rollback to an earlier version. Total BS!!! I will not buy another Sony cause of this
I have been using the monitor+ app to do this. Glad to know that Sony has its own. Would be nice if they can extend it to other models too. The multi-cam was the one lacking from the monitor+ app.
no. And this problem was annoying me for quite a while now. Modern phones & tablets has usb-c connectivity, and it is possible to pass video signal by utilizing DisplayPort AltMode. Why Sony didn't bother implementing this thing in their own phones (instead of adding HDMI input to Sony Xperia phone), stays secret to me.
Great video. The waveform changing with LUTS is not only the app, the FX6 does this as well on the VF and SDI/HDMI outs. Really would like the ability for the waveform to just monitor the recorded signal
Heck to the Yea man always so informative and dialed! We do some live productions "on a budget" and this is great! Thank you for this information bruuda!
Hey James, this is awesome. Much appreciated, awesome LUT btw. I have an A7S3 and wanted to know how to import the LUT onto the M&C app. I've looked everywhere but can't seem to find how to do it. Would love some guidance, thanks.
Yes I want to know this to. I think if you can't load a LUT onto your camera, then you can't view it on the app either. Let's hope they update the app to at least have the gamma assist option
How long did it take to sync up the audio when you’re switching between headshot and overhead on the iPad? 😂 it’s the little details that make the difference 🤌🏼
Damn this app is 4+ years old and we are all JUST now benefiting from it lol. LOVE IT! Thanks for this video bro!
It used to be very blurry, and no touch focus. I almost can't believe it has it now. It was something I wished for.
No thanks, show the install and all the extra permissions related to use it. It wanted precise location, wifi and Bluetooth. PRIVACY ISSUES!!!!!
you're telling me all this time i've been using imaging edge i could've used this instead?! 😭
@@A.eye_101how would you make this app work without those?
@@A.eye_101 how do you think it connects with the camera through magic? lmaooooooo

I knew this would be right up your alley
Haven't got a real monitor for my FX30 yet, so I just USB-C to the Creators app on my phone. Boom, free monitor with a 6.5" screen, low latency, good touch, and all the controls.
Same thing. But i also use it as a remote monitor to film myself. Creators app is much much better than previous sony's app
@@RomaTopOdin Yeah, Imaging Edge was very... slow. Still useful on the desktop though.
Does a USB-C direct connection drop the latency a lot, compared to using it wirelessly?

Use this app all the time, It's not even close how much better this is than any other camera app out there. Props to Sony.
you're the man. i used it a lot on the iphone but i didn't even know you can control up to 4 cameras!! That's crazy. Thanks mate
Same! Didn't know it could do multi-cam
Thank you Professor Matthews!
Mr Vong! What a pleasure
Sick walkthrough and neat stuff!
Multi cam implementation is a gamechanger, been waiting for this feature for years.
Worked flawlessly with my A7c II. All functions worked (Video Only). Connected wirelessly to iPhone 14Pro and iPad Pro M1.
on the website it says works on several video based models like fx 3 , s3 . fx 6 ,fx30 .If it works a7c 2 and a7 iv its perfect
Can confirm it works on a7c II@@omerbulbul8185
