FiLMiC Pro ($3.99) by Cinegenix, LLC is a video recording app, that speaks the language of film-making. I’ve included this app because sometimes, you just need an extra camera. While the iPhone is no DSLR, if you have at least an iPhone 4 you get a capable HD video camera built-in.

There are many competing apps in the iOS appstore, but this is the best in my opinion (and I’ve tried most of them). See my review after the break.

Hi folks! I’ve been working on a fairly big project for GeekRev. As the title of this post describes, I’ve put together a virtual gear bag of iOS apps that help the HDSLR videographer who owns an iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch. This is a series of posts, each one dedicated to a separate iOS app, but I will update this post as a “master-list” so that you can find everything in one spot once the series is done. I’ll fill in the list below as we go along! Continue reading “HDSLR Videographer’s Virtual Gear Bag (iOS Apps)”
