Super Members BTM_Pix Posted August 25, 2019 Super Members Share Posted August 25, 2019 So, the list of 487 ongoing projects can now officially be reduced to 486 with the launch of this new app for Android. Whilst the 3C app offers Comprehensive Camera Control of all of the parameters of the BlackMagic cameras, there are some users who just need a Bloody Big Button to control the record start/stop so welcome to 3B. Intended for handheld or mounted via a phone adapter on a rig/gimbal/tripod handle, 3B is a simple way to activate and monitor the Record Start/Stop on your Blackmagic camera but also provides a live status view of the following parameters from the camera. Aperture ISO Shutter Angle Temperature Tint White Balance Preset 3B is a single screen, no menu app and features an oversized record button to enable easy activation and the screen provides high visibility confirmation when the camera is in record. As 3B provides a much reduced feature set compared to 3C, it also comes with a much reduced price and is available for €1.99. So if you don't need all of the bells and whistles of 3C and just need a simple start/stop controller and monitor for your Blackmagic camera that has a record status indication that is visible from the moon, 3B is now available on the Play store on the following link. https://tinyurl.com/CDATEK-3B Katrikura, kye, ntblowz and 2 others 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Andrew Reid Posted August 25, 2019 Administrators Share Posted August 25, 2019 Great stuff. Let me know if you'd like a test user on the Pocket 6K, as it looks like I have one on the way from the Netherlands. BTM_Pix 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only if you promise to test it using your new faux military bros phone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Members BTM_Pix Posted August 25, 2019 Author Super Members Share Posted August 25, 2019 Not that anyone should really need a user guide for an app with only one button but, just in case, here it is.

MeanRevert Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 This is a great idea. Any recommendations for a small, easily mounted to body but still usable Android device? BTM_Pix 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you! It doesn't do it at the moment. I'll look at it for v1.2 4 hours ago, MeanRevert said: This is a great idea. Any recommendations for a small, easily mounted to body but still usable Android device? The one in the pictures is the Pixi 4 which is £30 on Amazon. Its not exactly state of the art when it comes to phones but its perfectly adequate for this or the 3C app as well. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Alcatel-Android-Smartphone-SIM-Free-Renewed/dp/B07N4P18DG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, for a wrist based Record solution you'll have to wait for the release of our PBC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have idea on release date and pricing yet? And I assume the button being pushed is start/stop recording? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a bit behind schedule as the expander controller that works with it has had a re-design but it will be on Kickstarter in a few weeks with delivery pretty much straight after the end of the campaign. The basic unit will be €60 and the expander will be €45.
