Today, there’s a considerable debate over how necessary standalone cameras are in a world where smartphones dominate digital photography. While this debate has merit depending on the application, it’ll be long before a smartphone replaces my standalone camera, especially as a tool for shooting video.
My current camera of choice is the Sony FX30—it’s pound for pound the best value in digital videography.

With this app, you cannot only monitor your feed from cameras like the FX30, A7S III, A7 IV, and others, but it also affords users an insane amount of control—both wired and wirelessly!
In this video walkthrough, I showcase my Sony FX30 camera rig, with the iPhone 16 Pro as its companion. Be sure to subscribe to 9to5Mac on YouTube for more videos.

I didn’t have the best first impressions of Camera Control either, but that’s completely changed in the six months since I got my iPhone 16 Pro.

It’s been about a month since Apple released the iPhone 16 lineup. As an iPhone 15 Pro Max user, I was honestly quite disappointed keeping up with the rumors, as it sounded like Apple had nothing interesting in store other than just larger displays.
However, there was one key upgrade with the iPhone 16 lineup that didn’t necessarily appear in the rumors, and it got me to pull the trigger.
