Field kit

Set the phone down. Get in the shot.

Remote Shutter turns two devices into one camera — but the camera half still needs somewhere to stand. This is the gear we reach for on real shoots: tripods, mounts, and lenses that hold the frame steady while you step into it.

Mobile lenses

The mounted phone is the fixed half of the rig — a lens changes what it sees. Wide glass gets the whole group in frame; anamorphic turns the Mac-monitor setup into a small film set.

Works with the app

Frame from the remote

The live preview on your second device shows exactly what the mounted phone sees — walk into the frame and check it from where you stand.

Trigger from your wrist

Phone on the tripod, hands free: fire the shutter from your Apple Watch without touching either device.

Direct from the Mac

Mount the phone, then use your Mac's big screen as the director's monitor — the desk stands above were picked for exactly this.
