Artemis Director's Viewfinder App Comments & Reviews
Artemis Director's Viewfinder Positive Reviews
A couple small feature requestsI really wanted to contact the company directly vs leaving a review but there is no contact link through the support path. So far as lenses are concerned, there are enough Sirui lenses floating out there at this point that it would be nice to have those in the set. Further more, in the generic lens section why not have an option to customize your anamorphic squeeze? They have some 1.3 lenses but their new full frame lenses are an odd size of 1.6x. SmallHD allows this type of adjustment and it would be a great option to have in general. I have also noticed that you cannot select any focal lengths in red. I understand these would create vignetting but sometimes I would be cropping it anyway so I don’t really care if it vignettes, etc. In the case of ZCam, we can mod an MFT mount and put it on an F6 and pretty much get full frame coverage up to about 5k if the rear diameter of the lens allows for that. Any chance of importing our own stand in models or transparent png files would be huge as well. Thanks for such an amazing app, and for adding Z Cam..Version: 5.1
Artemis Pro is great!I find Artemis Pro incredibly useful and easy to use. I was recently on a shoot with several different models of Red cameras, and the Artemis app excelled. The accuracy and flexibility of the app is so useful on a technical and creative level that that I’ve begun to really rely on it. Being able to move around a set or locations and share information with key members of the production is critical. I would highly recommend it cinematographers and camera teams. The Artemis Pro team is extremely knowledgeable and responsive. When I reached out to them about a specific question, their response was fast and accurate..Version: 5.9
Depth of fieldI love this app and I use it all the time for location scouting. It would be really cool to see a live depth of field calculator on the screen while framing a shot. Lets say you are taking a picture with 50mm lens at 2.8 aperture. What would the depth of field equal to as a reference on the screen. This would help to see how much light would be needed for a certain shots..Version: 2.54
Stellar Customer Service!When ArtemisPro first came out, I upgraded. I knew that it would have better features since the developers listen to their clientele. I was right. I use this app on every TV commercial I produce. I don’t micromanage the Directors vision or the DP’s framing but try and previz the oncoming circus that is known as production. If I know the DP who will be shooting the spot, I try to reach out to confirm the camera that might be used. I’ll usually just go with a generic set of primes to cover off the basic FOV. As they say, it’s all in the prep. I’ve had a few questions since this upgrade and depending upon the complexity of the ask, someone gets back to me in 24hrs. I recently had some issues with an uploading process that took some back and forth but fortunately the person I dealt with really wanted to understand the issue. He hung in there and eventually figured it out. Also, the fact that this marries up with HeliosPro, their sun/moon prediction app makes it a winning combo. Go to the hip, it’s worth every penny..Version: 2.33
Great app for professional directors/DPsI pulled the trigger and picked this up to use on a feature I’m shooting soon. I can’t tell you how convenient it is to be able to pull out my phone on set and tell my AC exactly what lens I need in seconds. Beyond that, the team behind Artemis have packed this app with tons of useful pre-vis features. You can definitely tell that Nic and his team are industry vets. Not to mention they have the best customer service I’ve ever experienced, hands down. Blown away by the dedication shown by the dev team, and I know I’ll get lots of use out of Artemis..Version: 7.14
Best Video Pre Production App On MobileI’ve had the app over 3 months now and the amount of information that I’ve been able to gather just by remembering I’ve got this tool on my phone is astounding. Once you it have your camera and lens choices set up, it’s very quick to capture your visual ideas and keep them organized. The only thing that would make this app even better is having the ability to create multiple camera & lens profiles to quickly switch between! Keep up the great work! ✌️😎👍.Version: 4.1
Great app but crushes after a whileMy Artemis pro starts crushing on opening on my iPhone 8 and iPad Air 2. It used to work fine on both device but a while ago it stopped working on my iPad first, show the logo page and quits itself. I tried reboot, reinstall, and even after updating the iOS it still won’t work. And now it starts doing the same thing on my iPhone 8. I also tried rebooting and reinstalling on my iPhone but no luck. Both device has the latest iOS and latest version of Artemis pro. Anyone experience the same issue?.Version: 2.51
Very impressive customer serviceI had an issue with the size of the image displayed on my iPhone and couldn’t figure out how to reset it back to full screen. I sent an email expecting to hear back in a day or two, but instead within minutes I got an email as well as a text and was on the phone with Nic. Solved my issue immediately and allowed me to continue on with my day of scouting with full use of the app. Great service! Thank you guys!.Version: 5.5
Artemis is the real deal!I have used Artemis since it’s beginning… And can’t begin to say enough good things about it… It has been such a huge tool to helping setting up and designing shots. Sharing info with other departments.. it’s a massive timesaver and gives you the ability to communicate with photos and videos exactly what your plan is.. if I could give it an 11 star rating I would!!!! Josh Bleibtreu ASC.Version: 5.96
IncredibleThis is a wonderful app that often makes me stop and marvel: “isn’t technology amazing.” To have a digital view finder that can emulate pretty much any camera and lens set that you’ll ever need, that can take high resolution photos with all the positional data you could want... and now capture video 🤯 All on a device you always have with you. Whatever the price is at the moment - it’s a BARGAIN! Over the past 10 years of my career this has been the most significant addition to my tool box, and with the new iPhone wide lens it just got better. Don’t read the one star reviews. I’ve had this app since version one and it has never crashed on me. Keep up the great work guys!.Version: 2.54
An ESSENTIAL ToolMy Artemis App has replaced my Director’s Finder. It’s inclusive for all who need to know what the Camera will see and helps create a shorthand with the Director. Nic keeps improving the experience and functionality, (I love the Golden Ratio frame lines) and he’s responsive when I need assistance. I use Artemis seamlessly between my IPad and IPhone. Bravo and thank you Nic for all that you do..Version: 7.13
Incredibly detailed and great customer supportI have repeatedly been impressed with the customer service when I’ve had issues that I couldn’t figure out. Also, very impressed with the new update as it’s very flexible regarding frame lines, lens combinations, etc...Version: 7.11
Really Good, until the last updateCrashes every time I open the app. I’ve used it for years with no issues until now. Unfortunately, I didn’t realize there was an problem until I was on set….Version: 7.13
UPDATE - Fixes in process! / For these prices, apps shouldn’t repeatedly crashI just got an email from the developer, and I am extremely impressed that he reached out and is working with me to fix these problems. If every developer was this responsive the world would be a beautiful place. :-) —————————- I just got Artemis Pro and HeliosPro. A number of functions such as trying to change camera info, or zooming in on light pollution maps l cause both apps to crash on iPhone XS Max and iPad Pro, running most current iOS 12. Unacceptable, and very disappointing. These are apps meant to be used by professionals!.Version: 2.41
Just download.Please add a lock screen widget for faster launch times. So I can pick up my phone and get right into the app. Also allow us to save different camera and lens packages. So when moving between different projects I don’t have to redo settings each time..Version: 5.9
EssentialAs a cinematographer, have been using Artemis for all types of projects over the last 5 years. It has become an essential tool for both prepping and shooting. I have been impressed with how the ap has evolved. Thank you! jas.Version: 7.17

Great supportI’ve been using this app for years when scouting. It is a great tool. Recently, I had a problem exporting images. Sent a help request through the app and the developer contacted me almost immediately and helped get a workaround to save the day. Great support that was much appreciated..Version: 7.18
Love the updatesBeing able to share camera and lens settings is very useful. Would love to be able to export camera/lens settings as a QR code so I could print it up and stick it on the lens case. Then when you show up as a daily you scan the code and off you go.. no need to chase another crew member around….Version: 7.14
Great and useful app (with one deficiency)This is such a useful app, but it would be helpful to have a crosshair..Version: 5.9
BugsGreat app, but a lot of bugs. Cant report a bug in the app because there is a bug that prevent the keyboard from going away. Big bug with viewing previously taken photo, opens the most recent photo so you have to swipe through every photo youve taken.Version: 5.9

Why did I wait so long to upgrade my Artemis Legacy?The pro version is simply amazing. Saves so much time during pre pro, scouting, and on set! Highly recommend. Customer service is also amazing..Version: 5.1
A must have for any DP/Operator/ Directors kitThe two things I never show up to set without is my light meter and a fully charged phone with Artemis Pro. Aside from the obvious production environment, I use Artemis extensively in pre-vis while location scouting and shot listing with my collaborators. The ability to use the virtual stand in feature has proved invaluable while standing in a location and trying to estimate frame sizes without a physical cast or objects. This allows me to return from a scout and share those mock set ups with other departments with all the relevant information like orientation, sunset, sunrise, geographic coordinates, colour palette and lens metadata. In the production environment Artemis Pro is what allows me to collaborate and express my ideas to my keys, operator and director in real time. Long gone are the days of relying on a physical finder mounted with a prime with only the director and DP can only see. There shouldn’t be any hesitation in purchasing this app if you are a working DP, operator or director. This is a must have tool for any kit..Version: 3.3.0
Excellent appFrame lines, virtual stand in, exposure controls and streaming to iPad all welcome features. And Nic is very reachable and invested in the product..Version: 3.0.4
Saving profilesIt would be of great advantage to save several profiles. Having been doing daycalls on several shows. It would be great to save camera and lenses and to Title the saved profile..Version: 2.39
