A lot of people saying it doesn’t appear to work with A7iii unless you tether (Android only). I am an iOS user with no android devices so can’t help with that, sorry! Links to both iOS and Android apps are in the description.
🤯🤯 Also, absolutely insane if you install this on Android! What does an unknown China(?) based developer get in return for a highly technical and cool, yet can't be trusted to be in an Google play store? Hmmm
@@pbm___000 yeah hmmm google playstore is not expensive for developers and they have really low standards to let a app go thorugh. There has to be some flaw here...
@@jannisvd Hi, Do you lose Face focus on A7iii if connected via usb when recording a video? Normally on A7iii when you connect it with and external monitor it loses Face focus ability unless you record externally.
It might be worth doing a quick update on this video. The app has been updated which allows this to be used with a cable on iPhones/iPads using a usb dongle. Almost zero-lag and I believe this also lets it work with older cameras like the A7iii on iPhone. Great videos, thanks!
You’ll need a lightning -> USB dongle and original Sony USB-C -> USB-A cable. Plug the USB-C end of the cable into the camera and the other end into the dongle. The lightning dongle connects to your iPhone. Voila! I suppose the new USB-C iPhones may work directly with a suitable USB-C -> USB-C cable? Unfortunately I don’t have this, so cannot confirm.
FOR EVERYONE WITH A7III: The app only supports this camera via the USB C port. Also you need to set your USB mode in the camera to PC-Controll. Then connect it via USB C to your Phone and start the app and select the found device. Only works for Android! You're welcome :) Edit: I found the App not reliable (used the free version on Pixel 4a and a A7III). Getting a connection is buggy and weird. Changing camera settings via the app is laggy and only works step by step. For example going from ISO 400 to 2000, the app switches through all ISO Levels (just like you would manually) but it takes the app like 5 seconds to process it. Also the App crashes sometimes while doing so. If you want to try what its like having a field monitor then try it. But I would never use that app if I went out for a shoot, because it isn't reliable enough and wastes more time than it adds to your workflow. Get a 150$ field monitor and you are well served. Also the fact that its not in the Appstore is shady af cause we dont know what that apk might do with our phone or phones data. 3/10 would not recommend
Well that changes everything. Guess I’m stuck with the imaging app 🤬
3 ปีที่แล้ว
USB C to iPhone connected and nothing 🤔 Do I need cable from Phone to Multi connector, or the SS USB-C? Update: The app has a tutorial how to connect, how to set up the phone and camera too!
So it's not available in the Android Play store? I like the look of this app, but don't want security risk of installing an app from a third party site.
@@omnirhythm No I'm being sensible. Just because safeguards sometimes fail does not mean I should be completely careless. If Chris Brockhurst resents Google's 15% cut, he could just charge more for sales through the Play store.
@@compspace Same here. I was searching so bad, to find an option to finetune the focus while focusing stars. Here with that slider it would be awesome. But no.. A7III is not supported..
I'm afraid this limitation is in the camera itself, there are other older Sony cameras that have tap to focus available in the imaging edge sony app but not the a7iii.
Very useful! I just bought the full version so I can lock the focus to me when recording solo. There's been a ton of updates since you made the video and it works on cable on iOS as well. Cheers!
It looks like to connect to an A7III you need to use the wired connection. I'm very curious what kind of cable connection it needs, USB C to USB C, or USB C to mini HDMI? I wonder if the phone can be powered from the camera battery as well. **UPDATE** I decided to buy the app, knowing they have a 14 day refund window. I am running a Pixel 2 with a Sony A7III and I was able to get a wired connection working with a USBC to USBC cable. It actually works amazingly well. It drains my phone battery fast, so that's one thing to take into account.
Great video! Just bought it and got it on my iPad with my A7s-III. DAMN!,...this thing is spectacular! Why in the Hell hasn't anybody talked about this? Sony needs to buy this company right now! This app is surprisingly well written!
This is amazing, thank you so much for sharing! Too bad the A7III can barely run while it’s control with smartphone feature is on. It’s so sluggish, it struggles to respond to shutter speed/ISO adjustments or clicking the shutter. But, it is a very important feature for my line of work. Any input on how newer Sony cameras handle once its control smartphone feature is turned on would be great!
@@Leukick that’s a good point, but the lag I’m referring to is the camera body itself. Any input to the dials takes 0.5 seconds for the camera to register, even the shutter button. Sometimes it doesn’t register an exposure change. I understand the lag of the phone though.
I have an iPhone and an a6400. When I connect via Imaging Edge and leave the connection live, the a6400 overheats and shuts down in under an hour. Do you have any problems with this software? I need to record live events which last up to 3 hours. Without connecting the iPhone, the a6400 runs for as long as my external battery lasts - no overheat without Wifi.
Wireless connection: Sony a7R IV, a9II, a7C, a7S III, a1, ZV-1, FX3 and newer models Wired connection: All model listed above plus: Sony a7 III, a7R III, a6100, a6300, a6400, a6500, a6600 More camera brands and models will be supported in the future.
Just bought this based on this review. Works really well with the FX3 so far, this is exactly what a monitor app should be like and great price! Thanks for the review Chris!
hello my friend. I just bought a sony fx3. I was exciting to setup my rig with my phone and this app but, i cant enter in the sony when the app find it. It say " enter", i clic, but nothing happen. Do you know why ? I'll be glad to have some help. Thank you
A73 Not supported - I was exited to try this new app on my iPhone 12 Pro. My dreams for the perfect app abruptly ended after seeing, "A73 is not supported. "
@@MrHardbodiesit works somewhat now, it is very laggy when connected to my a7iii. The a7iii is in a very weird spot at the moment for me, it seems to not be supported by most apps or when it is connected it is very laggy but older models don’t seem to have this problem.
I just tried it on my A7R3, and it doesn't connect as I believe the WiFi ghz has to be change to 5 and not 2.5ghz. It's a shame it won't work. Back to Imaging Mobile or another app if it's made. It's a shame because on their website it does say it'll connect to A7R3.
Hi guys and what about for the others camera like a6400. I'm trying to conect fron USB to USB-C but I don't have any success.. do I need to try with the micro hdmi output from the camera to some USB-c adapter?
Hi Chris, thanks for this video! It's working well for me so far (iPhone 12 Pro Max) but I can't seem to save images onto the phone directly (I do thumbnail shots as well). Am I missing a setting toggle somewhere? Or can I only access the image from the camera?
Last night I ordered an Atmos Ninja 5. This video shows up in my feed this morning. I tested the app and canceled my order for the Ninja. This app had the core features I was after and allows me to control my A7sIII and A7IV remotely with no wires which is a big plus for me. I can't say this app will work for everyone it really depends on what you're doing there is some lag but so far in my testing it's minimal. The lag is more than you will have with a good monitor but for my filming style that isn't going to be a problem. Thank you for saving me $400 dollars. Jason
Thanks, Chris - another extremely useful video, always appreciate your information. I tried the free version on a Google Pixel 4a5g with a Sony FX3 - worked perfectly through WiFi. Bought the license and everything seems to work. A few minor user interface issues but overall this is a superb solution. Thank you!
The timing of this video is perfect! I was just trying to decide which iPhone 13 Pro model to buy tomorrow morning and it was all based on the functionality of Monitor+ on different screen sizes. Thanks for making this! :)
Hi! 1) What sort of distance is the bluetooth phone/monitor device still working well with the a7s iii? 2) Does the camera screen not switch off when paired with another monitor like the a7iii? 3) Can you have more than 1 bluetooth monitor at the same time? Thanks so much.
The one thing I hope they address is the active tracking square (which shows up on the camera screen), does not show up on this app screen. You can activate active tracking from the phone screen but you can’t see if it’s tracking properly. That little floating focus square doesn’t appear…. Unless I’ve missed a setting somewhere. Other than that, I’ve been using this for several months now and it’s spectacular.
Hey Chris! Thanks for the video. I've used this app a few weeks ago. When I first found out about it, I was so excited that I went to sleep 5am. At first, I was amazed by almost no latency However, I've had huge lag and latency ever since. Used with IPhone 12 max. Thanks for the tip for the cable use with Android phones. If there is no latency, goodbye all the fucking monitors with heavy batteries and cables.
@@kornboards Yes, it looks like it's designed for iPad not scaled from iPhone app. I tested it with a client the other day and it's a nice free little setup for when I don't use wireless Vaxis. Client was just keeping an eye for face expression of the talent
Hi Chris, May I request you to make an in depth tutorial video about the Monitor+ Pro version app. I've recently purchased the Pro version for my A7SIII only after seeing your review but trying to figure out some of it's advanced features. There's not much on their official website either. So it would be interesting if you take time to post a detailed video about the app. Thanks in advance. You're doing an amazing job! Keep it up! 👍🏼
Latvijas - I’m so tired of people like you assuming that just because I made a video about something I like that works for me, it means I was paid to do it. Ima click hide user from channel now, See ya ✌🏻
Hello, I don't have a sony camera in hands right now and was wondering : do we have to connect direct to the phone, or can we connect through a network like with the Panasonics ?
Damn they got us good. What a let down, I was unable to get the app to connect between my A7III and Galaxy S20 FE or iPad Pro 2018... Even imaging edge would connect 🤢 finally got my hopes up for a usable app but it just says connection successful and then loses connection every time.
I have my A7R3 and I'm also getting the exact same connection issue with a big failure. Yes, imaging mobile works better, but that tap to auto focus isn't there... Ugh!
Just stumbled onto this app and it currently works, tethered, to my Sony A7R II. Pretty darn cool and will be giving this a shot to save my camera battery by turning off the monitor preview. Thanks!
Which Sony camera's can be connected to this Monitor+ app? Is there a list perhaps? I'm looking for a budget type camera that I can remotely record videos from a smartphone app.
When you use a setting on the phone monitor, do you also see it on the camera screen? E.g. if you click to see the zebras, does that also show up on the camera? Let's say I have the phone as the director, but want to see something without having to interrupt the camera operator.
Nice one, fella. Imaging Edge is an embarrassment. To be frank, these type of apps for all camera manufacturers are shocking. I’m just surprised how little effort they put in to them. This one looks promising, thanks for sharing.
It remained to clarify: a7III does not work and none of the a6xxx line version via wireless connection. Only wired. And the wired connection version has limited functions, and only works with the paid version. Transparency is everything, my dear.
Monitor+ official website FAQ'S: Which cameras are supported? Wireless connection: Sony a7R IV, a9II, a7C, a7S III, a1, ZV-1, FX3 and newer models Wired connection: All model listed above plus: Sony a7 III, a7R III, a6100, a6300, a6400, a6500, a6600 wired connection available on Android version only THX Chris!
Interesting list... My Sony A9 isn't listed 🤔 I saw someone mention they have a 14 day money back guarantee so I might try it anyway. I want to see if it focuses properly with my Xperia 1ii's shutter button.
Great video, When I download the android monitor app its say it can be harmful?? Also when I try for iPhone for my 6 plus it tell me it's for camera I have a nikon camera
If you're a sony a73 user wanting to use the touch AF function, this unfortunately isn't the answer. The AF functions don't seem to be compatible. I found this out the hard way 🤮🤮🤮
Thanks so much, Chris. I own an old A7s, will the software work for me? If so, what kind of cable do I need to connect it to my Samsung Usb-c Android phone?
tried in on a ZV1 connected to a phone wifi and the lag is making it unusable literally just like imagine edge, any solution for that ? it even lags on my wifi connected which is like 800 500 mbps and one meter from a router
Hi, thank you for sharing your experience with this. I've got a Sony A7RIV and have successfully connected to this app wirelessly using my Iphone, unfortunately i lose Sony Eye AF and Face AF when i do so. Any settings that i may be missing?
Hi! I am using a wired connection between my Sony A6600 and the Monitor+ app on iPhone using the included Multiport to USB cable running into the Lightning-to-USB-camera-adapter from Apple. But when wiring like this I notice that SteadyShot is turned off int the camera. Does this happen because I’m using the Multiport and not the HDMI port? Does the same problem occur when using the HDMI port?
hi I’m using Sony a7s III but I can’t focus by tapping on the iPhone screen. Is it because im using free version? Will only pro version let u focus by tapping?
What are the options for saving and accessing still photos taken through the app? I shoot Raw and of course want to access the images for post processing but the don't seem to be captured on the camera SD card .
My Iphone 13 will not scan the tiny tiny QR code on my Sony a 7IV ... just fyi trying manually but it is so difficult there are no videos on youtube on how to do this manually on the newer A7IV
Thank you for your video! Do you know where is the playback button??? I accidentally managed to activate it several times, was able to watch my pictures and video from the phone, but I can't find it anymore, and I don't find it in any tutorial 😅 thanks a lot!
Shopping now and looking hard at the A6400. Seems on the Monitor+ page it says it will work on the A6400 but only in the wired mode. Small price to pay (wired connection) if it will do the trick!

Latvijas - I’m so tired of people like you assuming that just because I made a video about something I like that works for me, it means I was paid to do it. Ima click hide user from channel now, See ya
✌🏻
Can you zoom in & out with the app?
didnt work on my a7iii
They add M3 too ... Just tried it
Hello, I don't have a sony camera in hands right now and was wondering : do we have to connect direct to the phone, or can we connect through a network like with the Panasonics ?
Damn they got us good. What a let down, I was unable to get the app to connect between my A7III and Galaxy S20 FE or iPad Pro 2018... Even imaging edge would connect 🤢 finally got my hopes up for a usable app but it just says connection successful and then loses connection every time.
I got the same issue but I have the sony a6400 and the galaxy s20 fe.
@@SamHernandez27j Their site says a6400 works wired, not WIFI.
I have my A7R3 and I'm also getting the exact same connection issue with a big failure. Yes, imaging mobile works better, but that tap to auto focus isn't there... Ugh!
Just stumbled onto this app and it currently works, tethered, to my Sony A7R II. Pretty darn cool and will be giving this a shot to save my camera battery by turning off the monitor preview. Thanks!
This app is amazing! I tried it in wired mode and it's running at 60fps with *no Latency at all*
How did you use a wire ?
@@DannyNagymusic USB c to micro USB cable. It was on a galaxy. With USB c iPhones it may work as well. I'll have to test it
can I connect my a6600 ans ios monitor+ with drone cable ?
DUDE!!!! I did not know about this!!!!
You’re welcome 🙃
Yeah Sid, such a great and handy solution. Looking forward to try it!
Which Sony camera's can be connected to this Monitor+ app? Is there a list perhaps?
I'm looking for a budget type camera that I can remotely record videos from a smartphone app.
Wow, the tap to focus and focus pulling is something no monitor has. and luts + anamorphic are things most basic monitors don’t have either
When you use a setting on the phone monitor, do you also see it on the camera screen? E.g. if you click to see the zebras, does that also show up on the camera? Let's say I have the phone as the director, but want to see something without having to interrupt the camera operator.
Nice one, fella. Imaging Edge is an embarrassment.
To be frank, these type of apps for all camera manufacturers are shocking. I’m just surprised how little effort they put in to them.
This one looks promising, thanks for sharing.
I have the ZV-E10 and it's laggy, any solution?
Or is there any other app? I also have an HDMI adapter and cable
I have an iPhone 14
It remained to clarify: a7III does not work and none of the a6xxx line version via wireless connection. Only wired. And the wired connection version has limited functions, and only works with the paid version. Transparency is everything, my dear.
It's because a6xxx use 2.4GHz and the app works on 5GHz connection.
I'm using A6400, and the app can't find my camera. So you're saying I need to connect a cable from my iPhone to the camera?
No Android store... possible security risk installing?
Monitor+ official website FAQ'S:
Which cameras are supported?
Wireless connection: Sony a7R IV, a9II, a7C, a7S III, a1, ZV-1, FX3 and newer models
Wired connection: All model listed above plus: Sony a7 III, a7R III, a6100, a6300, a6400, a6500, a6600
wired connection available on Android version only
THX Chris!
Interesting list... My Sony A9 isn't listed 🤔
I saw someone mention they have a 14 day money back guarantee so I might try it anyway. I want to see if it focuses properly with my Xperia 1ii's shutter button.
This carries very use features, but why this are not available on play store or appstore?
I JUST LOVE THIS. Thank you very much Chris.
Welcome
Great video, When I download the android monitor app its say it can be harmful?? Also when I try for iPhone for my 6 plus it tell me it's for camera I have a nikon camera
If you're a sony a73 user wanting to use the touch AF function, this unfortunately isn't the answer. The AF functions don't seem to be compatible. I found this out the hard way 🤮🤮🤮
How didyou open the a7iii?
I was able to move the focus point around.
@@pinoybtcanalysis6576 It looks like you have to connect by USBC cable on the A7iii
Is it POSSIBLE to connect my Sony alpha to my phone to use this app and - at the same time - connect a power bank to the phone?
Can you use the app to transfer ( wireless tether images or video back to the iPhone), does it work with iPad?
Thanks so much, Chris. I own an old A7s, will the software work for me? If so, what kind of cable do I need to connect it to my Samsung Usb-c Android phone?
Hi there . Great video tutorial. I just wanted to ask you if you have any idea how to use this app with a Sony a6600 cause it says “not compatible “ 🤔
I cannot connect the my 2020 iPhone SE to the A7SIII. Followed all their directions. Wondering what went wrong.
hi Chris, Can you please help me to connect my Sony a7iv with monitorplus. the menu is looking different. thanks
tried in on a ZV1 connected to a phone wifi and the lag is making it unusable literally just like imagine edge, any solution for that ? it even lags on my wifi connected which is like 800 500 mbps and one meter from a router
Now I need to find a holder for my iPhone that I can attach to my camera cage... any suggestions?
Mine says is not supported ? Please help ☹️ is a Sony 6400
how exactly do you quit the app? I’m using it on an iPhone XS
CRHIS HOW DO I MAKE TAP TO FOCUS WORK ON MY Iphone!! i have 11 pro max everything works fine except to focus with my phone
ive got the a7s3
The only reason I use Imaging Edge Mobile is for the GPS tag. Does this cover that as well?
Not working for A7iii.Let me know if you have any solution. Thanks
This is very cool. I have Sony A7R3 And Sony FX6. Do you think it will work on both of these cameras?
is it works with sony 6600 as well? with all features (included autofocus in pro) with wireless or bluetooth? thanks
Can you help me I have been not able to connect my Sony a6400 to the app using an iPhone thanks
Can you bracketing with this app? O darn I have A7R2, any recommendations?
Hi, thank you for sharing your experience with this. I've got a Sony A7RIV and have successfully connected to this app wirelessly using my Iphone, unfortunately i lose Sony Eye AF and Face AF when i do so. Any settings that i may be missing?
Hi!
I am using a wired connection between my Sony A6600 and the Monitor+ app on iPhone using the included Multiport to USB cable running into the Lightning-to-USB-camera-adapter from Apple. But when wiring like this I notice that SteadyShot is turned off int the camera. Does this happen because I’m using the Multiport and not the HDMI port? Does the same problem occur when using the HDMI port?
hi I’m using Sony a7s III but I can’t focus by tapping on the iPhone screen.
Is it because im using free version? Will only pro version let u focus by tapping?
What are the options for saving and accessing still photos taken through the app? I shoot Raw and of course want to access the images for post processing but the don't seem to be captured on the camera SD card .
Do they have a list of compatible cameras?
My Iphone 13 will not scan the tiny tiny QR code on my Sony a 7IV ... just fyi trying manually but it is so difficult there are no videos on youtube on how to do this manually on the newer A7IV
I've been waiting for an app like this for a long time! Thanks for sharing Chris
It works on the a7iv?
Seems good. Does it support photography too or is it just video.
good question
Thank you for your video!
Do you know where is the playback button??? I accidentally managed to activate it several times, was able to watch my pictures and video from the phone, but I can't find it anymore, and I don't find it in any tutorial 😅 thanks a lot!
Shopping now and looking hard at the A6400. Seems on the Monitor+ page it says it will work on the A6400 but only in the wired mode. Small price to pay (wired connection) if it will do the trick!
Super cool, sadly It's not available for the A7iii
Will this work on a Canon camera?? do you know of any alternative for canon camera??
I enjoyed this - may I ask where I can get this for my Samsung Galaxy S21 + to link to my Sonya7Riv ?
wow finaly!!! i have to check this
i dont know why there is no tap focus any still image sony camera. only movie mode
Does this remote support playback? I'm using a zve10 and always have to get up and walk over to the camera for playback. Thx
