SlingStudio Capture for Negative User Reviews

✓ Was good for a short timeOur church got about one good year of use from the unit. After that it was nothing more than a terrible WiFi router with no range. Signal was so weak you couldn’t connect a phone in the same room. The very unreliable software that was meant to act as a video switcher but connectivity issues out the wazoo and broken contacts on the audio input made this thing a real headache. About 6 months ago I talked the team into switcher studio. It does everything Sling did and better..Alan's WHYphoneVersion: 1.2.27

✓ Useful but limitedI am repeating what has been mentioned before, but it would be nice to utilize the full functionality of the iPhone (manual exposure and focus, choice of iPhone 11 lens, etc). Or at least enable the ability for other video apps (i.e. Filmic Pro) to communicate and send video to the Sling Studio hub. This is probably out of the scope for an app...but maybe functionality like Audiobus, but for video. As it is, using an iPhone is not a viable alternative to using a cameralink (with a camera)..UnishinobiVersion: 1.2.27

✓ Convenient, but needs work.The capture app comes in handy for turning your iPhone into a wireless camera source for SlingStudio. Like other reviewers have stated, this app needs more features added to be able to control exposure, focus and zoom on-the-fly. Also, you need to add support for 4K to be recorded in the Capture app to the smart phone. I understand the main recording on the SlingStudio hub is set to a max of 1080p, but individual iPhones that have 4K capability should be able to record in 4K within the app, to be used for replacing the clips in post. Another feature request is to add support for a DJI Osmo Mobile to be used as a remote pan/tilt head for the iPhone using Capture. SwitcherStudio has all three of the features I mentioned. If SlingStudio adds these things, it will sell like hotcakes!.VAFilmmakerVersion: 1.2.27

✓ Stop!Stop filling the screen with your nag to review his product.It’s a camera, it shouldn’t have a screen pop up asking for your review when you’re trying to shoot..ImagefactVersion: 1.2.27

✓ Camlinks for capture charging issue. Needs Software fix immediatelyIssues with Camera Link (leas than a year old) not charging because the battery discharged too low for the charging circuitry to safely restart charging. I am told by the SS FB Group pros thAt I have to replace the whole unit since apparently battery replacement is impossible once it drops below charging status. That your software that prevents it from charging at that point. Would you be willing to replace my camlink? Or update the software so CamLinks can charge even when they get low like mine?.Debs316Version: 1.2.27

✓ Capture app shutdown issue on iPhone XWe recently purchased a Sling Studio and started with it this weekend. I downloaded the app to my iPhone X. I like it mostly except for closing the app as in there is no home button to double tap. There needs to be a way to close it..NotheroldtechVersion: 1.1.71

✓ Would love advanced features!The app works great but I would love to have some advanced features like the ability to change the white balance..J&S GamesVersion: 1.2.27

✓ Updates PleaseThis app works for the basics but has a bug with adjusting brightness in latest iOS version. You make the adjustment and then it reverts back to default automatically within 5 minutes. The app should also take advantage of the latest features of the iOS camera app with iPhone 11 Pro. Would allow for a great multi camera setup, and for better white balance live, instead of having to do it in post production. Why has development stopped on this? I would be willing to even pay for the app to keep it updated, as it easily integrates..D. timothyVersion: 1.2.27

✓ Can’t use iPhone 11 Pro’s wide or zoom lensesCons: It can’t use anything but the 1x lens on iPhone 11 Pro, which is a HUGE bummer. PLEASE add support for that. More control over the image such as shutter speed and advanced features like that would also be a plus. Pros: Super easy to use. Two steps and it’s available as a video source on the console..This Whole cityVersion: 1.2.27

✓ LET ME SELECT A CAMERAThe app works fine but I want to be able to select my ultra wide or telephoto camera... it’s been a year since the last update..Noah JFVersion: 1.2.27

✓ Almost better than SwitcherStudioThis is a great add on for SlingStudio. While SwitcherStudio gives the ability to control the zoom feature of the connected iPads remotely the SlingStudio doesn’t which makes it almost better. It would be nice if the icon for the Capture App showed up when you install it on the iPad the same way it does on the android instead of the all white icon with the lines through it Lille it’s missing a file..AVinVAVersion: 1.2.27

✓ AnnoyingStop asking me if I like this app while I’m using it. It’s very annoying. You deserve a 1 Star for the inconvenience..Smelymonkey23Version: 1.2.27

✓ Please add multi-lens functionality for newer model iPhones, please!This is a decent app for what it does, but it does need an update, and it needs one really badly. For example, I often have to pinch to zoom in way too far, getting far more pixelization than I’m comfortable with, when the problem could to be solved simply by switching to the 2x telephoto lens of my iPhone 11 Pro. Please, update this app..ΛDΛMVersion: 1.2.27

✓ Only Wide lens available on iPhone 11 ProDisappointing that I can only use my single optical zoom and have to give up quality for your lethargy. Add full iPhone 11 Pro/pro Max lens compatibility. Reduced to one star once I realized the last update was 2 YEARS AGO..UhhhhwillVersion: 1.2.27

✓ Don’t like the delay, since is not a cheap device. They should fix thatLike the delay since is not a cheap device.Vteck805Version: 1.2.27

✓ Slingstudio captureI like the product but I would like even better if the app was updated. I am iOS 15.1.1 and tends to shut down occasionally.FreememoryfanVersion: 1.2.27

✓ Issues with streamingEvery time I have used the capture app on my iPhone 7, the video streamed to the sling studio will seem to repeatedly pause momentarily and then quickly catch back up. Its as if someone paused a cable DVR and then hit fast forward to get back to live TV. It has done this with 4 separate iPhones, and I can’t seem to find info about this issue online. My Hub is about 40 feet from the phone, and has clear line of sight in a big square shaped room. The Sling studio is an amazing device, but I have not been able to use it for anything official because of this one issue. I’m hoping we can find a simple solution because I do love the system..Quiksilver6565Version: 1.2.27

✓ Capture App Needs More FeaturesWe’ve had our Sling Studio for a week now and it’s mostly great. However for the price this Capture app really needs to be improved. It would be perfect if it had the functionality found in the FiLMiC Pro app. But at the very least it needs to offer better control of exposure and focus similar to how FiLMiC Pro provides reticles to choose independently choose focus and exposure areas and then lock in each setting by just tapping the respective reticle. The Capture app allowed some exposure setting that looks like it might be allowing us to lock the exposure but shortly after that it switched itself back to auto exposure. These limitations make it very difficult to set matching images on multiple cameras. In fact often the forced auto exposure was significantly overexposed. It would also be great if the app allowed us to choose some basic options like frame rate. So this app is marginally adequate. They need make it much better. Unfortunately, as it is right now, it just doesn’t allow us to make the best use of the camera’s built in functionality. Hopefully future updates of this app will fix these significant shortcomings..JillMSchmidtVersion: 1.1.71
