Hey guys,
I'm working on some studio filming and needed a remote camera setup for my iPhone and iPad (iPhone as camera, iPad as viewfinder and controller).
The Blackmagic Cam seems to have a very thorough implementation of this approach, and I'm setting it up now. Unfortunately though, if I pause for a moment or two, the connection is lost - presumably because the iPhone self-locks.
Is there any way to set this up so the iPhone doesn't self-lock when I'm using it as the Blackmagic camera? (Aside from manually changing the global auto-lock setting on the iPhone every time I'm filming?)
Would love any suggestions anyone might have on this!
Thanks guys,
Mike
