There are various approaches to achieve this:
Through a 1G ethernet cable connecting the camera to a PC laptop running VRI’s Phantom Camera Control (PCC) software.
Using the onboard camera controls which provide quick access to adjust key settings such as Resolution, ISO, White Balance, Frame Rates, and navigation to sub-menus.
Utilizing wireless controls via Bluetooth or WiFi (Our Preferred method!)
Through the integration of 3rd party Bluetooth wireless controllers like SEMOTE or a basic WiFi router linked to the camera via a Fischer ethernet cable and employing the iOS app, IPHANTOM. This setup enables remote camera operation, granting the Director of Photography and camera crew ﬂexibility to work and maneuver the camera without being restricted to a laptop.
Such functionality deﬁnes the unique capabilities of the Phantom Flex 4k compared to other phantom cameras.
While on set, our Phantom technicians will handle the camera setup and operations, allowing the DOP (Director of Photography) to concentrate on the creative process. Despite the user-friendly interface of the camera, the presence of a knowledgeable individual like a Phantom tech on set ensures smooth operations, freeing up creative bandwidth and eliminating concerns about camera conﬁgurations.
