FinderKit: Viewfinder For filmmaking and photography

The FinderKit is a fast, intuitive viewfinder app from the developer of CameraKit and LensKit. It’s great for scouting a location, testing a new angle on set, or making a quick photo-based storyboard. FinderKit will help you work faster and keep you and your crew in sync. FinderKit also has a dedicated mode for photographers, with common photo sensor sizes and a simplified lens interface.

The app is simple to use, and the interface is clean with nice bold text. Simply choose your camera and lens package, and you’ll get an accurate preview of what your camera will see. Scroll the lens list to change focal lengths—no need to manually tap through each lens to get to the one you want. Save photos and videos to the in-app gallery, where you can organize by project and scene, add notes, or share as individual files or as a PDF shotlist.

CAMERAS AND LENSES

Includes over 200 cameras from brands like Arri, Canon, Red, Sony, Blackmagic, Panasonic, and more, as well as over 2000 lenses from Angenieux, Arri, Cooke, Canon, DZO, Hawk, Leica, Zeiss, and others. You can even group together individual lenses to make a custom kit for each project.

ACCESSORIES AND OVERLAYS

Speed boosters, extenders, aspect ratios, custom crops, thirds, grids, title safe, crosshair—FinderKit has it all.

PROJECTS

Projects let you organize your work. New photos and videos are saved to the project currently selected, along with your most recent camera and lens selections. When you return to that project later, your media and camera/lens settings are automatically loaded.

GALLERY

With an easy to use design, the gallery makes it simple to view, organize, and share media. When viewing media, just swipe up to see metadata and add titles/notes. Swipe back down to return to the gallery. Media is automatically grouped by project, and you can further organize by scene if you choose.

PDF EXPORT

Besides standard exporting, FinderKit can create PDF shotlists with customizable options including image size, metadata details, and page orientation.

• Fullscreen mode lets you cut out the distractions, hiding all the controls except the lens picker and shutter buttons.

• Looks let you dial in exposure, contrast, temperature, saturation and more.

• Multicam buttons store preset camera and lens combinations for easy access when you’re working with multiple cameras.

• A coverage warning lets you know that the lens you selected may not cover the current camera sensor (with a shortcut to LensKit to see the full coverage chart).
