This almost makes me want to buy an iphone...

iphone app that let's you frame shots in different aspect ratios, and records gps and compass heading, plus shows you sunrise and sunset times for that location! That's wicked cool.

I think I'm still going to wait for the large-sensor-interchangeable-lens-4k-RAW iphone to come out though. That way, I can just shoot the movie without all that other pesky gear.

Yeah, PanaScout rocks.

I do not really see what this apps does , except framing the picture and give some geographic info.
there are already tons of apps for iphone/ipod for video.
some allows to to point the iphone to the sky and see the sun path.

I like this app, I hope they add more features in the future, like zoom emulation for example.

hahah but the framing box gives the photos a nice look, I took this photo 4 hours ago.

(Keep in mind that this is half the size of what you get from the app (DVXuser shrinks it).

And you can do nice basic storyboards....

BTW can you guys recommend good apps for filmmakers?
