The Mavis Camera 7 transforms iPhones into robust filmmaking tools with professional-grade features including multi-track audio recording, timecode sync, and camera-to-cloud integration that were previously unavailable on mobile devices.
Mobile Monitor Tech: Mavis brings cinema camera tools to your pocket with surprising depth
The app includes comprehensive monitoring tools typically found only on professional cinema cameras. Users gain access to focus peaking, multiple false color options, vectorscope, and waveform monitors—all running on a device that fits in your pocket.
Record in 4K ProRes with Apple Log for maximum post-production flexibility
Adjust shutter speed in angles or traditional speeds for precise exposure control
Use UltraSync BLUE integration to incorporate the iPhone into larger multi-camera productions
Switch between portrait and landscape orientations for different delivery requirements
Audio Engineering Unleashed: Eight discrete channels give mobile creators unprecedented sound control
Mavis offers an unusually powerful audio toolkit that elevates iPhone recording beyond typical mobile limitations. The app supports up to eight discrete audio channels when paired with compatible USB-C audio interfaces.
Record all 8 channels as isolated tracks (ISOs) while simultaneously creating a stereo mix
Make real-time adjustments with gain and pan controls for each channel
Connect professional audio equipment like Focusrite Scarlett interfaces directly to the iPhone
Apply manual audio control during live streaming for better quality than typical mobile broadcasts
Connected Production Pipeline: Cloud integration creates new mobile workflow possibilities
The built-in connectivity options transform how content moves from capture to distribution, enabling workflows previously impossible on mobile devices.
Stream directly to YouTube or custom RTMP/SRT destinations without additional hardware
Progressively upload to Frame IO while recording for nearly instantaneous availability
Connect to broadcast systems like Sony Ci and Grass Valley Framelight X through Mavis C2C
Operate in different delivery formats (portrait or landscape) depending on distribution needs
From Shoot to Stream: Mobile content creation ecosystem expands professional possibilities
Mavis sits at an interesting intersection between consumer devices and professional workflows. The pricing structure reflects this positioning—free download with basic functionality, $15 one-time purchase for advanced features like multi-track audio and Frame IO integration, and a subscription option ($15/week or $30/month) for Mavis C2C cloud integration with broadcast platforms.
While smartphone cameras have been capable of capturing impressive images for years, Mavis addresses the workflow and technical control limitations that have kept mobile devices from being fully integrated into professional production environments. For red carpet events, YouTube creators, and filmmakers working with limited gear, this app provides capabilities that meaningfully bridge the gap between consumer devices and professional toolsets.
