Our Review:

FiLMiC Pro needs 7.1 MB of free space on your iPhone, iPod touch and iPad device. In the above features the best one to me is the lock frame rates that give you a lot controls on your video. You can set frames rates between 1-25 frames per second and 30. So that you are allowed to choose optimal settings for your video based on your shooting object.

FiLMiC Pro have 3 shooting modes to capture your videos. By using this modes you can control the exposure and focus in different ways. The app has Full Frame, Single Reticle, and Double Reticle options. The first one Full Frame Mode is the normal mode. With this mode you can focus and set exposure on the entire frame. The Single Reticle Mode helps you focus through a reticle that is fixed in the center of the frame. Finally the Double Reticle Mode will keep control over the composition of any snap. There are two separate reticles that helps you to move around the frame to set focus and exposure separately.

You can set frames rates using this app. The range is between 1-25 frames per second and 30. This feature allows you to choose optimal settings for your video based on your shooting object.

There is also a sharing feature. You can share your video by uploading it to YouTube, Vimeo, DropBox, Tumblr, Facebook, and FTP servers.
