Thank you for this great Protake video! Do you know if the monitor and camera can transmit without access to the internet? I'm hoping I can use this setup in the forest on a portable wireless LAN without the need to access the internet where there is no signal? Very grateful for your advise.👏🙏
I don't know, I don't trust any other application except mcpro24fps and Motioncam, but if this application connects 4 phones in the multicamera and the fifth to record, I would support the developer!
I feel ya man. Admittedly, Protake doesn't have the same superior video quality and flexibility that both mcpro24fps and Motion Cam has, but damn its so simple and joyful to use. And that wireless multicam feature is just a killer!
I would like to do a 4 camera podcast while driving rideshare and interviewing passengers. Can I do this and control the switcher features of Protake on a android tablet?
Yes you can definitely record a 4 camera podcast while driving but it wont be live switching. You will just have 4 separate recordings and will have to sync up and do the camera angle switching in your editing software afterwards.
You can only adjust zoom, focus and press record on the monitor device (and view analytics and switch or split multiple cameras). The subscription includes upto 3 devices, so you wont need to get a separate subscription for your monitor (you just need to sign in with the same Protake+ account)
Is it possible to watch the just recorded (playback) video on the iPad (monitor) without touching the iPhone (camera), which is positioned in distance?
@@RJBaculo I already thought it, because of the playback button in 6:57. For me this is a giant-feature. I was looking for that and I found no other app with this feature. Thank you for trying!
thanks, great video, i bought the app and I have a problem tho. when i use an iPhone as a camera and and android device as a monitor, i get "no signal" on the android. does that setup work for you?
It still works for me (Samsung S10 and iPhone 14 Pro). Just make sure both devices are on the same wifi network. Some wifi networks have 2 separate bands, one for iphones (2.4g) and one for everything else (5g).
Hi. Thanks for a nice review. There is one thing I would like you to show how it's done. Wireless monitor and record...did you manage to make it work? I tried it even with the paid version, but no luck. I tried to download the app on another mobile with the same account, with the one I bought the app, and it doesn't let me download it. Does it work with native camera or what? Both mobiles are android S23Ultra and Poco...thank you in advance
Actually, I found the solution. To be completely honest, that was the fastest support feedback ever. To set multiple monitor or camera you have to double check if you have signed in with the same phone number. I thought that just by downloading from the same account would be enough but not. Also, for my S23Ultra I get a lot of crushing message when trying to record with 120 or 240 FPS in 1080 mode although I don't get that message on some other phone whose native camera doesn't even have that possibility...interesting...the support comment was When the warning dialog shows up, it means that the configration is not supported in your phone or the your device doesn't open the API to third party apps. Hope this all helps.
Hello, I have 4 cameras in Sony A7III and A7CII models. And I want to start and stop recording video for all of these cameras at the same time. Does anyone know a solution for this? Please help...
I’m tried Protake and it was incredibly unstable. Connection was randomly shutting down. 1st I thought that it will not impact the recording on both camera iPhones but when I reviewed the results the audio was recording fine but the movie was glitching or completely frozen. I was disappointed:( used iPhone 13 Pro and IPhone 15 Pro as remote cameras and iPad as monitor device.
That's sad to hear. I'm guessing its an iOS update thing. Has always worked great on my Samsung S10 + iPad Air 2 combo and also the few times I used it on my iPhone 14 Pro.
You'd probably need to have a Samsung device (phone or tablet) plugged into your laptop and using the Dex function to open and use Protake app for multicam monitoring.
after watching your video I bought this app and the multi-cam feature is not working? I think the app is not ready for that. do you still use this app? can you make a video for how to record video with 3 phones? thankyou.
Yes it still works for me. I always use it when I film myself with my iPhone or do top down tabletop videos and use another iPad to monitor and remote control. What's ur phone model(s)?
@@RJBaculo i use an iPad Pro as a monitor and as a cam, I use 2 phones iPhone X and iPhone 12. I can use only one phone at one time, if I turn off one then I can connect to another one. in the app, I saw the say they can connect 4 phones. but I saw option one can connect 2 phones. if you get time can you please make a tutorial, I think many people have the same problem. and thank you for your reply. I appreciate that.
IN NEED OF HELP: I bought the app after watching, was really excited to spend less time producing content but I cannot get it to work. No devices are able to be set up. Does the Protake app need to be on each device?😢
00:48 yes! Very overwhelming before to do such multi-cam prods
Haha yes! Used to do a lot of congresses, seminars, and church events back in the days doing those kind of setups.

@@RJBaculoit’s unstable for me and videos are corrupted with frozen frames :(
I actually think protake quality is higher than Mcpro today
Is there a way to monitor the audio through the remote Ipad/table from the main cam...
What the hell, my monitor ipad doesnt show focus peaking! But yours does! How do i turn it on??

@@RJBaculo I was hoping to save me time by live switching. I think that I can do this with the Mevo app.
Thanks for the reply
@drfrankm all good. Good luck with the podcast shooting!
@@RJBaculo thanks
I think the detail app is better
Are you able to adjust the camera settings from the monitor? And do you need subscription for both the camera and monitor? Thank you

Yes you can. I just tried it just to make sure and indeed it does work BUT it will playback on both devices, not just the monitor.

Wow😮 it this real how does it work? You connect it android to android same device to
Yes. It even works android to iOS and vice versa!
thanks, great video, i bought the app and I have a problem tho.

Is there an option to use one of the cameras in multi cam mode and still monitor?
You mean both act as a xamera and multi-cam monitor? No, unfortunately. It's one or the other.

What happened to the PROTAKE app? It's not available on the Apple App store.
That's odd. I just checked, it's still there named "Protake - Mobile Cinema Camera"
@@RJBaculo I am currently living in Washington State. Maybe the App store in the US has canceled PROTAKE in the US and not other locations.

how to use laptop as the multicam monitoring for the protake camera app?
You'd probably need to have a Samsung device (phone or tablet) plugged into your laptop and using the Dex function to open and use Protake app for multicam monitoring.
Do you know how many device we can use on one license?
Up to 3 devices! And can be cross-platform also (Android, iOS)
Can you link a gopro
Unfortunately, I dont think you can, at least not with this app.

Yes, Protake app needs to be on each device and 1 subscription covers you up to 3 devices.
@@RJBaculo After I posted my previous comment I figured it out ...lol..thanks for your tip on this app..much easier!
Is this a separate paid function? When I look at the options, it says I have to pay for the time I use, even though I paid for the camera app itself.
If you paid the annual subscription, this feature comes with it.
Cheers!
Cheers!
I use Mc24pro. Is there a remote app for it ?
Unfortunately no there isn't. If you contact the developers, they may be able to work on such a feature.
