BT Cam: Bluetooth camera control in one app.

BT Cam turns your phone into a Bluetooth remote for Canon, Nikon, Sony, Fujifilm, Blackmagic, and more — with multi-camera control, timers, and timecode.

Use your phone as a camera remote. BT Cam connects to compatible cameras over Bluetooth, with controls for stills, video, and multi-camera setups.

Control one camera or several

BT Cam supports more than 250 camera models across Canon, Nikon, Sony, Fujifilm, Olympus and OM System, Blackmagic Design, GoPro, Panasonic Lumix, and Pentax and Ricoh. It reconnects to previously paired cameras and can control several at once for multi-angle shots.

Available controls depend on the camera and lens. They include:

  • Shutter release, focus-triggered capture, and video start/stop, with automatic recording restart on supported cameras.
  • Exposure, interval, and shot-count timers, plus shutter lock for burst, bulb, and interval work.
  • Autofocus, manual focus, supported lens zoom controls, and geotagging.

Check the supported-camera list for the features available on your equipment.

Connect over Bluetooth

BT Cam uses Bluetooth for camera control, so you do not need to join a camera’s Wi-Fi network. Our Universal BLE library handles device discovery and connections across platforms.

Cameras without built-in Bluetooth can connect through compatible external triggers from NiSi, MIOPS, and Triggertrap. Support depends on the camera and trigger combination.

Recording and timecode

Control recording across compatible cameras, work with timecode integrations for Tentacle Sync and Blackmagic ATEM, or start and stop recording from a supported Tilta Nucleus follow-focus wheel. These controls are useful when a camera is mounted out of reach.

Timecode, synchronization, and expanded frame-rate options are part of BT Cam Pro. The available functions depend on the connected equipment.

Available across platforms

BT Cam runs on iOS, Android, Windows, macOS, and Linux, and as a progressive web app. A purchase grants access across platforms. Use the free trial to check compatibility with your camera and device before buying.
