Remote control for your camera

Remora turns your iPhone, iPad or Mac into a full remote for your camera — over Wi-Fi, USB or Bluetooth. The camera's live screen, shooting series, every setting, presets, the card's photos and geotags, in one app.

Compatibility

Works with the camera you have

Remora works with Sony cameras that support remote control over PTP, in both protocol generations — the current one on 2020+ bodies and the earlier one on older models — and reads the features from the camera itself. Tested daily with an α7C II; the other bodies below are documented by the protocol reference. Your camera behaves differently? Write to me.

Requirements: iOS 15 or later, macOS 12 or later; on the camera, enable remote control over Wi-Fi ("Connect with smartphone" / "Remote Shooting"), connect a USB cable to your Mac, or pair the Bluetooth remote on iPhone. No camera nearby? Try the demo camera from the welcome tour.

Support

How do I connect?

On the camera turn on remote control over Wi-Fi, join the camera's network (or the same network as the camera), open Remora and tap Connect. On a Mac a USB cable works too.

Which cameras are supported?

See Compatibility above. Features are read from the camera, so older bodies get what they support.

Why does the app ask for location?

Only for geotagging, which you turn on yourself. The location stays on your devices and your camera.

Can I try it without a camera?

Yes — the welcome tour on first launch offers Try the demo camera (also Settings → Demo camera): a simulated camera inside the app.
