Magic Pocket ViewFinder Free for Android
SUPPORT FOR THIS APP IS DISCONTINUED. PLEASE USE MAGIC CINEMA VIEWFINDER FREE APP INSTEAD.
PLEASE READ: this app does not turn your smartphone into an external monitor.
The customized camera window will help you to see the exact framing of your future shot. Just select the focal length of the lens and choose if you will be using the Focal Reducer / Booster. Note that only x0.72 booster is supported.
This app will help you to estimate your future shots even without the camera proper, only having your smartphone / tablet in your hand.
If you want, you may save the picture you see in your camera for future reference. Note that the number of captured frames is limited in this free app.
There is a constant middle-speed auto focus engaged to keep your images focused.
The app has ads in it.
To get rid of ads, increase the scope of supported cameras to Black Magic, ARRI, Red cameras, as well to Canon, Sony, Lumix, Nikon and 4/3 formats, to use all available boosters / converters, frame guides and anamorphic indexes, and to capture frames without limit please purchase to advanced Magic Universal ViewFinder app.
Please keep in mind that this app will perform best on the devices oriented for HD or Full HD display. On older and smaller devices this program may perform awkwardly.

Crashes on opening instantly, Such a shame was looking forward to testing it out, good job I didn't pay £2 paid version for a logo in my app draw .
Excellent!
The developer is on top of things. He fixed the FOV discrepancy between the viewfinder and capture in last update, thanks!! That was fast and there is already another update out. Although I haven't had a chance to physically compare how accurate the FOV matches the BMPCC yet, it seems like it should be right. The captures don't show up in Gallery, (looks like an Android issue) but that's not a big deal.
Great app. I have used it on acouple of shoots. It has proven its worth many times over.
So much needed!
