Summary
- Moment introduced Action Plates for Pro Camera II.
- Users can switch between different control layouts.
- Each layout is designed for a different shooting style.
- The feature is available through the latest app update.
Moment has introduced a new customizable control system for its Pro Camera II camera app.
The company unveiled Action Plates, a new feature for the iPhone app that lets users switch between different camera control layouts. Moment compares the experience to choosing a different video game controller, with each layout providing a unique way to access essential camera controls and shooting tools.
The update is important because photographers and filmmakers often prefer different interface arrangements depending on how they work. Instead of using a single fixed layout, users can now choose the one that best suits their workflow.
What are Action Plates?
Action Plates are interchangeable control layouts placed at the bottom of the camera interface. They provide quick access to the shutter button, exposure settings, and other essential controls while reducing unnecessary taps during shooting.
Available layouts
The first release includes several options:
- MPC-II with adaptive controls and two customizable slots.
- MPC-I inspired by the original Moment camera interface.
- ARC designed to maximize the visible viewfinder.
- TECHNO focused on speed and quick access.
- SWATCH, available exclusively to early pre-order customers, featuring customizable colors and four assignable slots.
Built for customization
Moment designed the system so photographers can tailor the interface to their preferences. Some Action Plates include visual customization, while others adapt their controls depending on how users configure them.
Availability
Action Plates are available now through the latest Moment Pro Camera II update.
What we think
Giving photographers the ability to customize the shooting interface is a welcome addition. If it proves effective in everyday use, it could significantly improve speed and usability.
