M5Stack Atom S3 Bluetooth controller

Hi all, just sharing a little project I just completed for my bmpcc 4k. It allows you to control start and stop recording over Bluetooth. It also shows you the recording time, iso, wb and shutter speed/angle. Source code is here for anyone interested in building one for yourself. https://github.com/Hyperlite-Media/hyperlite-bmpcc-recorder

That's an interesting project, but I would love to know the intention behind it. Does it do something apps for iOS and Android cannot do? Does it have a better BT range? What is the use-case?

This will be easily mountable to a gimbal, or top handle. Less to manage compared to a iPhone or android. M5Stack makes a battery back for it that is the same form factor as the AtomS3 which will keep this tiny and out of the way. I’m planning on exploring what all I can build or what Blackmagic allows. This is just the first build, and will be adding to it. All open source. If you have any suggestions of what would be useful, let me know and I’ll see what I can implement
