Camera Body Guide
The Omniscient Mounted workflow is designed to be flexible and work with a wide range of cameras. However, some cameras are easier to work with than others. The characteristics below help you compare models and choose a camera for your setup.
Mounting the iPhone is straightforward: use the attachment already available on your camera or rig.
- Accessory shoe (hot or cold): attach a phone holder using a cold-shoe mount. No electronic connection through the shoe is needed.
- Accessory screw thread: attach a compatible phone mount directly to the body or an existing rig plate. A separate camera cage is not needed.
- Neither available: add a camera cage to provide an accessory shoe or screw threads.
The iPhone must stay firmly attached, without shifting or rotating relative to the camera. See the Rigid Mount Guide for mounting options.

✓No in-body stabilizationThis body has no sensor-shift stabilization. Disable any lens or external/post stabilization and use the same recording format and image area for calibration and capture.
!Audio input requires 6-pin LEMO line interfaceUse the Mini LF 6-pin balanced stereo line input with an appropriate line-level interface and correctly wired cable. It differs from the original Mini’s 5-pin audio input. The 6-pin connector also supplies 12 V; do not substitute pinouts. Audio is recorded only when sensor and project frame rates match. Built-in scratch microphones are a separate input path.
✓Mount via accessory threadsUse a rigid phone mount on the Mini LF accessory interfaces or a compatible top/side bracket. Check Mini LF bracket compatibility: its wider media bay requires MSB-3 rather than the original Mini’s left-side MSB-1/MSB-2. Keep the mount clear of the media bay and cooling paths.

The band describes full-width capture. rolling shutter (Low recommendedOmniscient supports rolling shutter. Lower rolling shutter reduces tracking complexity and can improve the chances of a better result.)
?Potentially compatible with ultrasonic sync (optional)No test has validated ultrasonic compatibility on this specific model yet. This is an optional Mounted feature, which does not affect the camera’s compatibility with the Mounted workflow.

✓Stabilization can be disabledSet Image Stabilizer Operation Mode to OFF, or use the lens O.I.S. switch when fitted. Turn E-Stabilization (Video) and Boost I.S. (Video) off. Lens combinations affect available controls; verify the OFF indicator.
✓Audio input availableUse the 3.5 mm stereo external microphone input and manual audio levels. 32-bit float recording requires the optional DMW-XLR2; it is not a property of the ordinary 3.5 mm input. Check that the sync signal is recorded without clipping or filtering. High-speed/S&Q modes may omit audio; use a recording mode that retains it.
✓Mount via accessory shoeUse a securely locked cold-shoe phone mount or a cage. Keep the phone rigid relative to the camera, with no rotation or flex. This is a mechanical mount; no electrical shoe connection is used.
!MediumCineD measured 13.2 ms in DCI 4K ProRes HQ at 25p/50p, versus 20.8 ms in 4:3 open gate at 25p.

Insta360 X4
!Stabilization depends on recording modeSingle-Lens Video applies FlowState in-camera and it cannot be switched off there. FreeFrame and 360 modes allow stabilization to be disabled when exporting in the app or Studio. Also disable Horizon Lock. This documents the controls; it does not confirm Mounted support for 360 or reframed footage.
!Audio input requires X4 Mic AdapterUse the dedicated X4 Mic Adapter for a 3.5 mm microphone connection. X2/X3 adapters are not compatible. An available input does not establish Omniscient sync compatibility.
✓Mount via accessory threadsThe X4 has a bottom 1/4-inch mounting point. Use a rigid bracket to attach it to the camera rig; keep the assembly short and prevent rotation.
