The amazing FiLMiC Pro app for iPhones and iPads provides never-before-seen command/control over their videos similar to professional-grade cameras.

The description for FiLMiC Pro app by its company Cinegenix could surprise many. According to the company (via BGR), its iOS app outsmarted the $5,000 Sony FS100 and tied the $13,000 Canon C300 in blind audience testing in a recent video camera shootout.

The company's bold statements appear to be true, as BGR thinks the quality of videos captured with the help of its iPhone and iPad app is surprisingly good; hence, it is safe to say FiLMiC Pro app could be worth the hype.
