Why Pocketframe

A webcam you reach for, or a camera you direct.

Plugged into a Mac, the Pocket is already a great webcam. Pocketframe adds what a camera operator would do for you, so you can stay in your seat and keep talking.

  • Aim the cameraWebcam mode on its own: Reach over and tilt it by handWith Pocketframe: Joystick, drag the picture or arrow keys
  • Change anglesWebcam mode on its own: One angle until you move itWith Pocketframe: Saved Scenes on ⌥1 to 9, the gimbal glides there
  • Your lookWebcam mode on its own: The camera's own color profileWith Pocketframe: Live looks and your own LUTs, in every take
  • RecordWebcam mode on its own: Through another appWith Pocketframe: 4K straight to your Mac, or the card over Wi-Fi
  • TutorialsWebcam mode on its own: Two recordings, then an editWith Pocketframe: Screen, camera and a finished video in one take
  • ControlsWebcam mode on its own: On the camera's small screenWith Pocketframe: Window, notch and keyboard shortcuts

Made for how you create.

Pick what you make. Pocketframe sets up the shot, the look and the recording around it.

YouTube videos

Film alone, look produced.

Talking to the camera on your own is hard to make look good. Pocketframe keeps you in frame and gives every take your look.

It keeps you in frame.

Face tracking turns the camera as you move, so you stay centered without anyone behind it. Auto frame sets a clean shot with room above your head in one click.

Your channel's look, live.

Pick one of six built-in looks or bring your own LUT. You see the grade while you film and it is recorded into every take in 4K, so there is nothing to color later. Drag to compare.

Pro

Tutorials and coursesNew in Pro

Teach on screen, stay on camera.

Record your Mac's screen and the Pocket in one take. Auto zoom glides to every click and follows your cursor, so the finished video looks edited. Blur or remove the room behind you, or stand in front of your screen as a cutout, and the raw files are there if you want to edit it yourself.

Try it: place yourself, then blur or remove the room.
  • Screen.movYour Mac's screen
  • Camera.movThe Pocket's picture
  • Combined.movReady to post

Pocketframe's own windows stay out of the screen recording.

Background blur and removal run on your Mac. Camera.mov stays untouched, so you can change your mind later.

Streams and calls

Run the camera while you are live.

Stay in your stream, your class or your client call. Steer the Pocket, cut between angles and check yourself without touching it.

Scene 21.8x
⌥

Switch angles live.

Save your wide, close and desk shots as Scenes and jump between them with Option 1 to 9 while you are on air. The gimbal glides there on its own.

Pro⌥1⌥2

Aim without reaching.

Pick the Pocket as your camera in OBS, Zoom or Meet and steer it from your desk: drag the picture, scroll to zoom, or use the arrow keys. No reaching into the shot.

Free

Controls that stay out of your shot.

Hover the MacBook notch for a live preview, record, zoom and Scenes, even with the main window closed, so nothing covers the stream you are running.

Free

Shorts, Reels and TikTok

Made for the vertical feed.

Record once for every platform, and take the camera away from the desk when the shot calls for it.

Shoot once, post everywhere.

Frame yourself inside the 9:16 guide and record in 4K. The same take crops cleanly for Shorts, Reels and TikTok and still works as a full YouTube video.
