Protake - Mobile Cinema Camera

Built by Beijing Lingguang Zaixian Information Technology, it delivers true LOG mapped to ALEXA Log C for professional color grading. If you download Protake, the capture pipeline aligns with post‑production workflows used by filmmakers. It suits quick vlogging and more complex shoots, and the features below outline what helps most on set.

• Auto and Pro modes for fast vlogs or full manual control.
• True LOG gamma to ALEXA Log C for wide dynamic range.
• Cinematic Looks library: Neutral, Film Emulations, Movie‑inspired, ALEXA styles.
• On‑screen waveform, parade, RGB histogram, audio meters with alerts.
• Constant FPS normalization, standard file names, and rich metadata saved.

Auto and Pro shooting modes

Auto mode keeps single‑handed shooting simple for vlogs and everyday clips, while Pro mode opens full manual control and detailed on‑screen camera info. In the Protake latest version, Auto and Pro live in the Modes menu, so you can switch quickly as your scenario changes. Practical touches help during real shoots: start and stop with a record beeper or flash, or use the volume keys when you need a steadier grip. Auto suits fast moments and reactive content; Pro suits controlled lighting, locked exposure, and repeatable focus pulls.

True LOG capture for professional grading

LOG capture is available under Color and uses ALEXA Log C mapping for wide dynamic range and grading‑friendly files. This profile retains highlight detail and shadow nuance so your footage responds well to professional color workflows. In brightly lit scenes or mixed lighting, enable LOG to keep flexibility for later grading and matching across takes. Protake makes this a practical option on mobile, though LOG does require some color grading knowledge. If you are still learning, start with Neutral or a Look preset, then move into LOG when ready.

Cinematic Looks presets

The built‑in Cinematic Looks library offers Neutral, Film Emulation inspired by Kodak and Fuji stocks, Movie‑inspired styles, and ALEXA Looks. These presets provide appealing starting points when you want a finished look straight from camera. Choose a film emulation for a softer roll‑off and classic color, or switch to Neutral when planning heavy grade later. Protake applies these presets directly during capture, which is helpful for matching mood across different scenes and maintaining consistency without deep post work.

Monitoring and visual assistants

Waveform, parade, and RGB histogram help read exposure and color balance at a glance, while audio meters ensure your sound levels stay healthy. Zebra and false color offer quick exposure checks for skin tones and key highlights, and composition guides cover aspect ratios, safe areas, rule of thirds, crosshairs, and a 3‑axis horizon. Focus peaking and auto‑focus are available, and A‑B points support repeatable zoom or focus pulls for planned moves. All monitors and aids toggle directly on the shooting screen, so Protake keeps technical feedback within view as you frame a shot.

Constant FPS and reliable data

Frame rate normalization locks capture to exact 24, 25, 30, 60, or 120 FPS, which simplifies editing and conforming for delivery. Frame‑drop notices appear during capture if performance slips, giving you time to adjust settings or reduce background load to protect a take. Standard file naming and rich metadata are saved automatically to keep projects organized and traceable in post. Protake also includes Portrait Video for simulated shallow depth of field, though quality can degrade during fast camera movement. For motion‑heavy shots, consider disabling Portrait or stabilizing your move to maintain image quality.

Protake Pros & Cons

These strengths reflect the cinema‑grade focus and data‑driven design, while limitations come from the advanced color pipeline and device variability in Protake.

• LOG mapped to ALEXA Log C for grading flexibility.
• Cinematic looks deliver fast, stylized results on set.
• Comprehensive monitoring for exposure, color, and audio.
• Constant FPS with frame‑drop alerts for reliable capture.
• Auto mode supports quick vlogging and single‑handed shooting.

• Learning curve for LOG and manual controls.
• Device‑dependent performance; Portrait mode struggles with motion.

Download Protake APK from APKPure

You can get the Protake APK on APKPure and install it in a few minutes, depending on your network speed. APK size may vary by version, and some devices may show system prompts during installation. After installation, launch the app and grant camera and microphone permissions so recording and monitoring work correctly.

When the app opens, try Auto mode for a quick test shot, then explore Pro controls as needed. If footage stutters, check frame rate normalization and close background apps before a longer take. Keep storage available for longer projects, and back up clips regularly to protect your work.
