Film in 2K, on your iPhone! - UltraKam Review
458UltraKam, an app that promises to allow your iPhone to leave behind 1080p and start kickin' it at 2K resolution for recording video!
So let's find out how it measures up in another Blunty Review.
Ultrakam is the first iOS app capable of recording "2K" resolution with a film-like 24p frame rate,

UltraKam test footage filmed in h.264 iFrame 50Mb/s (~425 Mbit/s), 2K (2240 x 1672) @30fps
(the app can do 24fps, and 25fps, but I needed to use 30fps to match it up properly with the 1080p reference shots I was also taking with the default app).
Naturally, to get the best from the UltraKam sample footage here, you'll be wanting to watch in the highest quality setting, on a device that can display it properly.
"Record at 2K Film resolution and get 70% more pixels than HD. Capture timelapses up to twice the HD size and make Slow Motion all in this amazing app!.
