Gear - Tech Issue Timecode on Iphone 17 pro max

Hey guys! I'm using 2 cameras for my shoots and the deity tc1's and have been wanting to use the iphone 17 pro max as c cam or a backup cam, problem is i cant figure out how to connect my tc1 to it, i've tried a 3.5mm to usb c adapter and no luck. Has anyone tried to do something similar?

Blackmagic App is free and has timecode sync via Bluetooth (tentacle sync boxes work great). Also has lots of other great features that the DoP may like to have use of.

hmm. I haven't looked into it but does anyone know if BETSO TCX-2+ timecode transceiver and generator boxes will work with iPhone & Blackmagic App ? It's in 902 - 928 MHz (USA/Canada) Frequency range not 2.4Ghz bluetooth transmission looks like no.

They don’t work together. The betso doesn’t do Bluetooth, which is what the app needs.
