### 2/5 — Is this it?

*2019-04-19*

Where are the options to change the sensor. What is a red camera? So many questions but I’m left to bumble through settings which mean nothing to me and I still can’t get it to do what I want it to.

**Developer response:** Well, first thanks for your note :) Red is a camera maker (www.red.com). To use more common camera sensors please try Magic Canon (or Nikon) ViewFinder. Hope it helps

### 3/5 — No grid

*2019-12-25*

Great concept but the screen has no grid for composing shots as shown in the app display, this was disappointing.

**Developer response:** Hi, I’d like to un-disappoint you: Menu > Preferences > Show grid — check it. Enjoy) PS Hello Mr 3-Star?)

### 5/5 — C2C integration is fantastic!

*2022-02-15*

A very useful tool!
All that’s missing is the addition V-Raptor and Komodo to the camera list.

**Developer response:** Komodo is added. Enjoy, my friend!)

### 5/5 — Komodo ?

*2022-02-14*

Please, please, please add a camera preset for Komodo. 

The Frame.io integration is so useful. In fact the Frame.io C2C(camera to cloud) integration is the killer feature. Whether for scouting with actual lens accuracy as to what lens(es) and focal lengths you’ll need or to on set inspirations for new ideas and the ability to share easily with crew and execute right away. 

Think you can get by with one lens? This app will prove it. Finicky about focal lengths? Try them all out with this app and have proof that you really do need that 12 lens package with still photos and video to show and most importantly share with others. 

This is a true preproduction and production tool that is very useful!

**Developer response:** Komodo is added. Enjoy and let me know if there is any problem )

### 5/5 — Great app

*2019-04-28*

As a red camera user’ I recommend this app to filmmakers even if they are not shooting with a red. It is essential framing guide that has replaced the measuring tape , I used. Any filmmaker needs this. But it is essential time saver for red camera film users.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your kind words

### 5/5 — Superb

*2018-02-28*

Such a good concept. The ability to immediately save shots helps with location scouting and preliminary storyboards. I appreciate the sticky values for focal lengths. I’d love to be able to tap on a sticky value and snap to there, rather than lining up sliders and hoping I’m close enough. 

I would like to see the same with stops and distance on the DOF calculator; (an incredibly handy feature to have in the same app) the total depth readout is a welcome update. My only qualm with that tool is it visually represents critical focus as midway between near and far distances rather than 1/3, 2/3. 

The ability to apply and import LUTs is very useful. I’m the type of person who would love to have curves available in-app to create a look on the fly, but nonetheless, an impressive feature. 

If an update brought a sun/time of day tracker to the table, this app would have the market cornered.

All in all, a very strong app and I’m excited to use it more and see where it goes!

**Developer response:** Hi there, thanks so much for your review.

In the latest update you can find the feature of tapping the sticky values. The sliders in DOF calculator will get that soon too.

Please note that the axis of distances in DOF tool is not linear, so even though the blue lines are equidistant to the red line the actual distance to the far edge is always longer than that to the near edge of the DOF. This is done is resemblance to the marks on the older lenses with manual aperture adjustments.

Before I will be thinking about the tracker feature, I will introduce the geo location function which is in my pipeline.

Thanks again!
