No BS… I sincerely believe that this is hands down the best thing for any RED user, assistant, owner, operator, or enthusiast to have on their phone. I recommend it to everyone on the receiving end of one of my camera demos, or anyone who contacts me about menu navigation." - Nate Heartt, RED LEARN. PRACTICE.
