Your very own RED headed assistant. Donna allows users to quickly learn, practice and reference the DSMC/DSMC2 menu structure in the palm of their hand. ANYTIME. ANYWHERE. A perfect companion for ACs, DPs, DITs, Rental Houses, Owner/Operators and film students working with RED cameras.

"I work for RED and have been supporting the cameras for over 7 years. 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

Pros and cons of Donna app for iPhone and iPad

Donna app good for

I cant imagine working with RED cameras and not having this app. Makes using/learning RED cameras so much easier. I see this being used on major film sets and film schools across the world all the time. Donna paired with DRAGON SCALES has you completely covered.

Please make a pack with other apps or combine everything into this,i dont want to buy different apps for each cam

Some bad moments

app is a great idea but you cant change any of the settings, like ISO, Shutter angle...etc. maybe its just a bug in the version. will be a great app once all the bugs are worked out.

I have been waiting for an App like Donna for years. This app will be very useful for all RED users.

The only thing that would make this better is if all the slider menus worked (some dont). Still a good app to get you familiar with the Red menus.

Makes creating a support support ticket super quick and easy right from my phone. Love it!!!

Camera was rolling and I needed to find a setting, was able to use Donna to locate it and look like I canoe what I was doing :)

Like I said, finally!!! Brilliant, essential for anyone about to use a RED. If the app updates itself every time there is a firmware update, Id be more than happy to pay for this app!
