DOPro: Director's Viewfinder — iPhone & iPad

The camera department,
in your pocket.

Not a calculator app. DOPro is a director's viewfinder with real cine lens sets, a smart digital slate, a shot list, a sun tracker and ten fast tools underneath — the whole shoot from the scout to the export, with the radios off. Free to try; unlock Pro once and it's yours.

What's inside

Six tools you'd otherwise carry separately.

01

Director's viewfinder

See the shot before the camera is on the tripod. Simulate the body, sensor mode and lens you'll actually have, with real aspect ratio overlays — then capture the frame and send it to the team.

  • 32 camera bodies with real sensor sizes
  • 15 named cine lens sets — ARRI Master and Ultra Primes, Angénieux Optimo, Canon CN-E, Cooke S4/i, DZOFilm and more
  • Live framelines, aspect overlays and crop factor
  • Capture reference frames and share them
02

Smart digital slate

A slate that remembers. Scene, take, roll, timecode, FPS, ISO, white balance and lens stay attached to the take — and walk out of the day as a shot log editorial can read.

  • Auto-incrementing takes and circle selects
  • INT/EXT, DAY/NIGHT, MOS/SYNC tagging
  • Running timecode and camera identity
  • Export the whole log as PDF
03

Lighting diagrams

Draw the setup instead of describing it. Drag cameras, lights and modifiers onto the canvas, save the diagram against the scene, and hand the gaffer something real.

  • Drag-and-drop canvas
  • Cameras, lights and modifiers
  • Saved per scene, alongside everything else
04

Sun & moon tracker

Know exactly when golden hour lands — on the day you're shooting, at the place you're shooting it, before you promise the producer anything.

  • Sun and moon positions for any date and location
  • Golden hour timing for exterior planning
  • Works from your last known location with no signal
05

Plan, scout & shot list

The whole prep in one project: scenes, shots, locations and tech notes, with a prep score that tells you what you still haven't locked.

  • Scenes and shot list you tick off as you film
  • Location scouting — photos, notes, GPS and access information
  • Tech scout notes attached to the location
  • Production-ready PDF and CSV reports
06

Ten tools underneath

The numbers you need between setups, one tap away — and DOPro suggests the one you're most likely reaching for.

Questions

Before you download.

What does DOPro cost?

Free to download and use — the viewfinder, the smart slate, the ten tools and one active project are all free. A one-time DOPro Pro Lifetime unlock ($12.99) adds unlimited projects, shot-list import and unlimited saved viewfinder captures. No subscription, ever.

Does it work with no signal?

Yes — every tool runs on the device, no account, no network. The only exception is map overlays in the sun tracker; the sun and moon math itself works offline.

Which cameras and lenses does the viewfinder support?

32 camera bodies with real sensor sizes and 15 named cine lens sets — ARRI Master and Ultra Primes, Angénieux Optimo, Canon CN-E, Cooke S4/i, DZOFilm and more — so the framelines match the kit you'll actually shoot.

I already paid for DOPro. Do I have to pay again?

No. Everyone who bought DOPro when it was a paid app keeps Pro permanently, for free — the entitlement is granted automatically.

Free to try. $12.99 once for Pro.

No subscription, no ads, no account, no data leaving your phone. It works on the day you need it, in the place with no bars.
