foolgrip is a bluetooth setup app for the Aaton smart grip handle.

The iconic wooden grip is compatible with RED DSMC 1 / 2 cameras for now. Support for other cameras will be coming later via firmware upgrade.

fool grip app lets you setup each button according to your preferences. You can configure up to 4 different pages and save presets or export PDF cheat documents showing the assigned buttons.

Once setup the configuration is saved in the grip's memory and the app itself is not required for normal camera operation on set.

This handle is the result of a collaboration ignited by Jon Fauer between 3 companies :

Aaton Digital for the mechanical design
Transvideo for the electronic and firmware
foolcolor for the concept and software

Our is to provide professional camera operators with a confortable wooden grip that allows extensive fully customisable control of cinema cameras without any complex configuration process.
