Manfrotto MVDDM14 Digital Director for iPad mini 3 and iPad mini 2

With Digital Director and the free Digital Director app, control your camera and share your images directly from your iPad using simple gestures. Digital Director makes capturing, editing and sharing all your special moments as intuitive as using your iPad.

Manfrotto’s Digital Director is the only Apple certified (MFi – Made for iPad Certification) electronic device that connects a wide array of Canon and Nikon DSLRs models* and iPad mini 2 and iPad mini 3 via a reliable USB cable. Digital Director features a dedicated CPU (micro-processor ARM® Cortex®-A8) that works with the Digital Director App to interface the iPad and camera, enabling the iPad to control key camera parameters. Video streaming between devices is smooth, consistent and latency is extremely low. Download speed for RAW and JPEG images to the App is incredibly fast.

The Digital Director App remotely controls key camera parameters such as exposure, ISO, shutter speed, aperture. Users can easily monitor and dynamically modify these parameters and more, including quick and easy intervalometer and time lapse set up, individual/group LED light (up to 13 lights such as Manfrotto LYKOS and Litepanels ASTRA LEDs) via Bluetooth® (on/off, adjust dimming level and colour temperature, set up groups and configure/save multiple scenes).

Real-time “Live View” monitoring through a certified cable link ensures a stable connection between devices. Digital Director also provides the ultimate shooting precision through dynamic histogram and audio level displays, interactive focus point selection anywhere on the screen and digital zoom that magnifies selected focus points. An on-screen focus peaking indicator ensures crisply accurate focus, and a zebra filter indicates over- and/or underexposed areas. Images can be rated and have keywords assigned to them, all details of JPEG images can be checked by viewing the downloaded file using standard iPad “gestures”. Users can put the finishing touches on work inside the App and check the image’s general information, histogram, crop free or with proportion, rotate, set exposure, saturation, contrast, light, blur.

Albums and images can be saved, organized, filtered and shared via preferred social network Apps, Wi-Fi web server, direct to FTP, or e-mail. With the Manfrotto Digital Director plug-in for Adobe® Lightroom® for desktop, the additional Digital Director metadata of pictures shared from Digital Director can be imported into Adobe Lightroom for desktop.
