O'connor 1030HDS (Studio)

Thanks Gibby

I guess a break down from RED of what things weigh would be very useful as its all guess work.

BTW have you heard anything with regard to the delay in shipping?
Seems nothing is coming from RED these days and there is a lot of guessing going on.

When Jim announced the delay, he said he would post an updated delivery schedule in a couple weeks. So far, it's been one week. Here's the post again.

Well, actually it isn't all guess work though. To shoot the DSLR photos for my 4/16 RED at NAB article in Studio Daily I visited RED headquarters on 4/3 and personally handled the RED camera body, the RED 18-50 lens and other accessories. I also helped mount an EFP sized RED setup on an O'Connor 1030HD while there, with Jarred. From a 30-year career in EFP field production I'm a very good judge of what things weigh, how to estimate weights, what can be hand held, what can be shouder held, and estimating tripod loads. Nobody on the RED Team staff has close to the length or diversity of mobile EFP production background that I do. They will confirm the weights shortly, and I assure you my estimates will be very accurate.

As for the delay in shipping, I don't expect it to be lengthy. My RED #8 is one of the very first RED One cameras to ship, so you can also rest assured that I'm be one of the first to be notified when a shipping date is finalized. As mentioned in other posts of mine, #8 will then go right into EFP field shooting and testing, then team testing in Los Angeles.

Thanks for the all the advice Gibby. Its much appriciated! I think i'll be going for a 1030. When you said that you are going for the 1030 HD - did you mean this one or the HDS?

The 1030 HD handles 30lbs and the HDS takes 40lbs. Apparently the HDS only allows 60 degrees tilt as opposed to 90 degrees on the HD.

Why do you guys keep saying the 1030HDS handles 40lbs? According to the BHPHOTO website, it handles, 60lbs.. More than enough.

Or is that site wrong?
