November 30th Announcement Feedback

This may already have been asked, but is the mini PL mount a new creation by RED, or is it a standard that is already out there in 16mm world?

Quick question:

Scarlet 2/3" Fixed package comes with REDVolt battery and travel charger.

Curious as to where the battery goes as there was no mention of side handle or battery module included.

I was thinking the same thing as I was getting ready for bed last night. How would this be a complete package if you can not power the unit without a place to store the battery?

I believe that the official word was that they hadn't decided where the battery will go - just that it is included in the package. We'll find out soon enough where it's going.

My best guess (that's all it's good for) is if you look at the side by side picture of the fixed and interchangeable, notice how the fixed has 6 vent holes as opposed to 5 on the interchangeable (top of camera).

The fixed also has a bit more length (on the back) from what it looks like, I would assume that the battery would go underneath in that extra length?

As for the handle I think it's there cause it looks cool (it convinces me that I need one), I mean there's no pictures of the complete fixed package. I also wouldn't be surprised if the camera looks completely different from the one I hope to hold in my hands by the end of Q2.

I dunno?

Hey Cid, I think Stephen's previous post was correct. Jarred stated they were still working out exactly what the total fixed package will include. But it is safe to assume it will include some sort of battery solution, whether that be a side handle, module or something else because Jarred/Jim did state it will be ready to shoot... but as of yet still unknown.

The extra length you are noticing has to to with the optics/mechanicals of the fixed lens. There was a post by Jarred a couple months back that had a picture of the lens itself and it extends quite significantly into the body of the fixed scarlet which required some extra room to move the sensor back.

Stephen is right.. we still need to get a few details sorted.. but don't worry, we will make sure you have an option.

Ah..

Thanks Jarred for taking the time to answer the question!

I haven't seen any word on it yet but... a mini zoom? I would love a mini zoom lens, can you imagine the scarlet (not fixed) with a mini zoom lens.

Am I outdated? Has somebody already mentioned this?

Mini primes are compatible with 2/3" B4 cameras, right ?
