RED FOCUS

[Sterling Wescott]

So Jarred... What's it gonna be tonight?
RED GUNNER? BOMB EVF? Mini-Zoom? Scarlet? EPIC?

Seriously though, how much longer are you going to keep these nightly announcements going?
I'm dieing of sleep deprivation.

[Antonio Forjaz]

I only use the RED 18-50 and 50-150, do I need this???

ya and what other new goodies should I pe saving money for that you will announce? :)

[Karl Gustav H.]

There is something else pretty special about the RED FOCUS, specifically the custom target within it, that we will announce soon..

Some kind of active, closed loop feedback system that tells you when it's correct perhaps?

[Bob Renalds]

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

Every one of the devices on the market imitated UO. No one had one before they did.

This Red device looks slick. I love a one button device.....

That's what I think. If you look at the picture, there seem to be 2 LED lights on the front, one with an arrow saying CHECK BACK FOCUS. So if the other light is on, maybe you don't need any adjustment.

That was what I thought when I first saw it.

If I remember correctly and it was not in a dream, some mention was made that the Epic sensor would be able to "swing and tilt". If this is still true (and not just a wonderful dream), a calibration device that has targets corner to corner and top to bottom will be necessary to accurately reposition the sensor to the factory nominal settings. Varification of correct "flange to film/sensor plane" distance and paralellism is always welcome. It makes for a good night's sleep.

And you guys havn't even heard the most exciting thing about it yet :)

Really, this will actually shoot the footage for me? You won't need a DP anymore?

I have the best flange focus adjustment. ME!!!! Hahahaha

[Rick Darge]

lol.. the RED FOCUS is not a NULL... or anything like it. The Null is just a wide angle lens. the NULL you need a light source and alot of room and a target that you need to setup ( and light )

the RED FOCUS has an internal target, needs no room, can be set in the dark on a camera truck, and is a bit less subjective.

2 very different products , And you guys havn't even heard the most exciting thing about it yet :)

So just like the Optitek Optimator then?

[Jacek Zakowicz]

So just like the Optitek Optimator then?

Almost- Optimator still has the advantage of full sensor coverage, tilt and centering checking beside flangeneutral mounting system, onboard charger etc..
Except for the "secret" feature that has something to do with camera software I suppose.
Sooner or later somebody should do a flange tool shootout test, impartial as can be, other than this being the RED turf( with all due respect) so everyone is informed to make the best decision for their needs. I for one am all for it....
