BACKPACK system

[Rob Ruffo]

YUM!

[Paul Nordin]

I don't see it - all that stuff exists already - in fact, most RED ONE owners have already purchased that stuff - all you need is the riser/quick release, and just keep shooting the old fashioned way -

They're not pushing out old stuff - they're adding new, amazing stuff -

On my feature film shoot, I used all my old RED ONE stuff and even recycled a Bogen quick release system to substitute for the Riser.

All of my crappy old Bogen gear is getting a makeover with the EPIC because, what wasn't beefy enough for the RED ONE, works great with the EPIC.

The writing on the wall is: modularity makes old things new, and opens up all kinds of space to innovate.

This shit is so exciting.

well yeah sure. Of course that stuff all exists already. For a good reason. However, I'm not buying your statement that Red already makes all that stuff for Epic. They make all that stuff for Red One, which is a tank compared to Epic's masaratti. If I were to build out a flexible system to cover all the configurations needed using Red One AKS, the AKS would weigh much more than the camera. Epic needs the more traditional form-function support gear just as much as these new DSMC tools. Thats all I''m saying. Obvioulsly these new AKS are very very cool and an entirely different form factor than traditional cinema support equipment. Its innovative and has an agressive design element that most everyone who shoots with Red products appreciates. Myself included.

My question is not that these are cool or not, but what style of shooting are they targeted towards? I'm a top down thinker. See the big picture and flesh out the details. I'm just starting to get what Red's big-picture is for the DSMC line. But I still am curious what Red's big picutre is and where all these are AKS heading.

Looks sweet. Nice and compact well done guys

Such a Wedge should be made, as the shown config will be very frontheavy with a 4pound lens, a clip-on mattebox with 3 glassfilters and an FF4!
Maybe even one that does not angle up.

That was kind of my thought process...

I'm sure there will be a configuration that will do that, whether it's the wedge, or the clutch possibly using the snake. (if that's still in the works.)

Jarred,

someone brought a concern in a previous thread about this configuration....Does the power cord from the battery plate gets in the way (where it inserts at the bottom)?...in other word is it going to be smashed against the shoulder in hand held mode or is there enough clearance that it never really interferes?

Looking forward to purchasing all this stuff for our Epic M....when they're back in stock that is... ;)

[Pietro Impagliazzo]

Simple, classy and super-effective!

My main interest in the Backpack would be rear-mounting my V-lock batteries. However, if the Redvolt modular adapter for Epic is coming anytime in the next couple of months, I would rather wait and use that with 2 or 4 Redvolts. Any idea when Redvolt modules are coming for Epic?
