  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Why I love my Red and the 300mm RPP

Love the Meerkat!

I own all the RPP's available right now. The 300 is my favorite with the 85 running a close second. Still hoping/waiting for a 65mm with macro ability.

Most of the shots in the video are using the 300mm but a few shots use other RPP's. Let me know what you think :) This was using the standard sensor, ours is having it's upgrade done now.

The lens sure takes nice pics, and the general flow seemed OK. Were the flamincos (?) overexposed or was that a compression artifact on Vimeo?
What tripod head are you using?
Cheers
 
This is the problem, I was using a small Sachtler video 18 with carbon fibre legs to try and make the load lighter (ENG style). You can easily pick up some shake. Trekking around a zoo with the Sachtler, the Red AND the big Red lens box is hard enough as it is with just two people, let alone doing it with a heavy duty tripod! It may well be over exposed, we were working quickly in between rain showers. I hate the English weather!!!

Right now I'm having to switch to the Nikon mount and use a Nikkor 105mm Macro I have :'( . I Would love a 65mm RPP with macro!!!! What lens support do you use with the 300?

Well nice work Oli. Hopefully, for your next gig you can get enough rate for 2 assistants and carry a bigger stick! ;-)

Yeah, this was just to show them what we can do! I will have to have two assistants now anyway, I've gone and broken my leg!
 
I'm using the Zacuto lens support with mine, but I'm planning to buy the one that Duclos makes. That and also a replacement front cap since the included one is flexible and could make contact with the lens if it gets pushed in or hit with something.

Ah okay, good idea! I'm upset there's no official Red case as the case that comes with the others is great!

Just a reminder.
Optitek offers a solid support bracket for the 300mm RPP with adjustable post
similar to our 18-85 support system. It attaches with two screws to the existing threaded holes in the barrel. Will work well with the RU adapter kit.
They are black anodized with texture matching the lens...:yesnod:

At the moment I have a broken leg and the cameras being upgraded so there's no point me buying at the moment but I will contact you as soon as I'm ready to purchase considering the price is reasonable!

Reasonable price

Reasonable price

I made this product with two priorities- solid performance and afford-ability. I don't know how far I can disclose pricing, but I will say it's about half the price of the competition not mentioning names or numbers. Please contact me directly and I'll give you the details.
RU adapter kit is hardware kit that turns your RU bracket into proper support bridge. We sell them (adapter kits)as well..

Yeah absolutely love your support+Arm for the 18-85, but wouldn't you supposed to invoice me for the 300 suuport??

Never got the invoice Jacek, and like to have the 300 support ;)
