  • 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 :)

epic dimensions?

Is lens mount info available somewhere? I'd love a Canon FD mount if anyone is willing to make them.
 
Jarred/Jim-

Thank you for posting the dimensions of the Epic. Much appreciated.

Quick question though, I don't see the 1.8" module on the schematic. Is what we see with the module removed? If so, that's great news for anyone doing stereo 3D.

If not, can the module be removed and can we use the upcoming rear 1.8" module instead?

Thank you.

-CJ

From Stuart re:REDmote

Uses a proprietary wireless communication we call REDLink, which is designed for low power and communication robustness (i.e. it is not 802.11 WiFi)

REDmote should last 4-6 hours on continuous operation (LCD illuminated) but if not touched for 5 minutes it will "sleep" the LCD to save power, so in practice you may get a full day's worth of operation on one charge. Of course re-attach to camera starts the re-charge process again.

REDmote also auto-powers down if the camera it is in communication with is powered down...

Are those measurements in mm?

If so, that means the brain is only about as long as an iPhone.

No matter how much I read on these forums, there's always something new to be impressed about.

No it is obviously inches. The camera is 147 inches high, so we all better head for the gym. ;-)
Joking aside its REALLY small...Fantastic! Metric rocks!
Lets hope all the nuts and bolts are metric too...

No no no you are all wrong, they are obviously in meters!

Inspired by the nice renderings that Jarred provided, I built an Epic model in SketchUp. I haven't built out the back, bottom and the left side of the camera since I didn't have any detailed reference for that.

My logo at the bottom is the size of a typical business card (for scale).

Jarred and Jim.

Thank you for this!

Is that sketchup model downloadable?

Can justin pm me a link to where I can get that (if it is being offered up of course)

Thanks again.

David
 
Hey Jarred, any chance of a view of the bottom plate too? The mounting points would seem to be quite crucial. Thanks Man.
 
Alright Jarred, its time to show off my creation.
Made this during one evening, during my unemplyoment, back in October.


Maybe I should start my own thread.

Just for the record... these are to help those who want to make 3rd party accessories. It is not for re-post anywhere else.

These are exactly what I asked for some time ago. I figured I'd have to wait til my EPIC arrived to start.

Jim, do 3rd party parts need to be RED certified?

Thanks, Jim.

Any chance of a straight on photo and dimensions (or line drawing including button positions ) of the redmote? - want to make an underwater case for it and a head start would be great before my epic-x arrives (based on sn206).

Also, is there a wired option? Rf is attenuated almost immediately in water, so unless it can also be attached by wire it would need to be up against the plastic backplate for signal penetration. I understand there is a USB connection but IIRC it is just for charging.

If not does anyone know if you can use some kind of wire/antenna coax to feed that signal from one housing to another - only a few feet is necessary. Long distance would be nice but I suspect we can do that via Ethernet - want to keep it simpler for regular free swimming use.

Did the specs change on the vent on the top, isn't it still curved like this:

Jarred - That's the best response one could hope for ;)

David - I don't normally offer my models for download. That might change in the future. I'm using the cine gear models in my camera setup work as well as for some RED workflow documentation I'm working on. I'll be building each component as they come out and if there's a need for my models then I might make exceptions.

Kevin - Thanks for the complements! I'll have to come back to Austin for the Grand Prix!

While modeling the Epic I did notice some things (I apologize if these have been already covered somewhere else):

- The heat vent at the top is square now. I am assuming the images Jarred posted are current. I like the new vent if it is the final version, I think it blends well with the rest of the body details and curves. I didn't model it with the roundness that it really has since that would have made it pretty complex. But I think you get the idea.
- The front fan intake is more complex then before and now has the two mic inputs.
- The entire lens mount is on what appears to be a block that can be removed with 4 allen bolts. Nice.
- I made a guess as to how you would remove the mount. Probably not correct but it was fun to model it.
- The smart side (at least what appears in Jarred's images) has a plate similar to the dumb side. I assume that plate removes for the new SSD module. That module looks to have the EVF connector, user buttons and recording trigger.

Still the question remains is how do you back-focus?

I wasn't going to model it with so much detail but I got carried away by the beauty of the design and couldn't help myself.

Lastly, I hope my logo at the bottom doesn't look like I'm promoting myself. I just do that to offer my signature to the image. Plus it is my new design for biz cards and it makes for a scale indicator.

Next I guess I have to actually add some allen bolts (which I have in my model library somewhere).
