Optitron and Canon L glass

[Jacek Zakowicz]

Not a problem- I was thinking to have some cinelock mounting solutions but the simple v-mount should suffice...

Is there any future opertunity of Optitron controling a camera wireless and using the Red mount. Im guessing you need to access the Redmote protocols to do this ?

 

[Jake Wilganowski]

Good question.

We would LOVE the opportunity...:yesnod:

Hopefully Chris will be able to show more setups to show the potential of this system. We are just scratching the surface now....

Something to chew on during these Holidays.
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!!!!

Chris,

Do the VIV donuts match the diameter of your lenses? If not, are you using step-down inserts? The current donuts don't match our lenses, so we're looking for a solution.

 

[Jacek Zakowicz]

Since the zooms telescope you may have to go with bellows on soft doughnuts.

Hi Jacek,

Will it be possible to wirelessly control two Scarlets or Epics to control focus for 3D? Or even do this wired?

Yes that's the plan- software upgrade after the release of the wireless option.

 

[Nils Ruinet]

Can the software upgrades be done by the user, or do we need to resend the unit for maintenance ?

 

[Steven Blye]

Yes that's the plan- software upgrade after the release of the wireless option.

That is totally cool. Where is the product on your site? I couldn't find it?

 

[Jacek Zakowicz]

Nils most likely by the user. The OptiTron has an USB port for that.
Steven thank you,
Contact me via email below in my signature for more info...

A little update,

The first project we shot with the OptiTron is almost through post. Very high profile client- loves the entire finish. We've been previewing the project on our 12' projection screen and the material looks fantastic. We'll be moving to final grading in Resolve this week, but I could not be more pleased or confident in the finish and the experience with Jacek and The OptiTron.

 

[Jacek Zakowicz]

Thank you Chris,
That's great news. Finally we are able to see the optical performance without the mechanical handicap.
The mechanics of AF lenses are irrelevant with the OptiTron..

Just a reminder,
Cine lens revolution is passing by, get with it!!! Ride the wave!!!:yesnod:

Jacek did you ever post the new video? The link on here isn't working.

 

[James McLellan]

How far away is the wireless in terms of time? Any idea?

 

[Jacek Zakowicz]

We are finishing the new video.
I did not like the old one . you guys are very picky for videos- rightfully so... :yesnod:

Just got an email from http://www.lockcircle.com/ about their new DSLR wireless focus unit. It connects to the DSLR via USB. Would be awesome if you were able to connect directly into the Epic and utilize the Red canon mount. Could then utilize all the lens data in camera etc.
Hey RED! Pretty please!
