RED weight built w. accessories

[Ivan G]

Just got home a few hours ago. Couldn't wait to get on reduser.net. I was internet free since Monday. SoI enter NAB and begin looking for the RED booth. BAM! There it was! As I walk up and try to enter. There was a security gaurd hmy: I knew it! I mentioned that it would happen! So I try to enter but the line wraps around the booth all the way down to the end of the building. So I decided to come back early next morning and sprint to the booth. So I do and still have to wait in a 30 minutes in line. We finally get in and Jim introduces the 4k and talks about the movie. I'm going to try to remember what he said. Jim: Hi folks what you are about to see is the RED being put to the test in some extreme weather conditions. Everything from dollies, tripods, cranes and even mounted to a helicopter. This short was shot in two days with no time for retakes. We ask that no one videotape the screen and upload the footage on youtube. If you do, we will beat you, throw you out and break your camera :biggrin: LOL! The movie begins.... OMG! You had to see it to believe it!!!!!! Incredible!!!!! I also got to meet Jarred and Brook. It was great meeting you all! Here go some pix.

The camera + lens + mattebox + onboard flash media + Steadicam battery + zoom motor should be fine for a Flyer.

A Flyer's max cap. is 15lbs. I think the Archer is the cheapest Steadicam model that can handle Red.

We worked it out with the guys... it will work on a Flyer. It'll be right at the limit, but it's possible.

The Archer is much more desirable.

Great Brook, I look forward to trying it out on a friend's Flyer.
