This is Mark Neveldine (Writer, Director and Camera Operator on "Crank") giving "Acapulco" a test drive. He is bad-ass on wheels.

Camera as tested weighed about 18 pounds.

Looks like hand-holding isn't an issue...

...wouldn't want to hit a stone though.
 
Cool. And I was planning to try handheld on hockey skates (ice) as soon as I got RED in my hands. ...This just makes me more anxious.
 
18lbs for what's pictured? I only see body, battery, LCD and top plate. Has the camera weight gone north of 12lbs? If so, no biggie, not grousing, just a Q.

Either way, the picture looks awesome!

I'm kinda guessing here, but we're looking at the camera, top rail/plate, top grip handle, LCD, battery, and a lens. There's also the recording media... RED Drive? I could see where that adds up to 18lbs real easily; and with the camera body itself still coming in around 9lbs.

... and a lens. Might have been a bit lighter, we didn't actually weigh it. Body still weighs 9 pounds. We added up the approximate weight of each part and were conservative.

BTW, he does this at 60mph.

Oh yeah, lense, d'oh! (this is what happens when I post before whiskey).

So was he recording to Compact Flash or something else?
 
Compact Flash.

Fantastic! Will Compact Flash be available for us first run cameras? Last I read it won't be available till year end.
 
Compact Flash will be available with the camera release. An 8GB card records for 4 1/2 minutes. It is a very cool way to go. But there are many times when the RED Drive is a better option. And RED Ram is coming soon as well. Nice to have options.

Jim

note: very few CF cards meet the required speed spec. We will post which ones do, including our own RED CF card.
 
Oh good!!! I'm really, really glad to have that option! What is the minimum write speed that i need to get for the CF to work properly?
 
Are there any RED mounts accessories for the Cars
( Fer...Lamo...Mclaren ...Proch,,,etc ? )

Rich people has skills life are expensive though !

300x. But you might find the RED CF card the cheapest ones.
