  • 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 :)

RED ONE "Acapulco" in use...

Jim, Flying Cam next shot as well ?

Stewart

Heheh, I'm just waiting for that phone call... got a handful of professional camera flyers who'd love to get their hands on it... or their heads under it. ;)

That's a super badass setup, by the way. Did you guys just head out to the parking lot and shoot a bunch of badass stuff or was there a more specific goal to the test?
 
300x. But you might find the RED CF card the cheapest ones.

Jim

Hi,

What capacities are you planning on developing for the first around with
the camera's release? I can't believe you guys still have more things to
impress us.
 
We will impress you with many things but not all features will be enabled from the beginning. All upgrades will be easy. Download a file. Copy and load with CF.

Hehe... RED handed! Hope your well Steve! Stay cool in Memphis!

Thanks Andrew. Been playing soccer twice a week, 100% humidity... mid 90's... there ain't no way to stay cool in Memphis. Well maybe if I wear some Oakley M Frame. :matrix:

Any more of this stuff and I better PM you. Hope your doing well as well. See you next month if not sooner.
 
I can't believe you let him touch your camera, he's totally insane. :w00t:

I watched the making of crank and it seems that a crazy camera toting director is a good choice for a test.:sarcasm:

At least you didn't have Michael Bay hit one with a car to see if it would hold up.

Sweet pics. Thanks Jim
 
This is all fantastic news surfacing, I can already feel the wave...the tsunami of RED one in action pix and RED ONE content that is to come.

Oh and Jim,…

When can I order a case of those RED CF cards...?

Keep it coming!
 
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.

Now compare and contrast with what Mark used in "Crank"...
In order to get the most mobility possible from Sony’s F950 cameras, Theodorakis collaborated with Pace Technologies to construct what has been termed the Nano or Nanocam. It is essentially a backpack rig that contains all the elements necessary for one person to power and operate a modular F950 and record the resultant video. The F950 is described as modular because the unit's optical block (the T-cam) is separated from the camera body/DSP processing system. With this configuration, a camera operator holds the F950's optical block with DigiPrime lens and image plate, while the camera body, SRW-1 deck and battery pack contained in the backpack rig are located nearby. The camera head, body and deck are all connected by two lightweight fibre-optic cables.

We are all truely lucky bastards...
 
60MPH...what a wimp !

Cannot wait to finally exchange a half-broken and old Sony FX1 with RED.

Or to jump from the consumer HDV to the professional 4K shooting.

That's me shooting handheld with FX1 on the staircases at "Les Jardins du Trocadero" in Paris, September last year.
 
A couple days ago my friend was complaining about how shitty their two Sony VX1000's and Sony VX2100 were in low-light shooting. They go out at like 1-2 a.m. shooting skateboarding promos for Red Bull. They are going to love seeing that pic of Mark Neveldine along with the news that RED has successfully tested at ISO (ASA) 4000!

Jim,

I appreciate the continued firmware updates as I believe this is one area where your company will really show the value of the product you sell. Many other companies "abandon" their customers or leave them with heavy bills if they want new/updated features. From day one, I've thought the "making obsolescence obsolete" slogan was one of the best you/your team have come up with!

That being said, I know it's an easy solution for you as you have all of these toys and are able to play with them on a daily basis - but for someone who doesn't have the CF adapter add-on, can firmware updates be somehow applied over USB or the like? I think even with a CF module, I'd rather plug the camera in than have to make a copy of the firmware independently after I've downloaded it. Just some food for thought.
 
isn't there an sd-card slot somewhere for this aplication?
or is it gone?

you could plug in some kinda cheapo card-reader to one of the usb ports, too..

Hi,

I really like the idea of Red making their own CF card brand, it will certainly take the guesswork out of choosing the right speed / version. Have we heard the last word yet on weather or not the CF card option will accommodate more the 1 card?

Thanks,
G.A

Red CF cards... great news, is this something that has just been announced in this thread or did I miss an announcment earlier?

Jim, do you know what size CF cards you will have on release? 8MB I presume is a definate, 16MB would be great, 32MB would be awesome though.
 
Any quote for what the Compact Flash capability on the camera will cost, or will it be a standard feature?
 
upgrade media

upgrade media

RED Flash (CF) Module is a $500 option:

RED Store has the current prices for everything:

"We will impress you with many things but not all features will be enabled from the beginning. All upgrades will be easy. Download a file. Copy and load with CF.

Jim"


so do upgrades require the $500 option, is there another cf port or can we also use an SD or USB port to upgrade camera?
 
Good question!
