  • 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 :)

more renders...

There is plenty of room... but you can do what you want.

Yes, the perspective fool me too, I can see here that there's plenty of room... and as Jim said, we can put the modules in any order we want to, so... problem solved!!

Thanks guys!!

Looking forward to spring/summer 09 :)
 
Put an LCD on the back of that thing, remove all recording possibilities and make a great and affordable viewfinder.

dont worry Boris... you can orient the LCD anyway you want.

I too, am a huge fan of waist level finders/shooting.

Yeah, that's so the rest of the world doesn't need a ladder to see what YOU are shooting... ;)

Was just looking at this pic wondering, what happen if I connect cables to all connectors? When I reach for the handle I have to go thru all cables, pointing out to the right. I saw a wonderful in-between design of Epic with connectors pointing outward and back.

I realize that the remote can be placed anywhere, but a more slimmed design will make so much better when shooting in difficult situation and not just controlled environment.

..and another question, how well do all this parts fit together? Is there a chance it will fall in to pieces if a attach the camera to rough shaking place. I really dislike ripping the handle off the cam when picking it up :)

..and how dust proof is it? Many cams have rubber plugs for sealing open parts and unused connectors.

..and a-bit off topic on the tread, but continue on the dust issue. I noticed a funny thing with the new 18-85 mm lens. If I put my hand on it and zoom back and forth, I can feel the air going in and out the lens. Probable just the glass moving and pushing the air around but can dust enter the lens this way? I have not noticed this with any other lenses that I have using. When we just got the lens here, I looked very closely at the front lens with a powerful led-light and I found the lenses to be perfect. Now a few week with using the 18-85, I can clearly see particle inside the lens. I have seen this before, but then the lenses have been a few yeas old, not weeks. .. but maybe I'm looking TOO close :)

Cheers!
 
Ready to go Steadi...

Ready to go Steadi...

Love the modular concept. :love:

You probably already have this wired but just wanted to mention that it would be great if the intra-module connection design would allow rigging to a steadicam unit where the lens/brain/MB was on top and the batteries/recording media/lcd/io was on the sled (I actually like having the LCD part way up the post, especially viable with the featherweight RED LCDs, kudos BTW). IO could ride on top as well if necessary, just hoping that some sort of multi-pin connector cable could be routed down the post kinda like the Action-Cam unit to reduce cable clutter & total weight.

Also interested in being able to put more of the modules behind my shoulder for HH balance since the brain, lens, EVF and MB kinda have to be out front. I'm sure you are all over this, just getting my 2 cents in. Very excited about the direction the design is going in - flexibility rocks!
 
I have a request Jim... While I KNOW how you love marketing, would you please conside using some sort of emboss technique or a different texture of black for all the trademarks and logos on the camera? A fine example is the ARRI logo on the sunshade of the MB20-II.

I know how you like the name to stand out, but I think it would look a little more professional if we avoided bright white or red colors (Except for small info labled and record button)

Just my two cents.

I wonder if it is possible to come up with better interconnectivity...other than a bunch of cables wrapping around the camera.

I just realized part of the elegance of these renders is...no cables!

It is such a beautiful design, if we could minimize cable clutter we could work better and look better!

If that isn't an option, I'd love to see the renders with cables.

Thanks

I had a similar idea and posted a thread not too long ago:

http://www.reduser.net/forum/showthread.php?t=22605

I've been thinking about different types of Camera Mounting setups (such as Low Hats, Cranes, Helicopter Rigs, etc.) and it occurred to me that building the DSMC modules towards the back might not always be desired.

I propose that RED also offers a 90 degree (Top side or Bottom side) Module Adapter that would allow you to build on the accessory modules vertically (above or below the Brain.)

There would be two Module adapters each shaped like an "L" which would connect on the back of the DSMC and then snugly wrap around either the top or bottom to extend the module connection. (This could possibly be done with one Adapter that flipped upside down, depending on the connection on the back of the Brain.)

What do ya think?

ha ha ha.. get 1000 of your friends together with some burning pitchforks and then we will talk :)

OK, we'll work on that :)

Maybe this has been covered in other threads, but having a better understanding of the Red mount would be helpful. Does it serve as a universal mount similar to the PS + Technik system that you modify or adapt with an intermediary PL, Nikon or Canon lens mount/ring? In which case, I could see how you could build an inexpensive Arri PL LDS intermediate mount as long as the electronic and software support was built into the camera's brain.

If that's the case, then I and the other 1000 LDS owners would be able to stop bugging you ;)

I think I said something similar a few posts earlier...so I'm completely with you.
 
And btw Jim, thanks for listening to all our initial rants and making sense of them...even when they may not have made sense on the surface. (specifically Scarlet S35 and FF35 with interchangeable lens mounts) And here I was thinking you were ignoring us. As a matter of fact, I completely quit contributing to the board because of all the rampant speculations.

Now I can only say one thing: YOU ARE THE FUCKIN' MAN. I just come here and stare at that friggin' product page trying to decide what's going to be first, and who I have to rob to make it happen. :)

RENDERS man...com'on...damn it. We don't have anything else to tide our technophilia over. That or you're going to have me driving to Lake Forest with increasing frequency and bugging you guys for work.
 
Please JIM PUHLEASE. Just a couple more. You've got grown men beggin' for a visual fix...you're like a camera-crack dealer.
 
Audio Question

Audio Question

Haven’t seen this asked yet & don’t see it on any renders

Will the audio module have a:
1. (smart side) manual dial or knob for adjusting audio levels on the fly?
2. backlight audio LCD panel

Also, if I needed 4 channels of audio, would I need to get 2 audio modules or are there plans to offer a 4-channel version?

Thanks

I'd love to see audio knobs, although you wouldn't need a seperate lcd - just put the levels on the main lcd and the controller lcd - knobs on the other hand will be almost a necessity for solo shooting and very handy on other shoots for the sound guy to set up the levels without having to dive into the menus.

Hi Janne,

I'm waiting for my 18-85, can you open a new thread about your experience with the lens and the dust. Do you have tested it good.

thanks Robert:detective2:
