OK, someone help me here. I think the RED GUNNER is the sexiest camera/rig I've ever seen. Reminds me of the hi-end Super 8 cameras that I lusted after as a younger man. By the time I could afford a Canon 1014-XLS, they stopped making them!

Anyway, back to my question. On the Gunner I assume it's a shoulder pad right under the viewfinder. So how does one place that on a shoulder and look through the viewfinder at the same time? I know the viewfinder flips up, but does it flip sideways too? Or, would you need to stick an LCD on it?

My first look at this created the same question. If you look in some of the other renders you will see that the EVF is on an arm folded below it. That arm will allow the viewfinder to angle up and toward the lens by a significant amount. Or, as Jim says, you can put it somewhere else.
 
Pocket Wizard

Pocket Wizard

Hi Jarred,

The shoe mount you were talking about last night for mounting a shotgun on a Epic body... it don't look like a "hot" shoe solution to me :) , so... how am I going to use my pocket wizards with a DSMC setup to trigger my Profoto strobes?

now, if you tell me that you've got software on the redmote that can make the radio work with pocket wizard (or profoto's new system, or whatever), I'll be seriously impressed. Or rather... even more impressed. if that's possible.

As to the EVF placement: Think tinker toys.

If you want to use your Pocket Wizard there is a X-Sync socket on the side handle that you can use a PC1 cable to go from X-sync to the side port on your Pocket Wizard ( and put the Pocket Wizard anywhere )

I'm very pleased to hear the lens for the fixed 2/3 Scarlet is finished. I was certain that the lens itself would delay the release. Good news, good news!

Looking forward to the good news on Nov 30th. Client has multiple projects and need to get the Scarlet soon. Holding out, but tough with the 5D and 7D available now, but, holding out nonetheless.

Would this still allow for TTL?
 
Confusion regarding Stage 2 and 3. Not a complaint, seeking clarification. thanks!

Why are you , well for lack of a better word, penalizing early adopters if they chose FULL TRADE-IN? i.e Stage 3.

Do they really have to wait for all 7000+ RED ONE owners to make a decision about Stage 2 BEFORE they get the full price trade -in? I.e effectively losing their place in line

Im not speaking for myself either Jim, Jarred, Graeme, Deanan, et al... Ill be tattoo (if the kit gets that far) because we can test the hell out of it with how busy we are...

or if no Tattoo, then definitely Stage 2 because we LOVE our Red One and its an affordable way to have 2 Cameras, both eventually which will have an M-X sensor... WE LOVE LOVE OPTION 2, thanks!

BUT Stage 3 seems like a raw deal to early adopters, who are afraid to say it for fear of being banned...or put on the C List... etc... so Ill take the fire I guess.

WHy cant they just take Option 3 at same time as Option 2? i.e whether you choose to keep it or trade it, you dont lose your place in line? That seems the most fair. Even if it meant they get their EPIC before me.... because, well, they bought earlier than we did.

I assume you do not want the hassle of the all those trades, so is Stage 3 to discourage the full price trade in? $.

I hope I have asked these questions in a respectable manner, because they are intended that way... and there are rumblings offline you guys should be aware of.
Because I know you DO care.

Just curious why Stage 3 early adopters, just because they cant afford to keep their RED ONE... (For many, its just about resources)..., lose their place in line to those willing to ( or moreso who can AFFORD TO keep their RED ONE. )

May I suggest you combine Stage 2 and 3? Make it a "Keep it or Trade it" option without compromising peoples places in line... ? That just seems a lot more fair to people who bought cameras before me. (We jumped the line and paid the transfer fees specifically to upgrade to EPIC early) so we are VERY happy.

Many of my RED friends, with less resources, are not happy. Cool? Cool.

thanks thats huge....also first direct response from the red team to one of my questions

love this company

heh heh sorry Peter.. didn't mean to make you feel left out :)

You have anymore questions?

hey Red team, I was wondering if we know now that the scarlet wont come out in 09 or is that still a remote possibility?
Click to expand...

Lol I think we all wanted to ask this question. Your just the only one with the Balls to do it.
I would say "regretfully no", but i'm not from RED. I cant wait to see if They have an answer:emote_popcorn:
 
I'm excited for the Red Station. Already built my own solution for CF cards, but the Station seems like a great option (and one more piece of kit for rental:coolgleamA:). I love a company that listens to customers.

Also, would some sort of hardware accelerated checksumming be possible? I'm not sure if this even makes sense on a hardware level but a DIT can have dreams right? Imagine if the Red Station could checksum transfers and then verify a clip as a useable/valid R3D. Probably complicating the product more than it needs but an SDK so it could interact directly with R3D data manager would be sweet. Easily swappable (or redundant) power supplies would be great too.

I'm excited about this because Red is considering and accommodating the entire data pipeline.

Cheers,

Dont worry there is a new accessory for that , and there are bolt locations for you so you can still use your old cradle if you wanted to.

Are you saying that there will be an option for top rails?

You are looking at it wrong Tim.. It has nothing to do with punishing early adopters.

Epic-X customers that want to trade in for full value with R1 do not loose their place in line.. that works just like we always said it would. The only difference is that there are 2 stages before that 3rd Stage. The 1st Stage obviously needs to come first before stage 2 or 3.. and Stage 2 is has multiple advantages in coming before Stage 3... it wouldn't make much sense to do that backwards.

Remember, those Stage 2 people are early adopters as well.. it really has nothing to do with what your place is in line.

Try and remember the generosity of the trade-in program when you start talking (or thinking) that we are punishing people..

Instead you release it to a few hundred camera geeks to test because they bought a Red? Annoying.
Click to expand...

Those geeks know an awful lot about RED cameras because they've used a RED ONE for nearly two years now, and they went through all the growing pains of testing the camera as it evolved.

Now that they are quite experienced at it, they are going to go through all the growing pains of testing another new camera and reporting back to RED, so that when you buy yours, all the little bugs will already have been worked out, and some pretty nifty features that could only be dreamt up during real-world use of the camera can be added.

You should be thanking them.
 
x-sync

x-sync

Ah, that makes sense on the side handle. Am I seeing it in the MONSTER render on the back of the side handle near the bottom left? silver/gold with red stripe?

That's a very different place to have a cable running, so It'll be interesting. I suppose I can easily run the sync cord along the side of the brain up to where I mount the wizard. (unless I put a monitor up there of course and mount the wizard, well, wherever I want I guess).

Thanks for the info!
