Hey guys Im trying to figure something out. I bought a brand new 6D MKii for time-lapse and I noticed that I was getting a crap ton of dead white, red and blue pixels all over my images when doing star shoots. I sent It in to get repaired and they said it was an alignment with the senso so I got...

Hey so I have a weapon helium and I’m filming insects this week. Problem with filming bugs on the floor with red is the lens rests so high off the ground. In fact, it’s about as high as 2 a7sii’s stacked on top of eachother. I’ve been using the a7sii specifically because I can put the lens on...

Hey guys I have a client who wants to have my dailies archived on one big reel. So, instead of A005_C004.R3D as the name, they want it to be renamed A001_C001. They want to basically pull up the footage in an editor and have every shot be in order corresponding to the final sequence. Is there a...

Hey guys, After upgrading to the Weapon Helium, I noticed my Ronin MX can't work with the new camera compared to the Epic Misterium X which was my original setup. (FYI The RONIN MX sucks for RED so don't buy it for any of the cameras. There were too many limitations and it was like walking on...

Hey guys! I recently started using my preferred luts on my Weapon Helium. It's pretty cool you can apply them while filming but the issue is, when I open in Red Cine X or Premiere, the lut is not applied. There is a file associated with the lut in each folder containing each R3D but not really...

Hi guys so I'm trying to figure something out. I sued to have an Epic MX and used to shoot in 4K a lot for the 120 fps as I shoot wildlife. Now I have a Weapon Helium and have any owners noticed images being soft on the Helium at 4K compared to the MX? I know it crops in much more on the helium...

Hi I have recently upgraded to the weapon helium and I don't know what seems to be the issue but when I have pre record on for awhile, the camera will shut off without warning. Like just goes black and I need to start up again. I also have been having mounting issues with my mini mag as well as...

Hi I have the weapon helium and since upgrading to V7.0.0, I noticed all my canon L glass adjusts it's focus every time I turn on the camera or switch the lens. Yes, before you're a smart Alec, I have the AF turned off on the lenses. Never use Auto Focus and my camera's focus settings are...

Hi, I recently upgraded to the Weapon Helium and had kept my original 5.0 Touch monitor since I got it for the original Epic. I notice that when I'm in playback, there seems to be a line running down the center from top to bottom of the image. Almost as if it was a stuck film scratch. I's not...

Hi Guys, I'm using the Weapon Helium recording 2K and 4K pro res LT proxies for fcpx. I noticed in Premiere, you can attach the in camera proxies to the R3D's to cycle between the 8K and 2K files which is pretty cool although I use FCPX for everything. I've been trying to think of ways to do...

Hey guys I hope someone can clear things up for me. I'm shooting a lot of my show on RED but some require an A7S II. I got both the camera and an ATOMOS Ninja Flame. I read all sorts of things about how it increases the sharpness and the quality and how great 10 bit recording is but I've done...

Hey guys so I'm in the process of upgrading my long lens for wildlife work. I specialize in macro and long lens but getting more work in macro at the moment so keep this in mind while reading of course. Being a wildlife Filmmaker, primes are kind of out of the question since you really need to...

Hi so I have a question.... I shoot wildlife and my situation is that I normally film with Canon long lenses like the 500 or 100-400 stuff like that. I really like using Image stabilisation all the time as it helps the steadiness especially in windy moments. The problem is, I'm thinking of...

Hi people. Anyone that owns a RED EPIC know what an ISP Board is? I sent my camera in for matinance and they said the ISP board - PWA / BOM and FRONT ENCLOSURE INSEPARABLE ASSEMBLY needs to be replaced for $3,010!!! Should I be worried or is this one of those technician scams? It just doesn't...

HI everyone, I've been looking to upgrade from my canon 100-400. To start, I shoot wildlife and while 400 is a very nice focal length for animals, Sometimes I feel like I just can't get close enough so that's why I was thinking of getting the Sigma 150-600. Again, I film in the wild so when I...
