This was not easy to write, Ever since I discovered the following issue on my camera a few days ago, I've been debating as to whether or not I should post here since my thoughts on the problem I'm about to describe will rub several people here the wrong way, alas, I have to get this out there...

Hi folks, I am looking for a DSMC Top Fan 2.0 for an Epic Dragon, again, just the dual top fan module, don't need the front one. Does anyone have one for sale? Send me a PM if you do! Aris

Does Media Composer support the IPP2 pipeline? I'm brand new to it, running the latest AMA RED Plugin (Version 1.19.21.10112), but in the "Source Settings" of the R3D there aren't any options for choosing a legacy or IPP2 pipeline, nor any for contrast and roll-off. Has IPP2 not been fully...

Hello everyone, I just started learning Media Composer, I'm still at the earliest stages of figuring out the interface and how everything works but I'm having a serious issue with the most essential operation - linking/importing media, specifically R3D's since it's the only type of material I...

Located in Athens, Greece, I have the following EPIC Dragon kit I'm considering selling, ideally locally, so if you are located in Greece or know someone who is and is interested, do let them know, or within the EU and UK. The camera was purchased in late 2015 and has only been used for personal...

Hello everyone, I'm seriously considering getting the brand new 2018 MacBook Pro 15" for editing and coloring an upcoming short I'm shooting on Dragon, sole purpose for the decision being the display, which based on measurements I've seen does indeed produce the full DCI-P3 gamut with...

Hello everyone, I'm on the market for some ND filters for my Epic Dragon, I've done a fair amount of research and I'm between Tiffen's NATural ND's and Schneider's RHOdium FSND's. To me both look fantastic in terms of color neutrality from various tests I've seen but I'm looking for some...

Hello everyone, Occasionally my Epic Dragon shows a stuck pixel or two in different places each time, the way I notice is with the sensor cap on, I crank the ISO to 3200 and hit Focus Check and they show as static white spots, which are thankfully cleared after a new blackshade, sometimes two...

Hello everyone, I'm planning on building a workstation, probably around spring of next year, capable of playing back 6K r3d's from my Epic Dragon in full resolution and in real time and beyond , even when adding something like Lumetri Color in Premiere for example. To my knowledge r3d's are by...

Hello everyone, A little while back I purchased what seemed to be a really nice copy of a Leica Elmarit - R 24mm f/2.8 lens, but I never got a chance to test it out until recently and I discovered a major optical problem. The entire right side of the lens, I'd say approximately the right 1/4 of...

I just started watching the 5th season of House of Cards, and one of the first things I noticed is that the overall color is slightly different, especially the skintones, they look better than in previous seasons. Have they switched from Epic Dragon to another camera? Perhaps Weapon Dragon or...

Hi everyone, I'm selling an 82mm Tiffen IRND 0.6 filter. This is the waterwhite glass (WTR/WHT) version, it's in Excellent ++++ condition, the metal ring shows some minor signs of use, but the glass has no scratches or dents. It comes in a protective Tiffen pouch. I'm selling it because for most...

Alright everyone, it's time for a reality check. Dynamic range has always been a topic of great dispute when it comes to Red's sensors, particularly the latest ones, though I'm mainly focusing on Dragon here. This is a still from an R3D Erich Roland uploaded on Dropbox a while back. It's a Xyla...

Hello everyone, I seem to be having some issues with balancing my image with the color checker during an IPP2 workflow. I'm working with Epic Dragon footage in Resolve 14. I set it to RedWideGamutRGB and Log3G10 and then apply the IPP2 LUT of my choice, usually I go with HIGH_CONTRAST_Rolloff_4...

First things first, I know the Alexa uses a different lemo cable than the Epic does since I shoot with both systems. I'm currently involved in a graduation film at my university where as opposed to the available Alexa kit, the DP will be shooting on my own Dragon but since I don't own an OLED...
