sorry not allowed to transfer. I just called Red.

I am confused by what timecode setup to use. Scarlet w Sound devices 633 Red menu TOD or Edge? What is better and why? 790-0154: 3BNC-to-00 LEMO Sync Cable - is a connected hard wire between the 633 and the red camera the only way? Can I timecode via wireless in any way? Does the 633...

I am going for a light set from Dracast. The question is if I use a bi color 1000 there are only 500 running at any time if I am on one end or the other. Do I need bi color or just get a true 1000 daylight and use a gel to get tungsten? I will have a mixed shooting environment. Some studio and...

Can anyone give me examples of where and when and any opinions on the use of the motion mount. I know outdoors it can save the time with ND filters and can be used as soft or hard global shutter but examples and results ie value, are what I am interested in. Thanks

Any advice on rotational or flex issues with the EF mount while using a follow focus? When changing direction with the follow focus is there a slight rotational movement? If I am on 15 mm rods supporting the camera and lens does it even matter? I have no glass yet and was looking for advice on...

Ok so I am an auto shop owner going through mid life crisis. Instead of a red Corvette I got a Red video camera. I am in the process of dropping 40 k on video equipment. In my business when I spend 40 k on something it makes me money back. I started this so I could take video of squirrels...

Does anyone have any experience with these 2 lenses. I feel the price is pretty close relatively. I dont mind spending a little extra on the cp2 50 2.1 but I am looking for the sharpest picture quality. The Xeen is the 1.5 cinema 50 or set of 3 lenses. The cp2 does not come in a set but I would...

I am slightly confused. A 50 mm FF lens gives the view of a 75 mm at 1.5 crop factor. Given If it is a F2.0 then is it a F3.0 iris also at a 1.5 crop?

Hello, I am new and have a Scarlet w on the way. I have a new iMac 27 inch 5 K monitor with an i7 and 32 gig ram. 2TB hard drive. AMD radeon graphics with 2 gig gddr5. So the question is here I sit with my imac and a red reader with a full card in it. What now. This is just for hobby work...

Hello, I was wondering if anyone has a suggestion for my first lens. I am working on a preorder for the Scarlet W with EF mount and currently dont own any glass. I am looking for just a general all around lens for some indoor and outdoor shooting. It's just a hobby for now but would like to...
