Which is also in line with what I've said; that I think it's more likely that Red won't do any further cameras and that Nikon will develop their own cinema camera based on Red tech. Essentially, Red may still continue as support for the current lineup, but all R&D is being transfered over to...

Main thing I go by is to try and decode the intentions of this acquisition, beyond marketing press releases and whatever is written about it and pierce through the biases that exist. Essentially, if I were the head of Nikon, what, in my most selfish perspective will I gain from this acquisition...

That's not for certain, it makes as much sense that they infuse their own brand of Nikon cinema cameras, with their own design and target group, to have most of the acquired tech from Red in them. There's nothing that conclusively hints at them letting Red go on as if nothing has happened...

What information are you seeing outside of carefully put together copy in press releases? Many of us have been with Red since it was just a rudimentary 3D render of some building block and a sensor strapped to a computer by some newcomers no one believed in. The reason for the reactions is...

Because of the lawsuit. There's no other explanation for Nikon being the one acquiring Red. Canon would have made much more sense seen as how they've integrated the RF mount and such. But Nikon, a company who's been struggling for years to stay relevant even in their own still photography...

But that's what I meant, that's a minority stake, not a total takeover. Hasselblad is also such a quality brand that it would be suicide to dismantle it in any way. DJI need them to keep doing what they're doing while they take advantage of some of the patents. This, however, is a total...

Well, this feels like a "told you so" moment as I've said numerous times that the competition of lower cost cameras will start to eat up the reasons to buy into the expensive lineup of Red cameras. Maybe "The Creator" was the final straw, showing how an IMAX movie can actually be filmed on a...

After updating the Komodo to 1.7.5 I wanted to try using Gyroflow to stabilize some footage but it just prompts me a message that says it couldn't find any motion data. Where can I spot that the metadata actually is in the file? I can't find any indication of gyro in the metadata when checking...

So due to the pandemic there has been much slower work with actual productions shooting for me. Because of that most of my productions have been digital or featured a lot of animation and stuff so the camera hasn't been used for around three months now. But now I'm gonna shoot a few things and...

So this dropped... While I'm excited to see one of my favourite franchises ever come back. Why is it so saturated? Feels so pushed to the limit of being pleasant looking sometimes? EDIT: Seems that many people just read the headline and don't dive into the details of the discussion here...

Now that Raptor has been released and we also got the DSMC3 RED TOUCH 7.0" I want to raise the question about a Red dedicated Komodo monitor. The new monitor doesn't work on Komodo and I also think it's too big for the smaller form factor. If Red, by any chance, is still reading this part of...

Just bought a cheap M42 adapter to use some old Yachica still lenses that were gathering dust in order to get some nice vintage bokeh for scenes that require some heavy "character". Problem is that I'm using a focal reducer on my Komodo and I can only focus up to infinity, but not infinity or...

Waiting for more solutions to monitoring questions due to the high risk of using the built-in SDI, I'm trying to optimize using Komodo Link. Problem is that the performance of the video feed is very underwhelming. I've updated to the latest firmware of both the Komodo and Red Control, but...

I've seen a lot of people having problems with their SDI ports. Personally, I've yet to use the one on mine but plan on getting a monitor to use in a setup like everyone else. But all of these issues make me wonder what is going on? I'm not talking about people using unshielded 3G cables going...

So I'm looking for a set of at least two really good LED lights. I rarely use hard lights and if I do I use practicals for that, but I really need at least two lights for softer key light and background lighting that are bi-color and have enough output for most indoor situations. They also need...
