I need a Mini mag shell. Just the metal body (and the 4 screws). Let me take your broken/non-functional mini mag off your hands for whatever you think it’s worth. Thanks! If you are curious, I did the Longtake 2TB upgrade from regular board to USB board, and now I have a fully functional...

Hi Red fam, I am making a reference set of content for Facebook to give to encode vendors (for encoding shoot outs). I am taking my gorgeous Red log footage into Premiere, applying the extremely helpful IPP2 luts, cleaning up my grade and rendering to Rec2020 target. How can I ensure that all...

I don’t know if this was widely promoted, but B&H now has an upgrade option for every single old Red camera. You can get $5000 off Gemini or Helium, pretty much regardless of the model you trade in. I am finally happy! Https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/promotion/14086/red-trade-in.html P.S. This...

Appears to be a $10K price drop on Helium at B&H. It’s now the same price as Gemini. So which is the better deal?

I’m considering the new upgrade pricing (to go from Scarlet-W to Gemini) and I saw this note on the upgrade page: The GEMINI 5K S35 TRADE-IN FOR SCARLET-W RED DRAGON increases your shooting potential and upgrades your SCARLET-W to the RED’s DSMC2 CAMERA BRAIN. My Scarlet-W takes the new...

I love my Scarlet-W and Scarlet-MX cameras, but I feel that the budget for a move up (to Helium or Monstro) would be better spent on a Alexa Mini. When I read news like this (below) it reinforces that concern. The article shows every single camera used on every single Oscar nominated film, and...

See some phenomenal results (from Scarlet W) in Premiere with the new IPP2 LUTs, here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6ve46AG2M8 How did I get this pipeline working? With help from the great Red community! Below is the original thread that includes all the tips and tricks...

I wanted to start on thread on the minimally viable feature set you'd like to see in the Hydrogen phone. My hope is you can provide valuable feedback for the Hydrogen PM (e.g. suggest something that can be achieved by Q1 2018). Here is my ask: Having working on the lenticular Fire 3D phone, I...

Hi, I run the live events on Twitter.com and I'm trying to put together a workflow where our Scarlet-W sends SDI out to a LiveStream switcher. Can the Scarlet-W's SDI output be "dumbed down" to standard, old school SD-SDI (1080 over SD-SDI) so the LiveStream Studio HD51 (HD version) can receive...

We just received our Raven, it's an awesome little camera, but it arrived with dead pixels. We thought, let's clean the sensor just in case it's a dust problem, and found a thin glass screen about an inch in front of the sensor. This thin glass screen was relatively dirty (for a brand new...
