Great Condition, maintained well. Works fine with no issues. The only reason I am selling is because I bought a RED Gemini and have not used this Raven very much since then. Includes V-Lock I/O Expander (valued at $1900) Media Bay Canon Mount Asking $6000 USD total. Will not sell separately...

Anybody upgraded to the newest beta firmware? Any issues? I want to, but I have a shoot in a few days and I'm scared lol

Has anybody tried out this PL mount from Tilta? Thoughts? It's only $500. Price sounds great compared to RED's version of the mount, but I wonder how the build quality is. https://tilta.com/shop/tilta-ti-pl-mount-for-red-dsmc2/

I'm in the market to either get a Scarlet-w or gemini. It's to my understanding that a Gemini is basically a scarlet-w with the added super great low light capabilities. The only other thing I see is that Gemini can do 75 and 96 fps at 5k where in the scarlet-w you have to drop down to 4k for...

I remember on one of the previous updates, scratch audio for Varispeed footage was supposed to be included in the firmware but it never became available. I shoot music videos 90% of the time and this feature would be a god-send in saving time. Usually 25-50% of the music video footage is shot in...

I've been using my Raven and 7inch touch screen flawlessly for over a year now. Recently, my top LCD has given me an unresponsive glitchy screen when it is at 60 hz. When I change to 30 hz it works ok with a little flicker. The Side LCD port works fine at 60hz and 30hz when I connect the same...

Atlanta - RED Dragon (Raven) DP, Ronin & Ready Rig, Steadicam, Crane & More - ATL I'm an award winning Director/DP/Operator based out of Atlanta. I own a RED Dragon camera (Raven), Steadicam, 18 ft. Crane, Ronin, a grip truck full of professional lighting (Kino Flos etc.) & more. I have...

Hey guys, so my goal is to shoot 4.5k (which I think is 2:1) and export to 4k in 16:9 ratio. I know I can add frame guide lines to my monitor display to see the constraints of 16:9 but I want to take it a step farther and black out the areas to the left and right outside the 16:9 frame. OR maybe...

WAY TOO HIGH! I was excited to see they finally announced the price for Ronin 2, but 7 grand!? Naw bro. Ronin 1 was so successful because it was competitively priced against the Movi. I was ready to buy Ronin 2 but not for 7 grand, which is more than the Movi pro. I dont care that it holds a...

I've had a couple times on set recently with my Raven where my T for temperature (where you look for T/E) is red and the camera itself becomes extremely slow in responding to the commands and buttons I press on the camera. During these episodes, I usually power the camera down and then back up...

Very interesting. They just released a "compact" line that will fit the dimensions for the Raven. 130wh for $270 is not bad. (I currently have a switronix hypercore slim 82wh for $260) I noticed number 1 on the battery says "Reccomend for use with farseeing chargers" what does that mean? Anyone...

I've read the forums, watched tutorials etc. but I still dont have a 100% firm understanding on some black shading issues and questions I have regarding the process. Some of the video tutorials out there are for DSMC1 bodies and don't detail the new processes for DSMC2 and autoblackshading. So...

"Allure" - Screens/Video 1st Raven shoot! high fashion beauty. Thoughts on noise. A few days ago, I did my first "real" test on my Raven with a victoria secret-esque beauty shoot as a personal project. Though I'm a director, I also wanted to showcase my DP abilities for hire as well as the...

I'm a new RED Owner with the Raven that I saved up for several years to buy. Obviously I want to protect my investment. I have production insurance but I want to take it even further and attach some type of tracking device to/inside the brain and/or cases so I can know where my camera/equipment...
