A B&H staff member lists Komodo's power draw as 45 watts (in the Q&A section). My understanding of the power draw calculation is: (watt hours) / (run time in hours) = watts. Phil Holland's battery FAQ suggests we should get 2.2 hours runtime from a BP-975, which is roughly 54 watt hours. By my...

Selling a PC in a portable, convenient chassis. It's a great setup for studio work or in the field as a compact DIT machine. Trying something a little different-- I'll upgrade any component you want, if it's compatible. The ebay listing has a few examples and the associated costs, but if you...

I'm having a hard time finding definitive info on internal mics. Can anyone confirm the following for me? RED ONE - No RED Scarlet MX - No RED Scarlet Dragon - No RED Scarlet-W - Yes RED Epic MX - No RED Epic Dragon - No RED Epic-W - Yes RED Weapon Dragon - Yes RED Weapon Helium - Yes RED Raven...

The website specs and ops manual claim that the Scarlet-W goes up to 300fps. However, the Epic manual also lists 300p as the max when we know it goes up to 400p (albeit at 1K WS). Does anyone know if the Scarlet-W also goes up to 400? Since it's also the Dragon sensor?

Hey all! I've posted on the forum a few times before but wanted to introduce myself and an app I made: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/id890528993 Backstory: I'm a shooter/colorist in NYC, and in my earlier days I spent a lot of time trying to figure out what all my options were in shooting...

I've been researching native ISO for Red cameras. There's some conflicting information out there, but it seems like 400-2000 is the officially recommend range for the M-X and Dragon (documented here: http://www.red.com/learn/red-101/iso-speed-revisited). But I haven't found any official numbers...

Trying to understand the best way to describe sensitivity in digital cameras. We describe dynamic range with a simple number, but is there an equivalent for how well a camera performs in low-light? Most people seem satisfied to just understand that the F55 is good and the Blackmagic is bad, but...
