Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)
In the market for a LED light kit to replace my Hexolux. Would like to get a consensus on what you guys feel is the best of this:
1. High CRI - no weird color spikes
2. Color Mixing a plus
3. Profoto light modifier front diameter a plus
4. Portable / battery option
5. High output
6. Weatherproof...
This will be where I post footage from my amazing Gemini for all to see the incredible range of use in this brilliant product ;-)
My tests will mostly be HFR since that is why I purchased the Gemini. There's lots to look at out there for cameras which produce nice images at 24fps - the field...
So I'm in the queue for the Dragon to Gemini upgrade (which is awesome btw) and am trying to figure out the best kit to purchase to complete it. The mission will be shooting in remote locations where size and weight are of primary importance. Function over fashion is the driving force here - you...
Anyone out there (who doesn't have a relationship with DJI in any form) buy any of these an have professional experience with it? Cool looking gear but I've been consistently burned by DJI 1st Gen products. Seems all the reviews on YT were facilitated by DJI via "first look" gear loans or just...
What are the options out there to use, let's say, a Nikon mount Otus lens on a Weapon 8K body? Or a Canon lens. Got a bit of a collection of both that would be cool to use on the Weapon while picking up some extra T stop photons.
Looked at the Metabones site and nothing jumped out. Looks to be...

It occurred to be how time flies. Use to be that owning a RED camera set you apart from the skater kids giving you a competitive advantage in commercial work. Well now the kids have 8K RED's and 5M YouTube Subscribers...
Don't have my cam in front of me and was asked a question about doing long exposures on a Dragon - like 2 minutes or so. Can this be done, how, and are their issues with hot pixels etc?
Was stoked to see that Phil has taken delivery on the first 8K Weapon. I want to rent this cam for several projects coming up early fall so Phil says “sure . . . hit me up”.
My initial rush of thinking about all the cool possibilities was then followed by a personal reality check as I look...
Or whatever you want to call it. I have 2 whole TB ports out of my iMac and 4+ TB gear bits that need to plug in. What's the best hub for this? Lot's of USB hubs out there - not so many TB
So I'm getting the complete Tangent Element board bundle delivered early next week and was wondering what all I should know to maximize productivity and personal joy. I'm using DVR 12.5 on a Mac.
Just wrapped up an underwater film project where we were forced to shoot some H.264 out of an A7s. Makes you love R3D's more. How cool would an 8K Weapon be underwater :-)
On this project we must grade the footage before the edit since lighting and white balance, and therefore results, is...
What's the best way to prevent Vimeo from crushing a file into blocky mush? I'm doing all 4K Editing and Color work within DVR 12.5.3 Studio and want to upload a pristine 1080P file. Is the best quality workflow: DVR Export ProRes HQ - Import into AME - AME Export H.264 1080P?
Any help on...
Just a thread of ideas that RU's have that seem novel but we don't have the time and resources to create and manufacturer. If these ideas exist in product form then please post links to them.
1. X5R size RAW camera / gimbal in a pro dive housing. Could also include Subject of Interest tracking...
Merry Christmas Fellow Red Users,
I would like to donate my 2 RED Dragons (Mono and Color) and related gear to a registered non-profit that is non-commercial and non-religious in nature. The organization would have to have a track record of bringing needed to be told stories about...
