I've only shot with my Helium a few times so far, but each time I have tried to rate it at about 1280 or 1600 to get better highlight rolloff. However, according to Phil Holland's test, if you really want to take advantage of all the dynamic range the sensor has to offer, it seems that you...

I don't have the camera on me this week, but I have a DP asking me: Can you shoot 4K ProRes when the project is set to 2x Anamorphic format? Based on the Operator's Manual, I'm guessing the answer is yes, since you're really just setting the capture format to 8K 6:5, and then the anamorphic...

Hey guys! What are your thoughts on using IRND's with the Helium sensor? I know with Dragon it was recommended to use standard ND filters to avoid cast. Is Helium the same? I have a full set of Tiffen IRND's. Would be a shame to have to get a new set (especially eyeing those Firecrests at $3K)...

I tried finding an answer on these forums but couldn't get anything concrete. Is it true that flying with a digital camera will fry pixels in the sensor? Wondering because I may have to take my new Epic-W for a plane ride...

We're all eager to see the new Helium color science. My question is, could it have any effect on the dynamic range? In RCX it seems that the color science is completely independent of the gamma; so can we expect what we're seeing in terms of DR on the Helium to remain the same?

Buying one of the new systems. Need: DSMC2 7" touch EF mount 512GB mini mags Top Handle Wooden Camera EasyRiser and/or 15mm rod bracket hit me up!

Hey all! I'm planning to upgrade my Scarlet-W order to an Epic-W, but I've never done an upgrade through Red before. People are talking about staying up until midnight on the 11th to do the upgrade, but I'm wondering what that even involves. Will there be a purchase option on the Red store, and...

Hey all! I'm interested in putting together a thorough comparison between a Helium and Dragon Weapon, as well as an Alexa Mini. I'm new to Los Angeles and don't know anyone with a Weapon of either variety. I do have a friend with a Mini. Is there anyone who would be interested in lending a...

Used, but works great as ever! I'm moving to a different system; so I won't need it anymore.

PRICE DROP! $8750 for everything. Hey guys! I'm selling my Red Scarlet MX, as I'm moving onto bigger and better things. I haven't had any issues with the camera. It's performed like a champ. Scarlet MX Brain + Side SSD Titanium EF mount Titanium PL mount 4x 64GB Redmags + case Red Touch 5" LCD...

I was able to test the Raven against my Scarlet-MX this afternoon, and I hope to post the results later this week, but in the meantime here is something that has bothered me since I saw it first, and the response to the issue has bothered me even more. Every time someone brings up the issue of...

Hey Guys, I've chosen a name that I really like for my production company. I think it fits my personality; it fits my approach; it's catchy; and I think it's very brand-able. But there's a hitch. Another company has a very similar name; they do video game documentaries and have a YouTube...

Hey all! I found a Sachtler DV6-SB head+tripod for $800. It seems like a really good price for a Sachtler in that category, but I can't find much info about the head. Is it sturdy enough to support a Scarlet-X or Raven?

I've been operating for a few years as a sole proprietor, but things are getting to the point where I really need to register as an LLC to gain some legal protection as well as open a business banking account. I will be the sole owner of the LLC and don't plan on hiring any employees. Should I...

Man. That red dot pattern at 1:32 is killing me. https://vimeo.com/166824800

I'm cutting a project I shot last weekend, and I noticed in one of the shots there is a single frame with weird artifacts. At first I thought it might have been an issue with the preview file, but it shows up on export as well. Any ideas? Watch at the link...

One of the big reasons I ordered a Raven is because I really hate black shading. I was under the misconception that the DSMC2 bodies can do a sort of auto calibration based on your exposure time and working temperature. I've just realized now (after some research) that this is not the case...

Hi! I've started doing tests and comparisons with a YouTube channel called The Slanted Lens. The host and I are interested in doing a head-to-head comparison between the Red Raven and the Sony FS7. I know they're very different cameras, but I know a few people who are looking at them both and...

Just saw the following quote on the FB page for a retailer called Image One: "Waiting on your RED Scarlet-W or Raven pre-order from Red.com? Switch the order over to us and cut your waiting time off... RED has just told us that they will be allocating all of the first few batches of camera's to...

Hi Guys! Here is the comparison and review that I did with my friend Jay P Morgan who hosts The Slanted Lens channel on YouTube. As stated at the beginning of the video, we did run into a speed bump :\ The EF mount lens we used on the Ursa Mini was not mechanically sound (unknown to us at the...
