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 :)
Just saw this on Vimeo. I've really wanted to pull the trigger on Raven but have hesitated, wondering if it will really be a step up from my Scarlet MX enough to justify $10K. I was especially worried about how it would perform in low light situations. This definitely gives me an idea, and it's...
Hi all! I love the Scarlet X that I purchased last year, but I'm not completely happy with the dynamic range/color and the fact that I have to black shade every time I change frame rates (which are extremely limited). Given that I can get into a Raven package for about $8500, I'm seriously...
It seems more and more frequent that I am blown away by the look of a film, to find later that it was shot on Speed Panchros. It's got me itching to buy a set some day. It used to be they were an affordable alternative to the latest Cookes, but recently prices seem to have skyrocketed (about...
I'm planning to purchase a new set of batteries here in the next couple of weeks, but I am wondering about charger compatibility. I'm hoping to get some SWIT 92 + 92 batteries, but the SWIT 4-channel charger is only sequential I believe. I definitely want a simultaneous charger. Could I...
Hi, I suspect the back focus on my Red Scarlet-X may be off. Does anyone have a Red Focus I can rent this Saturday/Sunday to do adjust that? Or maybe anyone willing to let me pay them to walk me though it? Thanks!

On the Raven product page, it says that an expander module is required to power the Raven. But would it not be possible to attach the new cable-less WC quick back battery module right into the camera?
It seems to me that designing a concave sensor would solve a few of the issues that accompany pushing the boundaries of lens performance. There wouldn't be a vignette for wide lenses at fast apertures (normally due to the angle of incidence of light on the pixels). Corner sharpness would...
It will be a long time before I can afford it, but I am planning to move to a Raven from my Scarlet MX. I am a little hesitant, though, because I've heard about some weird issues that the Dragon sensor has had. The one I'm most worried about is purple fringing from strong backlights. As well as...
Hi guys! I will be shooting a Kickstarter campaign for a friend of mine, and she has very little money to throw around. The project is for women's swimwear, and I'm shooting most of it with my Red Scarlet MX, but she's wondering if it's possible to get some shots of the women in the water, on...
Hey guys! I'm wondering if anyone can identify this tripod. I found it for a pretty good price online; I've heard good things about Millers but can't find any details about this tripod. The listing just says Miller 25 with Aluminum legs. Any ideas?
I have a Red Scarlet with a WC Bottom Plate and 15mm LW bracket, and I'm finding that my Arri MMB-1 doesn't quite stand high enough to perfectly socket the 80mm ends of my lenses.It sits probably 3mm too low, leaking light from the bottom. Has anyone had this experience? Is it an issue with Arri...

I just started watching Into the Badlands, which Shane Hurlbut shot on the Red Epic Dragon and Weapon, and I am seeing clipped highlights all over the place. As I consider investing in a Raven, it definitely makes me reconsider. Any thoughts?
Hi, I'm a new Scarlet MX owner, and I'm about to invest in some Zeiss ZE glass. In my opinion, it's the best glass you can get before jumping to real cine lenses. I'm not interested in the ZF Nikon versions because I can't abide the backward focus--so don't even think about it ;)
Basically I...
