    Scarlet W ultra low light clips

    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...

    Final Questions Before Downpayment

    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...

    Cooke Speed Panchro Buying Guide

    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...

    Gold Mount Battery Charger Compatibility

    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...

    [WANT TO RENT] Looking for RED FOCUS to adjust back focus on my Red Scarlet - LOS ANGELES

    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! Kenneth

    Wooden Camera battery plate without expander module?

    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?

    Curved sensor

    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...

    How to shoot yourself in the foot (and kill the market too)

    I was trying to figure out a fair rate to rent my Scarlet MX for a few days. Ran across this: It's no wonder the market for Red cameras is tanking.

    Dragon Sensor Issues on the DSMC2 bodies?

    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...

    Budget underwater cinematography to cut with Red

    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...

    Mystery Tripod?

    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?

    Arri MMB-1 doesn't align with lenses

    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...

    Into the Badlands

    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?

    Zeiss ZE compatible or not???

    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...
