Outside Panavision can I buy or rent a PV mount for my Dragon? Thoughts?

I see that the Epic to Dragon sensor upgrade line closes this week on Wednesday. I would guess they are closing the upgrades to retool and organise a new line for Weapon camera production. Fingers crossed this is the case and I hope to see the first of the cameras rolling out in August.

Red please make the Weapon Start/Stop Protocol an easy industry standard connection. Both the Red One and Epic trigger standard was only ever supported by a small number of manufacturers. I realise the new RF connection will be fantastic for crane or remote work but for handheld rigs and...

Has anyone used the new Zacuto Baseplate? http://www.zacuto.com/vct-baseplate I have never liked most of the solutions as the camera ends up too high on the shoulder and not keen on the elaborate rigs and I want to go from shoulder to tripod in an instant rather than rebuilding everytime...

I am keen to buy a Canon Motion Mount but unsure how it will work with my preferred lenses. Are their any kind souls in Sydney who would either allow me to rent or borrow a mount for a half a day so I can shoot some tests?

I am having trouble playing audio from my Epic Dragon brain SDI output through to my Sony 17" OLED monitor. If I plug the monitor into the SDI on my computer I get audio but not with my camera. I was wondering it might be a hardware issue or a compatibility issue with this monitor. Is anyone...

Now the new Mac Pro has been around a while and I assume Redcine X has had the appropriate code written for it what sort of transcode speeds are people getting? Assuming 6kHD 5:1 footage at Full debayer? Is anyone seeing a speed difference transcoding with Davinci over Redcine X? My initial...

I did a job recently with a first AC who was using the Ultralight Control Systems arm for his onboard camera monitor. I was very impressed as I have seen other arms on countless occasions loosen with the monitor then falling and whacking the camera. I will be buying either a Shogun or Odyssey 7...

Recently had my images on a RedMag go AWOL due to poor post data management and so I attempted to use Red Undead to see if I could find any of the missing footage. What a time waster. Tried multiple attempts on multiple machines, reread the manual over and over and pulled a lot of hair out...

I am sure it is buried here somewhere here on Reduser but I can't find any figures on what sort of speeds to expect from Full Debayer 6K Dragon Transcodes from RCX running on a top line Imac? Realise this is probably a moving target so older results probably not too relevant.

In the latest build I seemed to have lost the ability in Monitor Overlay mode to send an output out via HDSDI that had the full frame image with camera data overlayed in small text. Now I can get a clean image or an image that resembles the viewfinder where the picture image is shrunk down with...

Has anyone purchased and is using the Convergent Design Odyssey7? Would love to hear of peoples experience?

Just a note to say I am a little disappointed with Reds approach to the original Red Rocket compatibility with Dragon footage. I initially thought there was going to be firmware upgrade but Red's position now seems to be that the new RCX with GPU acceleration makes the card somewhat redundant...

Good news that Panavision have modified some of their Primo glass to work specifically with Digital cameras in both PL and PV. As a sign of the times they are not compatible with film cameras. http://cinescopophilia.com/panavision-primo-v-series-lenses/

Is there a way of turning of the Lens Information Display in the EVF? I have a Canon mount with the Canon CN primes and I do need this display permanently over the image. The manual offers no help so a suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

Check out the ACS Vimeo channel http://vimeo.com/austcine for a review of the Redrock MicroRemote Follow focus system. We tested the lenses with Ultraprimes, Zeiss ZF, Nikon zooms and some stiff old Superspeeds.

Selling an original Aaton Walnut handle/grip with 15mm LW bracket. Was part of my Aaton S16 camera kit and have been now using on my Epic for the last year. The LW 15mm bracket makes the handle position easily adjustable and the grip can come off when not in use leaving the bracket in place for...

I have a Macbook Pro Retina 15" with HDMI and thunderbolt. Can I get the graded image out on the HDMI port? I can do it with RedcineX but can't work out how using Resolve 9

Has anyone used the new Double Data Software that replaces R3D Data Manager? I am downloading a trial version as I write. Apparently it addresses some of the copy speed issues of the original?

Is there a way of reordering clips in the timeline apart from manually moving them. Often shoot swapping out drives for backup but then they go back into the camera without erasing unless we run out of space. Redcine X Timeline is then out of order. Can clips be ordered by timecode?
