    Audio Preamp Configuration - Sonosax M2D2

    Hello, I've been playing around to find a way to put a small audio preamp on the Weapon. It's actually the new M2D2 from Sonosax. It's a dual channel preamp, so I configured my Weapon with a CCM41 and a CCM8 Schoeps in a MS configuration with the Cinela OSIX mount and Leo windshield. Sound...

    Hello, I've a problem with the file naming of the camera recorded files (r3d or others). I've done two presets (one slow motion and another one standard speed) that I've assigned to the soft keys on the Red LCD. When I format the card, I put the card number as U002 (for this example) then...

    Sigma Art AF & RTMotion control

    Hello, I wanted to try the Sigma Art autofocus control through the RTmotion sidekick control and here are my thoughts on my Weapon MG. I've tested the 50mm and the 14mm AF. - The motor of the lens are too loud for sound recording, you can hear the focus click noise on this sample shot with...

    Peaking on RED EVF / LCD ?

    Hello, Is there any possibility to have a real peaking that we can set to a color and intensity like for other EVFs? I can only see EDGE wich is unusable to frame and FOCUS wich enhances the sharpening of the whole picture and therefore makes it unusable to see what is out of focus... I'm...

    FW7.0.1 - RAW view clips before RG3 view

    Hello I've decided to install FW 7.0.1 coming from 6.3.102. Loosing the Voltage from WC plate is a PITA... but now I find out that they also changed the way we monitor the picture. Usually if shooting at 1600 iso when you clipped the highlights you had some more headroom in the RAW view...

    Any plan for MONSTRO for S35 ?

    Will there be a Monstro sensor in S35mm size? As an Weapon Magnesium owner and a low budget film maker I don't need an 80k VV camera but could make good use from Monstros S35 upgrade. Magnesium could perhaps have enough horse power to handle those 6k? Pat

    Hello, I'm working with RTmotion (or Foolcontrol) and would like to know if all the Sigma Art lenses (including the zooms) are supported on the Weapon body to control focus and Iris?
