Well a week or two ago I flew into Honolulu from LAX with United. Checked two bags. Only one made it to the carousel. The missing bag definitely arrived in Honolulu - it was scanned all the way there, and coming off the plane - but I never saw it again. United have had over a week to track &...

I've been cruising along with my old Mac Pro at the core of my setup for a long time now. It's going flaky and is on its last legs. I haven't been keeping up with recent tests and developments, so I'm going to be cheeky and lazy enough to ask someone to save me a bunch of reading :-) and help me...

I cut & paste below a support ticket I filed with RDC recently. Has anyone seen anything similar to these issues? How is 5.2.28 working for folks? Latest response from RDC is that there's nothing in the log file, it seems to be a firmware issue, they're working on it, and try downgrading the...

Does anyone know a good specialist store in LA (not Fry's or Best Buy) where I can grab an unlocked/international version cellphone this afternoon? Thanks Mike

Needa decent set of sticks cheap for 3/4 days, immediately. Philly area. Doesn't need to be anything as heavy as a 2065, something like an O'Connor 515 or similar is fine. Even a decent stills tripod would do; I can shoot locked-off. PM with phone number ASAP! Thanks Mike

Playing with my current setup. Mac Pro with DVI screen (not optimal i know, but my best calibrated monitor), second screen is an iMac 27" in target display mode. Obviously I want to have video on my best screen, and use the the iMac for tools. But RCX seems to only offer me the option to...

Title says it all. Maybe spring for Pro I/O if the price is keen. PM me. Mike

The loneliness of the extreme cinematographer... watch this space :-) Mike

See title. 2 x 512GB mags needed for a 4 week shoot, mid Jan to early Feb. Thanks Mike

I just opened a ticket with tech support. I post it verbatim below. Am I right in what I'm reading? "A beta is a beta forever"? or am I missing something? From the website: "BETA – v5.1.29: BETA firmware is not recommended for use on commercial productions. You will not be able to roll back...

The gentleman in the title seems to be a long-term guy around Reduser… a couple of month ago he sent me a private message in response to thread about fast teles, we exchanged a few more messages, I agreed to buy two lenses from him - at which point he suddenly went silent, he hasn't responded...

Dunno if it's shot on RED or not… but it was always going to happen. They do tend to be technologically aggressive/early adopters... http://gizmodo.com/4k-porn-is-here-and-shows-you-every-single-detail-1446534021 Mike

Title says it all. Long shot, but if anyone is interested please PM. Mike

There's the MP 150mm T1.3 A long shot, but… anyone know anything comparable or even faster in the 150-200mm focal length range? I've been scratching my head and can't come up with anything. Doesn't matter how rare or exotic so long as I can rent it, somewhere. There were some suggestions in...

My first thread has a slightly misleading title; this title is clearer. I'm mostly interested in the original FD lens. Optex did a PL (sometimes B4) mount conversion. I'd consider one of those too. I need this ASAP. Mike

First, an aside: I actually ran across this issue on location in Japan 3 weeks ago. I put in a call to RED after hours support, since it was a 'right here, right now' kinda situation… left a message… and never got a call back. Never heard a damn thing. This is only the second time I've had to...

Title says it all. Interested in both the original lens in FD mount, or the Optex conversion, preferably in PL. If you don't have one yourself, but know someone who does, or have a lead, please get in touch. Thanks Mike

West Coast or East Coast, cash waiting, will buy in person. Need to deal by this weekend unless there's a last minute change of plans! Mike

If you think you have troubles on set... Mike (not me, but been close!)

First, the thing is a revelation! If you haven't graded with a dedicated control panel, try it; you won't go back! 1. Is there any way to assign a trackball for cursor control in RCX? I can't find one... 2. Jog plays up; randomly, at times, I can only jog backwards, not forwards. Am I being...
