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 :)
So I ordered the upgrade scarlet dragon to Epic-W in December. I sold my EPIC Dragon and ordered the DSMC2 I/O Vmount expander, as well as the XL DSMC2 module. The modules are here. I have called RED but they said they can't tell me when the upgrades will be ready so I am curious if anyone has...
Just wondering as I want to know if I should get a base expander to go with the XL module so that I can have the option to record audio. Not sure if the XL module will Connect to the base expander or not. If it doesn't then I'm just going to get the I/O V-lock expander.
Epic -W 7:1 Compression VS Epic Dragon 6k 4:1. Which is technically less "Lossy"?
I am getting ready to upgrade and just wondering which is technically less lossy? I know that 4:1 is great compression ratio for keying, noise, and most amount of detail possible. So how does 7:1 compare on the...
I filmed some test footage with a Epic-W and it seems all the skin tones around facial hair or shadow areas has this weird greenish tint smear similar to what a blown out highlight that you reduce highlights would look like. Its like information is missing there. It looks very strange and...
SOLD TO SAM AND ZACK! THANKS!
So I am really thinking about upgrading to Helium. I have my scarlet dragon listed but may sell the Epic with the kit instead and trade in the scarlet. The Epic Dragon Kit will come with everything below.
Priced to sell fast! $17,500!
650 Hours. Just inspected...
I can export my dragon 6k footage all day. It will not export helium footage. Everytime it just crashes. It won't make it past 10% even if I shorten same thing. I am running OS X Sierra 10.12.1. I have a mac pro 8-core and 2x D700 GPU's. Cant export in any format to any drive.
EDIT: Just...

I am picking up a used epic dragon 6k tomorrow and it has 650 hours on it. My scarlet has less than 150. Just wondering how many hours they can go for typically? In my circumstances I shoot mostly indoors, or outdoors with decent weather. Cold or Warm I never shoot in rain, or blowing sand...
I think we need a sticky for this thread "registered RED owners Theft Recovery Page" where everyone posts. Anyway.
I was looking to buy a RED epic dragon and came across an eBay sale for $18k for a brand new EPIC Dragon! The guy said he would take $15k! Comes with case and everything. I called...
Long story but plan on storing the scarlet for a week in my pelican case. Is it safe for 10 days in temps that drop to 40 outside at night? Daytime probably 55-60. Camera won't be turned on just stored.
just wondering. Also how about mac pros or my Dell ips monitor?
I have a scarlet dragon and it locks me at 13:1 for 60fps in 5k & 10:1 for 60fps in 4k. I also get locked at 8:1 for 23.98 in 5k and 7:1 for 5k ws.
what are the epic dragon lowest compression settings for 5k and 6k in comparison to what I have listed above?
thanks guys!
So I upgraded the firmware to my scarlet Dragon today. I followed the instructions exactly as stated on the website. Put the folder on the root of the SSD and turned the camera on. I then let it upgrade and then turned the camera off. Waited 10 seconds and then booted back up. Everything is in...
I have a 7" touch and on the left side where the black border goes around the monitor (edge of the display where it stops) has light bleeding through it. Almost if the backlighting burnt it. Picture below. RED tech said they are on all the monitors they have. I wanted to check here with everyone...
I am selling my Canon 17-55mm f/2.8 Image Stabilization lens. I had this lens for my other BM cameras, Sony and RED. I wanted it for handheld but never use it. Condition is 9.5/10. Autofocus on a Canon 7D works flawless. IS works flawless. No scratches, never dropped, no mold. Perfect working...
Achtel "True Blue" OLPF. Remove Magenta from Water and Skies. *Review Coming*
So I was speaking with Pawel. The owner of Achtel. They manufacture underwater housings and aqua equipment for film, theatre and IMAX cameras as well. If you shoot RED you know that the skies sometimes can have a...
I am looking for a variable ND filter to use with my Dragon. I currently have the Fader Filter HD and it cost $200. Its in the fact that it doesn't shift color that much, I do notice that its a little on the soft side. Is the Tiffen any better? Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
I noticed we have a firmware update. I have the previous firmware. 5.3.42 firmware I believe. Is there any downsides of the update. I can't recall exactly but someone on the boards mentioned there was a few issues but I can't recall where I saw that thread.
Any info is greatly appreciated...
