    Just received my Dragon

    First to Jarred and the RED Team wholly crap you guys are amazing! Nine working days and it got shipped - so didn't expect it until after the New Year. Thanks guys! Okay this may sound like a dumb question - but I've seen all the posting about exposing different and blackshadding and OLPF's, so...

    So it's done

    I just submitted payment and "Animal" Epic #06402 is going to become a Dragon - maybe with a new name "Dragimal".

    Redvolt not showing 100%

    I charged two redvolts today, when I stuck them in the side Handel each one red between 75-78% charged. The UI says they have about a 30 minute lifespan but only charged to 75%. The three little LED lights on the battery are lighting up. So is the camera not reading the batteries right or is...

    Dragon & FD Lenes

    I am pretty certain I know the answer to this question but I just want to verify. Will the Canon FD lens cover the Dragon sensor?

    To Dragon or not

    So I am putting this out here - I got my Epic around this time last year specifically for an personal multi-year project which has stalled. One of the reasons I choose to go with the Epic was 5K; the project is about archiving and capturing "Oral/Visiual" Histories of the Living Purple Heart...

    Battery Drain

    Hello all, I have a feeling this may qualify as a dimd question but here it goes... So I have a Swiftronix XP-L95 and I'm curious how much more quickly does the battery drain when recording vs having the monitor on and not recording. I have a red epic the fan is set at default, my lens mount...

    Directors Monitor

    Hello, I'm curious if anyone would look at using the Ikan MS21 (http://ikancorp.com/productdetail.php?id=783) as a directors monitor/follow focus monitor for use on a Ronin or Crane or StediCam? Ikan listing it for around $2300, I've found it as low as $1700. Thanks Tom

    Freelance or business

    I been thinking a lot about forming an LLC, sine most of what Im doing is very low budget, I want to protect my self from liability and other benefits of being a business vs a freelancer. Here are my two questions to the group. 1) What was the point when it made sense to be a "company"? 2) how...

    horrific compression artifacts out of After Effects

    This isn't a problem I am only having with RED footage but last night I had a great lighting show - so I pulled out the 5D MKII and shot some time-lapse. Took it into AE, rendered it out as a H.264 and uploaded it to youtube 1080p 15fps, and it looks blocky and ugly. I'd a done my first shoot on...

    Speed Ramping

    Quick question is there any easy way to setup a setting (hotkey or DSMC side handle buttons) to go say 4K/24 FPS ----> 4K/120FPS ----> 4K/24FPS? I know how to setup up the first half - 24FPS--->120FPS but bringing it back to 24FPS, would that be assigning a second key/button to go from the...

    Thinking about a BOMB EVF

    So I've had my Epic for about 10 months, I love it but working out doors even with a shade over my 5" screen the bight South Texas sun is overpowering the monitor. I've been wanting for quite some time to move to the BOMB but cost and other accessories have been holding me back - I'm looking at...

    Finally got most of the FD Lenses I wanted (Canon 24mm 2.8, Vivitar 28mm 2.8, Canon 35mm 2 SSC, Canon 50mm 1.8, Canon 135mm 3.5). So now I trying to figure how to round of the set an 85mm 1.4 or 1.8 or either a 17mm 4 or a 20mm 2.8? Any suggestions? Tommy

    Wooden RedTouch/BOMB EVF Cables

    I have two quick questions. First has anyone used the Wooden cables for the REDTouch or BOMB? They seem to be about 1/2 the price of the "Real" RED cables and they have some interesting lengths - http://woodencamera.com/RED/Cables-RED/LCD-EVF-Cable-RED-R-R-24.html Which leads me to my second...

    I just picked up a Vivitar 28mm FD F2.5 & a Canon 135mm FD F3.5 - I think I love them. I got a Fotodiox FD to EF adaptor and here are a couple of the test shots - don't laugh at the stuffed monkey it was the only subject that would work we me (lol). Only light source was house lighting with a...

    DCP created in AME horrible playback quality

    So I deciede to test a DCP out of Adobe Media Encoder and test it using the free EasyDCP play. The playback seemed smooth and synced but the visual quality looked horrible (see attached image). Is that something to be expected because of the color space that DCP works in and if so - how do you...

    CAME-TV Fersnel Dimmable LED

    Hi all, I recently purchased the CAME-TV 1500w Focusable/Dimmable LED and so far I think its great. I'm trying to move away from solely using LED Panels and move more towards shapable LED's like the 1500w. I recently came across the 100w LED Fresnel which is also faceable and dimmable...
