I own the SmallHD Cine 5" and use it with my Komodo X often. I don't miss having touchscreen control. However, what would be the point of a "DSMC3 5" monitor" with no control-- why wouldn't you just buy the SmallHD (or competing options from TV Logic, Portkeys, etc.)? Is it about sending power +...

Just to piggyback on @Brian Timmons smart reply: in my experience, sometimes the "washed out" quality of an image under those conditions isn't so much the camera as the lens. If you were stopping down past f8 to control your exposure, optical diffraction can cause detail and contrast to suffer...

Going at this a little sideways: I don't have a particular opinion on mount, but I've been very excited about the innovation that we've seen in the space between the mount and the glass. One of my biggest quality of life improvements on small jobs has been being able to use a quality...

I don’t have a definitive answer, but I believe “hi res zoom” is a function only available in the Z8 and Z9 firmware. Nikon in their February announcement and B&H in their description of the 28-135 mention those cameras and no others. No reason it couldn’t come later for Red, but for now I think...

Great flare performance for VFX—and they also hide shoddy VFX work since it’s out of focus. :-)

I think that you and I would find some things we agree on, if we were to have a discussion—but we’re walking a delicate line in trying to keep this convo civil!

One aspect I’ll be curious about is how prices for “Made in the USA” products change. Our supply chains are often now global, so I imagine that a camera assembled in California, say, is made from pieces that all individually are going to cost 10-40% more. Are there domestic sources for many of...

*Knocking on wood*, but I’ve also never had a problem with Angelbird cfast and cfexpress cards in my Komodo and Komodo X.

Nothing wrong with your thoughts here, and I'm a bit tired of that look, too. But I do just want to point out that visual stylization has always been a part of commercial filmmaking, and it is prone to trends. These trends can get played out-- after a few years it can feel as if every movie (of...

Whether it's better or not depends on what you're trying to achieve. So: why do you shoot 120 fps, what's the creative goal or deliverable-- just 4-5x slow motion? What's the playback rate?

Thanks! Someone else recommended the AceXL to me in a DM-- and preferring it to the 1030 is very high praise!

It's interesting to think about what might attract the public in this regard. What has a "wow" factor, what's different from the home experience? It's widely agreed that widescreen and large formats were driven by these questions in the 1950s. The challenge grows greater today, with ever larger...

I don’t know about the request, but an interesting development that I might expect would be a box you can tick in redcine X pro to enable/disable automatic lens correction. And that said, for now you might want to make friends with a nice PL mount adapter. :-)

@Phil Holland shared quite a bit of testing. He may elaborate, but either way this would be a great place to start if you want to evaluate the X: https://reduser.net/threads/red-v-raptor-x-8k-vv-dynamic-range-analysis-plus.3828818/#post-3831433 And some earlier discussion in this thread too...

It would be great to have a smart LPL mount option. But just to be clear, don’t all these sets work on a “dumb” LPL set? I have a pretty good Vocas LPL-to-RF that I used to mount Arri Alfa anamorphics on my Komodo (long story, but we needed a C cam). I guess I’m just missing metadata, which...

Where are you selecting REDWideGamutRGB as "output"? Are you selecting RWGRGB in the Image/LUT-->Output Color Space? Or from Menu/Monitoring/SDI-->Look? (I'm assuming that you're not setting this as a ProRes baked-in setting in the Project menu.) Helpful to have firmware version noted here as...

I'm taking a look at what's out there for low-profile fluid heads (3/8" threaded flat mount) that can handle, say, a Komodo with a small prime (e.g. Leica R/Contax, maybe a Zeiss Super Speed in original housing) + 5" monitor + 50wh mini v-mount. My standard is a Sachtler DV12SB in a 100mm, but I...

Just to be clear, where are you selecting RedWideGamutRGB? I'm assuming not in project settings (governing what's recorded.) Is It in Monitoring/SDI? Or as your Output Color Space in the Image/LUT menu? (If you select in Image/LUT menu, is the 3D LUT option grayed out?) Also good to note your...

Hey there, welcome to the forum. "For sale" posts go in the "Marketplace" section, and this one would go in "Red Stuff." (Linked here.) Good luck with the sale!

I think maybe you’re referring to the common complaint that DPs are sometimes unpleasantly surprised by the finish on an TV advertisement (or that sort of thing) they’ve shot. Typically, this is because the colorist doesn’t know the DPs intentions, or possibly even the director’s, because...
