  • 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 :)

    Get Your Hands on the RED V-RAPTOR [X] and KOMODO-X at BSC EXPO 2025

    Forgot about Enso (real new) and Hugo actually. But yes, in terms of volume Arri Signature Primes are the most "out there" in LPL Mount. There are very few Leitz Elise and Hugo sets in the world, but they are nice. There are vastly less of other things on that list. There's only two sets I...

    RED / Nikon Z-Cinema

    We haven't seen anybody "crack that" yet, but it appears to be technically possible to do Z>RF and Z>L. There's one sticky pit on the inner diameter, with Z being 55mm and RF being 54mm. That is the real question.

    RED / Nikon Z-Cinema

    A note to be made. RED will have access to more Nikon Z glass than I will and it sounds like they are making a new lens coverage tool, which is good as I stopped doing that long ago and CVP does a decent job on that front. But the info I'm aiming at is since RED is now making both Nikon...

    Get Your Hands on the RED V-RAPTOR [X] and KOMODO-X at BSC EXPO 2025

    LPL holds value, though it is essentially a positive lock EF Mount. It's been rather difficult to get the industry to adopt it just yet as there's only two lens sets that require it. PL with /i Data is vastly more important and thankfully is something that exists. And the eND Mount is less...

    Probably the most interesting set of 1.3X I've seen in a long time.

    Should I Deliver in 5K WS or Downgrade to 4K? (Shot on RED Gemini)

    Really depends on the project and delivery requirements. But I'll say this, I've been mastering in 4K, 6K, 8K, and higher for years now with "the future in mind" and that has paid off. Not really suitable for every project, but for a significant amount of my work we master at the highest...

    What to expect from a RED camera with Z mount?

    There's a great deal of layers to what tools are needed, in demand, and what each filmmaker will benefit from. High resolution sensors are not a lack of innovation, not by a long shot. The benefit of oversampling on a Bayer Pattern sensor alone is worth while. And that's before getting to...

    L.A. Wildfires

    Still ongoing, but it's been a tragedy for many. Homes, businesses, landmarks, and more lost. Studios for the most part out of the blast area thus far. Winds have died down, but for a couple of days it was over 100mph gusts and that has really pushed the fires along, knocked down trees, power...

    Any damage possible from attaching a AirTag to the camera body?

    If you're asking if the GPS aspect will damage your camera, no. If you are asking if it's possible to damage your camera body by attaching something, well don't use industrial strength adhesive :) Lots of people have been using AirTags in PL Body Caps or sneaking them into their baseplates.

    From V Raptor to V Raptor X

    You'll see other gains for sure with fast motion in frame and motion seen from camera movement. Extended Highlights is pretty nice too once you get familiar with when it can be used in your favor. My only feedback is pretty positive. The Raptor cameras are the most versatile production...

    Cooke discontinues their legendary S4/i Series

    If you are ever looking for the actual Cooke Look, the S4/i series really and truly are that. Fantastic lenses. I hope whatever happens down the line this is something they build on.

    Red in Science!

    Though Sigma Cine/Art are pretty close to Otus in quality.

    Optically speaking yes.

    Red in Science!

    If you are looking to extract stills from motion, that specific type of motion, you'll want to explore a faster shutter speed like 1/250th or higher. If you are on RF Mount on the camera, the Canon 50mm f/1.2L is very good. However, if more budget sensitive the 35mm f/1.8, 50mm f/1.8, or 85mm...

    Anyone experienced this issue with V-Raptor X?

    Had a quick look. I would say contact RED Support and send them that exact .R3D Snapshot. Something isn't correct. Potentially a Sensor Calibration may help, but in this case I doubt it.
