They edited out the shots where the cinematographer was standing up and leaning out the front passenger-side window while shooting back down through it for some reason. I think the airbag video is a good example and reminder of how bad it can be if things go wrong, but what's the solution or...

Kind of feel sorry for the dude, he clearly knows his stuff and can shoot, but has to deal with other people's attitudes about it. I get that in a professional setting it can be better to have everyone staying in their own lane and there's a definite advantage in having a talented and...

Yes and no. Technically, yes, the lens is being magnified 1.6x, so roughly speaking a 50mm becomes an 80mm. However, the main point of the 1.6x expander isn't to just directly magnify in a linear way, but to expand (even if the expansion is achieved through magnification), so that the image...

Looks pretty bad. Sorry to hear you haven't found a solution. With your having already checked all the possible end-user causes and fixes (power, media, peripherals etc.) and with RED asking you to send the camera in to be fixed or replaced, seems like the camera's just developed a fault, as...

Thanks for that, interesting to know those SSD's don't cut it. You said a lot of others failed too. Would make the few that do work more valuable I guess.

If it were me I'd see if I could consistently replicate the anomaly under controlled lighting and maybe narrow down some circumstances under which it appears. If you power the camera by AC to eliminate DC power issues and don't load up any media so as to let the camera run without media...

I've noticed the prices coming down on those used Monstro's too, and also started to wonder about it. For me, the only downside with the Monstro 8K VV itself was/is also it's main upside, the larger sensor size, requiring the use of lenses with larger than Super-35 coverage to shoot at the full...

I'm not trying to start that conversation again, but the final retail price of RED-compatible media has never been just about the price of SSD's on any given day. Here are the (now discontinued) 2TB SSD's used in the Longtake mags -...

Went looking for those Samsung M.2 SSD's Kippertie were using (860 EVO's), then found out they're still making their Longtake Mags - https://store.kippertie.com/product/longtake-2tb-ssd-mag/ I thought they'd stopped making those years ago, but it looks like they've got new stock available for a...

Yes, that's correct, the 1.6x of the expander is an overall magnification factor, not an anamorphic squeeze factor. It can be confusing because there are different adapters out there that do expand and reduce and squeeze the image with varying 1.xxX factors. However, in this case, the 2x...

Thanks Rand, good to have the information all listed in one place. I know the list is more handy for those using Resolve to work with different source footage and deliverables, but it reminds me too of the time I exported the same R3D clip from Resolve, using most of the supported codecs, to...

No worries, glad to help, have fun shooting anamorphic with the Monstro.

As Phil said, you can de-squeeze and monitor the image properly from the camera by setting the RED Monstro VV to '8K 6:5 2xANA' when using the DZO PAVO 2x Anamorphic lenses. The separate issue to the Anamorphic de-squeeze question, is that the DZO PAVO 2x Anamorphic lenses are designed to cover...

Just thinking out loud here, but if I wanted to go into the legacy RED media business, this is what I would propose to RED - I will source and test the performance of new SSD's and connectors and provide RED with results showing the SSD's are capable of meeting the Read/Write performance and...

Okay, considering Phil is in the loop enough to give that advice, it answers some of the questions I had and was going to ask. I thought the fact that this is being openly discussed here suggested some things might be possible now that weren't before, or perhaps an arrangement had been made...

The fact that RED are still selling 480GB RED Mini-Mags for $1450 USD each, means the pursuit of alternatives is still largely a matter of personal economics for the end-user. If people really want or need new media it's still there for sale by RED, but people want cheaper media and RED...

Most, if not all, Leica-M mount lenses are designed for Full Frame 35mm Stills cameras. So yeah, using the lenses on a camera that is either at, or can crop into, the smaller S35-sized frame (like all the RED cameras do/can), will cut out some of the edges of the lenses image circle where the...

No worries, glad to help out when I can.

There are basically two issues using Leica-M mount lenses on RED cameras. First is getting the lens to physically fit onto the camera. The second is the optical performance of the Leica-M lens and RED sensor combination even if you can get the lens to fit into the lens mount. The RED OLPF...

From what I've read online, and looking at the Mac App Store's Resolve Studio Version history, they don't make the Resolve Beta versions available for download, only the full version updates. Also seems there's no compatibility between the Mac App Store version and the Mac OS ones available for...
