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 :)
Today I had the chance to do some more tests.
After reinstalled again the latest firmware version in the camera there were no improvements: with the new Vespid Primes 2 I still cannot see focus distance or focal length.
This time I've shot a short clip and looked at the metadata in Redcine X...
Hi all,
I need to download the latest firmware for my Weapon 6K Mg, but the RED website asks me for a login to let me download it.
The problem is that my password have expired (they say "due to inactivity" :mad:) but in the meantime my e-mail also changed and I no longer have access to the...
Hi all,
With a DSMC2 camera (Weapon MG) and a RED Magnesium S35 PL Mount, anyone have tried to connect any lens with Cooke /i Technology and see the lens data in the camera's monitor?
Specifically, can you see in real time at the monitor the focus distance and the lens focal length?
I've tried...
EDITED:
That would be quite useful indeed.
It's possible to clean all the "custom" overlays that are over the image area.
To see only the image, depending on your uw monitor, you can use the "zoom" function.
Another option will be to activate the "clean" mode for the monitor output your are...
I did this short film about some of the underwater wildlife of Santa Maria Island in Azores.
Shoot on Weapon MG 6K and Sigma Art lenses. Underwater lighting done with 2 x Keldan 18XR.
At the end of last year, we were challenged to join a small group of divers on a short 3-day trip, with the main objective of exploring and documenting the waters of the Selvagens Islands Nature Reserve.
This remote archipelago, practically halfway between Madeira and the Canary Islands, is the...
That's also a great idea!
No doubt that the combination of the fast changing preset and some change function mapped key will solve my problem.
Nevertheless, I'm still interested in other possible uses of a mapped release key function, if there are others. Maybe some RED user has found another...
Very valid thoughts, @Les Hillis specially about the ability to switch between different functions, because for my type of use I'm after a way to increase the number of assignable buttons (in this case will be a virtual increase, since the same button could perform two functions). One needs to...
So, is this thread / subject completely dead or is it moved elsewhere?
I wonder why there is no more posts related to underwater cinematography with RED, after so many posts on this.
Hi all,
As you probably know, RED cameras have almost all of its keys user programmable.
And most of them can be programmable as a "key press function" or a "key release function". Although the first one does the obvious thing, assigning a "key release" function is not that intuitive, since for...
Thanks for your reply, @Alec Eriksson . Meanwhile I've found another type of solution that allows me to keep the same PagLink batteries: https://www.amazon.com/CaTeFo-Battery-Splitter-Charging-Camera-VM06/dp/B0C2T3J5GS?fbclid=IwAR1rKeAN8nw_QshuvNaNauyLRVboXKfCmPVcaH2BXQxSf7mh31EUgLdek0c
Lots of...
Hi all,
The idea behind the film "Blue Symphony" was essentially to create a harmonious film, based on our "core business" (underwater filming) and contextualized by music that highlighted the strength of the image and underwater light, combined with the performance of model Cátia Jorge...
Hi all,
I'm looking for a solution to power/charge a MacBook Pro with a V-mount battery. I use PagLinks, but they don't have any USB-C ports. Maybe somekind of V-mount adapter? Any ideas?
Buying a new battery with built-in USB-C (in/out) port is always a solution. But, for example, although...
Last year we’ve teamed up with Water and Wind - Diving Liveaboards and Charters - Azores Islands and spend a wonderful week in a liveaboard, sailing and diving in some amazing dive spots of Azores.
This film only shows a small fraction of what can be seen and a sneak peek of the experience...
A showreel with some of the most iconic marine life of Santa Maria & Formigas islands in Azores, made in collaboration with Haliotis Santa Maria dive center.
Shot with a Weapon Mg 6K.
