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 :)
Hi all,
Redundead is currently 8 hours with no real update after recovering a whole bunch of files. It has not exited either. I don't know if it's still trying to recover something, or just hung, or what. Anyone know when you should stop redundead if it doesn't exit by itself, and it doesn't...
Hi all,
What's the story with this SP70 mount? What is the advantage it holds over other mounts as far as shooting for particular resolutions? Does it help in using the full sensor?
Thanks!
Hi, having trouble pulling out the timecode lemo from my EPIC Dragon. Is this normal -- just didn't want to apply too much force before figuring out if there was a special way of pulling it out that I may be unaware of. Thanks for any tips!
Folks, what is everyone doing to sanitize the cameras? Anything different being done for the touchscreens?
If anyone has brandnames of approved wipes etc., would love to hear.
Thanks!
Hi,
To conserve battery power, I'm putting my DSMC2 EPIC in power save mode that it enters after a minute of being idle. But the Teradek MDR.ACI attached to it, and therefore the RT Motion Motor, won't turn off with the camera and continues to stay on, and draw power. The thing is, it seems to...
Hi folks,
Just getting to dig into Davinci's DCTL as I want to get to the best and easiest way to match Dragon (DSMC1) footage to EPIC DSMC2 footage. I'm wondering if anyone has already created a DCTL and would be willing to share it as I'm interested in doing some tests to see how well it...
On a recent shoot, the RTMotion Hand controller kept changing the ISO of the camera. Likely the AC accidentally touched the knobs, but even when they tried not to, it kept happening. We looked to see if we could disable it, but there seems to be no way to.
Anyone know? The camera type we have...
Folks, what's the relationship between sensor crop and noise on the Helium? Will the amount of noise be the same regardless of whether I shoot the Helium at 8K vs 5K? I get the field of view changes, just concerned if the noise levels are different too?
If you were zooming in on a 8K frame vs...
What's the current favorite for a viewfinder on RED cameras from a price-performance perspective?
I haven't been keeping up on camera tech developments, keeping super busy with writing scripts instead. So I'd assume there must be new options I am not aware of.
Longevity is also a key...
Hi folks, looking to sell my Dragon, very reluctantly, which has very low hours as I also have an EPIC-W and need to raise some cash for upgrading it and fund a feature I'm planning to shoot this year.
What will the brain alone fetch these days? Before I come up with a price for the for sale...
Hi, is there confusion in the marketplace about whether EPIC-W is DSMC2 or not? Especially if you are talking about the EPIC-W that does not yet have the board upgrades? I unfortunately can't afford that upgrade at the moment, and, there seems to be no crossgrade to a GEMINI which I might (very...
Hi all, doing some google searches etc., but looking to see if this community has any recommendations for the best one to get for the RED ecosystem. My lens sets include the Xeens, Canon L series glass, Rokinons and Cooke.
Thanks!
Hi, is anyone using this plate on a EPIC-W? I was thinking this would be one way to allow hotswapping batteries.

I'm not clear what the following statement in the description actually means...
Hey all, when shooting with a shoulder rig on an EPIC or Dragon, what do you all do to keep the horizon level? Especially if shooting on a telephoto lens?
Are there tools in the camera that can be turned on and kept on during record to help manage the horizon?
Thanks,
Nikhil
Shot on a RED Dragon, with 5" RED Monitor, a AC7 smallHD monitor for focus assist, RT Motion with thumbwheel to pull focus, Easy Rig to help with the weight, and Rokinon/Tokina lenses EF mount lenses. Camera crew was just myself.
Hope you enjoy it! Apologies for the fb link since some of you...
I lent out my touch monitor and now an stuck trying to turn on WI-FI on my Epic-W. I have a redmote but realized I can't put it on the back of the EPIC-W too late. I have foolcontrol, but no way to turn on the EPIC-W wi-fi so the REDMOTE scan returns nada. And ofcourse, foolcontrol can't connect...
Hey all,
I shot the filmmaker intro for this Kickstarter staff pick political thriller, "Romeo Replayed", on the EPIC-W. Very basic setup - and plan to shoot the short itself on an EPIC-W / MoVI 10 combo.
Please do check out the Kickstarter pitch. Do spread the word and help me reach some of...
