  • 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 :)

I'm going to echo Mitch's concern over lens sizes. It looks like if this were mounted on 19mm rods, the 15mm rod section of the mounting arm could potentially be in the way of larger diameter glass. OTOH, there still looks like enough clearance for any lens that will still fit into the bellows section. Without any reference of scale, I'd say it's safe to say it will support lenses up to 120~130mm front diameter. IIRC, the RED 300mm has a 117mm front diameter. A Cooke 18-100 has a 120mm front diameter. For larger glass, like a 250mm Optimo, you'll need a bigger mattebox. ...Just like those people who're buying an ARRI MB-20. It's not going to fit every lens out there either -- it fits up to a 130mm front diameter or something like that.
 
slowly i think all of you guys are sick ...and i really like it,

its always the same...

we need this...damn this is a workaround...damn pay premium for what you want...we need this now, better yesterday...this is a bug, chaos, we cant sleep...again workaround...

post by red...
here you got what you want...no even better no topic is needed anymore.
 
This thread is a diversion to avoid talking about the cold issues and shipping dates....

Mwhahahahaha..

What I see in the render...
It's a swing-away design, looks to be fairly compact overall. Looks like it can mount to 15mm and 19mm rods.
The bellows, or rubber doughnut (ring that is knurled) is what fits around the lens.
Two rotating filter stages -- 5x65" x 5.65" or 4" x 5.65" ? ...I doubt it's a 4x4 mattebox.
options to mount flags / barn-doors / side wings / whatever.

Thanks Jeff! That explains it. I wonder if it would be better (or possible) to have the 15/19 mm rod mount modular, so those using 19 mm could fit larger lenses without interference, and those on 15 mm rods could save some size & weight. ...oh, true I guess the larger lenses would need a bigger MB anyway.
 
Who wants my brand new Arri mattebox? :wacko:
 
Please have one ready for my camera. Is a follow focus next?
 
This is not fair to tease us like this, more details please.
There are some people concerned about releasing "development" products.
We don't have such concerns, send us as it is.
We will not tell anyone.

Looks like it would work for most primes but the lightweight rod mount would get in the way of large lenses such as the Angenieux HR 25-250, Cooke 18-100, the massive but ever-popular 24-290 and wide angle primes like the Zeiss 12mm. Looks good for most primes though.

What Mitch said. Have the arm that attaches from the rods be modular so you can use 15mm studio, 19mm or 15mm lightweight, but don't combine them because it will limit usability on large diameter lenses which cannot co-exist with 15mm lightweight rods. Otherwise it looks nice !!

You just gotta love the ability to generate a photo realistic rendering and make a whole virtual community's collective jaws drop.

Looks like another great RED accessory; I know that I want one.
