  • 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 love the round filter holder grips on top. Much easier hold onto than the small knobs/levers/stakes we are used to.

If anything, I love it because most people that have seen #97 remark that it looks like some cannon of doom rather than a camera, and this will do nothing but further that image.

Yes, Mr. Cruise, that IS what you look into for your closeup.
 
Woah...that's effin' sweet! Who needs an MB20?? If Doctor Octopus built a mattebox it would look something like this!!

RED is going to be the bad boy of NAB 2008. Everyone else is going to hate them for taking their business. If priced right - this piece of equipment just might put the Redrock mattebox out of business even before it's born. Time to market, Jim!
 
Jim - love that you're doing it, but that appears to be a two stage...correct?

GOTSTA have 3 stages! Pola & ND setup.

Also, random note misplaced- Red Alert & Redcine should have reel info in the QTs they make...as should the camera. Otherwise, fubars the conform workflow later...
 
I am with Evin and Elcurado, this has to be Curt's work... if so then the target price according to Curt was somewhere between $1500 to $2000.

No, it was $1000 to $1500

Seems like a tradeoff. Using three filters is always inferior optically if you can do it with two, due to flares/ghosting from surface reflections. If you have a strong enough ND you should not need or want to stack NDs. For any given filter size, having 3 stages limits the widest angle before vignetting, relative to a 2-stage MB of the same size.

That's a tad high Shawn.:wink:

Actually, Curt said from $1350 to $1500, I added the extra $500 for pad. As a matter of fact, I always add some pad because no matter what... it always costs a little more. At least that is what 15 years of buying Sony, Panny and Arri gear has shown me. It is best not to be too optimistic and plan for a little higher prices. But that is just me. YMMV Shawn.

Damn this looks realy sexy.
Why did you wait so long to show us. I just went for the Arri MB-20 group buy yesterday. If spent 5K on the mattebox.
So if we all knew the price and and the shipping time (I know everything is about to change:tongue: ) I could probably stop my Arri order. But we need some infos quick. I would love to spend my money on RED stuff but as we said it many days bofore, we need the infos. I can wait some other months till delivery. We all can handle the waiting game now :whistling:

Would be nice to hear about the details very soon.

Thanks
Tim

Would never put three glass in front of a 40'000$ lens, two are enough or I'll find another solution

But that was with the pad. Originally Curt was going to be $750, then it slid to "below $1500". Hopefully getting the cool Red styling didn't raise the price 33% or more.

I agree. I don't like stacking NDs at all. But I also think that the ability to have a third stage or a space for a round pola would be a good idea.
