100 POSTS and STILL NO WORD FROM RED.. JUST AN IMAGE AND SPECULATION ..

 

[Joe Vinson]

thank you, RED. if any single piece of equipment ever needed revolutionized, it was the over-priced, under-delivering mattebox. looks terrific.

Speaking of... you got any CAD renderings of a RED Tripod to show us, Jim?

 

[Shawn Nelson]

I'm already assuming matte box and follow focus are on the way. I want to see the red head and tripod... and even more so - the RED dolly.

I don't think Red will tackel follow focus for a while.

I would gladly welcome a Red Dolly. There isn't much in between (in terms of quality track-based dollies) from a doorway until you then hit a Fisher.

Sold

At the moment this looks like a CAD render, not a matt box at all.
Any ETA for a working prototype sitting on a camera body with
weight and filter tray specs?
No info equals no matt box IMHO.
Go on, show me I'm wrong, I dare ya.

True, but remember this time last year. There were a few CAD renderings of another RED product released...

I don't think Mezmo meant it was a fake, but rather that it wasn't coming any time soon.

I don't think the matte box exists in tangible form yet. I think this post is Jim's way of getting design feedback. They learned their lesson from tooling up on the Production Pack without getting enough feedback and ended up eating it in sunk costs.

Uhm.... I think it's ugly.

I agree Shawn. All I was saying is a lot can happen in a short amount of time. And somehow, I don't think a MatteBox takes as long as a 4K Camera to get on the market. :wink:

Dear Santa -

If it's possible, I would like to buy the SN #6 and #7 Red matte boxes to go with the soon to be "reincarnated" Elvis and Mr. Bond.

That would make me very, very happy.

Please tell all the elves I appreciate their hard work and dedication.

Very Sexy, I Like I Like.

Two notes/ideas because you listen so well.

1. I think the upper 15mm mount MIGHT NOT will interfere with many zoom lenses like my 25-250 HR. If the sliding rods on the side of your matte box are sucked-up tight, then the mount will be in front of the lens! I have been using the Chroziel (It covers the HR) and the whole thing rides in front of the lens. In fact I use their 19mm to 15mm mini rod adapter. It works well. So just make sure it can do that.

2. I had a thought it would be brilliant for the lens ring to be varriable!!!! I hate the matte box vs. lens dimater hell game. How many bellows do I need to buy??? Here is my idea: Make one that is adjustable and works like a lens appiture with a set screw?... I love it.

My 2 cents

Well........ eh...... umm..........*looks over at Redrockmicro site for the RR Mattebox, looks at it and back at RED render, sighs shaking head, walks down the long dirt road into the night*.......*embarrasingly, pants fall down mid-walk*............... *continues walking*

Moral of the story? Dumbstruck! hmy:

Can't wait to hear more, Jim!

 

[Poi Boy]

C'mon Jim. this is getting to be like shooting fish in a barrel..off course I'll take one !
Aloha

[C.H.Haskell]

JIM...please, if your listening...when can we place a reservation for this puppy and what is your target release?

 

[Michael Stanmore]

I think Jim might be asleep...

But I'm sure there'll be more info in a few days or so.

EDIT: Not that I meant to say that Jim sleeps for days... Just that this was an appetite whetter... and we don't really NEED to plead for info, we'll get it as soon as it's ready to give us...

 

[Gavin Greenwalt]

Uhm.... I think it's ugly.

I'm with Sander. I like my film gear to look like it was pounded out by a blacksmith in Siberia. That looks just a bit too super soaker for my tastes. But hey, the question is how it performs, that's what really matters (except to Keifer Sutherland)

 

[Pierce Cook]

Very exciting. Looking forward to where this is headed.

..I'll take the super soaker

Your giving one of these free to each of the res holders as a surprise Christmas gift, right Jim?

[Jochen Schmidt-Hambrock]

So, what´s next? Filters?

Naw, what does Jim know about filter glasses?
