Congrats, Christoffer! I had no idea you had been without a RED this whole time.

I have seen pretty much every configuration, which is to say, there is no "right" one. Whatever works for you is best. I've had the 5" touch, the 7" monitor, currently own the 9" touch and an EVF. Each have their pluses and minuses. Love working with the 9", don't like the sail aspect of it. The 5" was great for size, but on the inky side of things. RED was wise to not produce the smaller version. A 7" touch is probably in the offing sometime down the line, one that is higher def than what we have now. That might just be the sweet spot for a lot of folks.

Regardless, enjoy your new rig. I'm sure it's not the last purchase you'll ever make from RED.

A 7" touch at full HD resolution or even 3K (like a retina screen) would be perfect. It's hard seing focus on the 7" as it is and on the 5" with it's resolution it's almost impossible. The 5" is good when you only look at the image and change settings, but the 7" regular LCD I got now is I think the best solution to be able to actually film anything as a single operator.

Congrats, Christoffer! I had no idea you had been without a RED this whole time.

I've played with everyone elses for 6 years :biggrin:

Pretty cool to have been along for the whole RED journey, but has to be especially satisfying to finally become an owner…that is a great story!

Congratulations Christoffer. A new phase of film-making begins.

I said that to myself every day for seven years, some times you have to take a leap of faith and hope a big investment will give you something back. From a financial perspective buying a Red is like buying a car, difference is that a car degrades a lot and will never pay you back, only cost you money, a camera will pay you back and hopefully make money.
