Announcing RED RAVEN

[Raphael Varandas]

Congrats Guys, you just did it.

 

[BrandonChristensen]

Yes.

Oh snap

 

[Elsie N]

O.K. some of you are just going to have to get off REDuser for a while. My internet connection is taking too much time to load and I'm getting very impatient!

'-)

 

[Brent Carter]

well, dagnabbit. the micro-site won't let me log in to place a deposit, even though I'm logged in at the red.com site.

a little help, Brent?

Don't need to log into microsite. Just do a search on RED.com for RAVEN or check a few posts of mine back for direct links...

 

[Jarred Land]

Before question gets lost in the excitement....will RAVEN auto-blackshade?

Love to know.

thanks!

yes.

 

[Brent Carter]

When's that bad boy shipping? March?

V-Lock Base Expander begins to ship in March. Of 2016.

 

[Elsie N]

Think Base/IO with a built in V-Mount. Great for Weapon.

Crap! I ordered the V Mount from ET. Any chance I could cancel and get this?

 

[Nick Morrison]

WOW. THIS.

RAVEN is a MINI WEAPON.

I AM COMPLETELY SOLD.

MIND BLOWN.

yes.

 

[Dimitri Boschma]

Auto-blackshade - on Raven ...Thanks!

 

[Daniel Stilling]

Any chance of other models with other fixed lens mounts in the future? PL?

 

[Ruff]

Amazing camera.

Will you ever release one with a PL mount?

 

[Kwan Khan]

Any chance of other models with other fixed lens mounts in the future? PL?

or Nikon mount?

 

[Brent Carter]

Crap! I ordered the V Mount from ET. Any chance I could cancel and get this?

ET one is just power and is $900. Ours is Base Expander (so all the I/Os) plus V-Lock. For reference, just Base Expander is $1750. So, apples to oranges... Or oranges to tangerines...

Auto blackshade!! Yes!!!!! Finally... after all these years.

Way back, on the first TV show I worked on with Red One's, the grips had t-shirts made with the words "Initializing..." on the front in Red's font. The cameras had to reboot after every battery swap, and they'd take their sweet time with "Initializing..." stuck on all of the monitors. We had to blackshade every day, and for every off-speed shot. So much time saved now. It's a new era!

 

[Mike P.]

What about wifi?

And prores/rc at the same time?

 

[Brian Merlen]

glad i bought it even more as this thread goes on! can you please elaborate on the EF choice and your previous comment about electric lenses vs dumb lenses the other day? how much control will the EF provide or do we need wireless FF/etc? thx

 

[Ketch Rossi]

Is flock the correct term? I know it's a Murder of Crows, but not sure about RAVENs.

Yes it is Elsie, a "FLOCK" is a Group of animals or Birds... In this case perfectly fitted to the occasion of the RED RAVEN...


I think the Sky over the Institution will become a little darker when we'll get ready for the full batch of deliveries... But they might not be flying in an actual FLOCK but on a single BIRD, a big and very fast one...

 

[jacob.schwarz]

Surprise #2. A nifty little handle kind of like the DSMC TACTICAL TOP HANDLE. All metal, lots of mounting points, small form factor.

The new accessory Easter eggs you are finding will be rolled out over the coming days. Just doing some final tweaks...

Damn it guys! You are awesome! Excited for all the new toys. Need to start building out my perfect kit.

 

[Joel Arvidsson]

Better late than sorry!!! I love the word "scaled".

I think he mean oversampled.

 

[Elsie N]

ET one is just power and is $900. Ours is Base Expander (so all the I/Os) plus V-Lock. For reference, just Base Expander is $1750. So, apples to oranges... Or oranges to tangerines...

Yeah, I like the idea of them being together. I was looking to buy the base expander anyway, so after studying more would like the option to cancel the power only one that ET is making and get this option for both my Weapon and RAVEN.
