Announcing RED RAVEN

BrandonChristensen said:
Crazy stuff.

I'm reminded of the initial Scarlet orders going up...I'm in such a better place in my career now that this is a much easier decision.

Side note, I can't imagine how fast those 120GB are going to get used up at 3:1 haha. Something like 5 minutes I bet!

19 minutes according to red's tools
 
Can't decide between brain only, and Base I/O. Building up from the brain with my current 5" etc. How much will the I/O V lock cost?

Excellent question. Those two RAVEN packages are indeed bundles that ship complete. Ordering a la carte will be more expensive.

Brent, what about a potential package with current Weapon Base Expander and RedVolt XL Module?
 
Blown away. But I am thinking now and Feb is a long time. So I am thinking I can't wait till these are in the store ready to buy and take home immediately. (I'm not a very patient man when I have money tied up.)

Jarred, any plans on reducing price on the Scarlet-X to Epic-X upgrade? Was still considering it up until about I guess an hour ago.
 
I had this like insane nostalgia when I picked up my Weapon this week thinking back to Scarlet-X's release back in 2011. I have to say, I'm getting all those feels right now all over again to that November 3rd 2011 announcement at RSH.

This Raven is positioned and priced very aggressively.

For those new to all of this, you can adapt a whole lot of lenses to that Canon EF Mount. You have tons of options there.
 
Congrats to the web pixies out there who made tonight flawless on the webserver front. Not even a slowdown...

Anybody remember the Scarlet ordering night? The site went down, then we couldn't get through on the phone... frantically trying to get a timestamp to save a spot in line...

This was smooth as butter. Ordered and done inside of 30 seconds.

Well, not necessarily a T-handle. But note that this is called UNIVERSAL HANDLE, not just TOP. Can mount to a variety of locations.

oh, I get that - I meant that, as long as y'all are still designing Easter eggs - maybe you could build me a T-bar.... super light, 6 mounting points (3 across the top, one on each side, one in front). just thought I'd try lobbying again....
 
Wow. There is so much to react to.

There are so many things that blow my mind.

Raven can shoot REDcode AND ProRes. (at the same time?? Brent are you guys for real??? WHAT!?)

Raven has a Dragon sensor that can shoot 120FPS.

Raven shoots 3:1 REDcode at 24fps in 4K.

Raven uses Weapon modules, so when I make the jump, all the gear will carry over.

Raven has adaptors available, so I can use a 5.0 touch from 2011. Obsolescence Obsolete.

Raven has scratch mics.

Raven uses media with capacities up to 1TB.

Raven has WiFi, so I can control it from my iPhone with Foolcontrol.

Raven auto blackshades

And, Raven looks badass, let's be real.

Raven isn't a stripped down RED. It's not a "rebadge" of a lower quality camera. This is a real, honest RED Digital Cinema product that is held to the same high standards as every other camera in the RED family. Many years from now, this will still be an extraordinary camera, capturing extraordinary images.


I didn't even know half of the things in that list when I placed my deposit. I was sold.

But when I read that the Base I/O package comes with a V Mount? I just about freakin' lost it. That's it. $9,950. Everything I need. I can finally join the RED family.


I haven't been this excited since I watched from the sidelines as Scarlet was announced.
This time, i'm jumping in.

These five months will fly by.

Since it is IO + V lock I think between 1500-2000?

Am i the only one who wants a Sidehandle with buttons and redvolt slot even more for a brain this light and small? ;)

You're not alone, brother

Something I am definitely counting on.

Just trying to understand the v-lock expander in the package- is it:

-same exact ports as weapon base expander
-weapon compatible
-hard integrated v-lock
-separately purchasable
Click to expand...

Yes. If I remember correctly, I think maybe some extra AUX PWR. But same I/Os.
Yes
Yes
Yes
 
Will there be a Base I/O Gold-Mount Expander? I know it's a long shot considering past RED support, but everything is subject to change... and that would be perfect for 50% of Redusers...
 
Ah, so the bundles are cheaper overall. I was expecting the same as Scarlet where it was the same with the bundle and without.

D'oh.

I'm not going to give away all my secrets, but I have a lot of glass here. Zeiss, Canon, Leica, Olympus, Nikon, and lots of weirder stuff. All fits on the Canon EF Mount with a simple inexpensive adapter or going full on with a proper Cine-Mod with hard focus gears. You can convert some Canon FD/FL glass if you are a bit determined as well.
