  • 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 :)

Announcing RED RAVEN

Sensor size will screw up my lenses. It should have been either s35 or should have MFT mount. Not happy about that at all.

But is there a way to actually control the camera without the touch screen? I don't want to use foolcontrol in the field. I mean with the epic, you could use the side handle.

I'd love some advice because it will determine whether I chuck a deposit on the brain only or a package.

whats a side kick? im trying to figure out the same thing but last night by the time i posted my question would be 4 pages back, im trying to understand the battery situation too. does v locl mean you can snap a battery right to it, or does taht mena you can snap a battery module right to it? if if its battery direct, is it just the bricks? trying to keep this as small as possible! and i wonder if there is a tiny thin i/o that just has hdmi out, literally all some of us need.

Here is the sidekick, it's a bit like a sidehandle, but different form and without powering solution. Basically buttons for control and a display for basic information.

And you can snap a V-Lock battery directly on the Base I/O V-Lock Expander.
 
Jarred and team,

Fantastic job. Really nailed everything I (and many others) personally need in a camera with the RAVEN. It'll be a perfect addition to my Scarlet. Can't wait to see what all the newcomers start to put out as well.

Is there any word on a REDVOLT accepting side handle on the way? I really would like to kit this out as close to a DSLR as possible for travel and quick/light shooting purposes. The original DSMC body came close but was just a little too big and heavy. This seems perfect - but with a large v-mount or the REDVOLT expander module on the back it can only get so small.

You guys rocked it last night - always exciting to be in on the fun.
 
Love the Raven, in many ways it is more like the camera that brought me to RED than Scarlet ever was. It's Scarlet-3k, just so much better and modernized. Finally 120fps at full-sensor-resolution. Wasn't that in the specs for Scarlet-3k?

Congratulations RED, terrific job, i applaud you guys, i tip my hat... It's amazing what you pulled here. And Jarred, i swear i was surprised by a few thing, didn't need to pretend to. Hehe.

And i love the way this announcing has been done, a bit like a virtual party with friends and a lot like 2011. Great job Jarred and Brent, nice to know Jim enjoyed this party too. :)

Welcome to every first-timer here, i can imagine how exciting it is. It's going to be a great time here on reduser with all the new people around.

P.S.: I like the silent little tease about more to come. ;) And now, decisions decisions...

Everyone seems to mention Canon, Sony and BM, but to be honest, you guys have killed something else for me too: the Axiom Beta.
 
Does the RED Raven support 3D LUTs? If so... what kind?

+1 on that, one of the most important questions for me. It has been asked a few times in this thread (and other WEAPON-related threads), but so far there is no word on this. I'm pretty sure RED knows. ;)

I have a little Déjà-vu here, when i received my Scarlet the DSMC-SH had been delayed and i had to work without it for a while. Doable but the once the SH landed it made a huge difference. It never left my camera since then.

thank you!!! yes, thats what i need, there should be a pkg with the side kick, the new i/o and a couple of batteries :) whats the smallest vmount battery situation, the brick?
 
Maik Müller said:
No 3D Luts. Brent said no to this earlier in this thread.

Thank you! Hmmm... I wonder if that will change in a firmware update. Would be an awesome feature since the camera already has Apple ProRes and full sensor 2k down sample.
 
Late to the party. Killer question that I don't have the time to search through 50 pages for:

Is there an upgrade path from Scarlet MX? Or maybe now a new path to Epic MX?!?!? ; )

Thanks,

Same experience. Might as well have bolted it on since it came in the mail.

Nothing has has been mentioned of upgrade paths.. I also highly doubt it, but that's just my uneducated guess

If you want to go small, then have a look into the REDVOLT XL module solution, a bit more expensive but a great option to keep in mind. Otherwise there are smaller 3rd-party V-Lock batteries than REDBRICKs. PAGLink makes some nice things, but there are others too. Dig into the forum, there are a few threads about this.

ok, thanks again, but if the new i/o is very slim and has a v-mount, i guess it makes sense to go with the bricks then adding a whole other monitor…
i wonder if the new i/o would be something like this size with a v-mount

Thanks for the answer, not really convenient is it ? can we expect any side DSMC side handle any time soon ?

I don't know what's inconvenient about V-Mount, considering it's one of the most popular options in cinema!!

There are rumors of a sidehandle too. I assume it will hold Redvolts.
 
So can somebody smarter than me explain what would be my motivation to keep my $5k deposit down to buy a Weapon Mg?
2 extra k's of resolution for 30k dollars?

Seems like a huge gap. The Weapon pricing is confusing me right now. #2k4$30k
