  • 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 :)

Another taste...

I also notice that the renderings include a Stills/Motion mode switch. That's how the competition does it... boring.

I think a camera that could grab stills while capturing motion would be much more useful. If anyone can solve a technical challenge like that it's the guys at Red!

Every bit of Red footage is already a series of hi res stills. I use it that way all the time. Just grab your favorite frame from each shot. I've stopped carrying a still camera on shoots.
 
Phisically, it is about as large as a CF card, but with double height. Like a box containing 2 CF cards and raid, for the biggest combination of resolution, speed, and Redcode.

I personally want my motion settings to be something like ISO 320, 180 degree shutter (1/48th second) and my stills settings to be something like ISO 200, 1/500th sec. and highest quality REDCODE possible for stills.

Both of these are two different settings groups. I need a switch.

Jim,

I think this may be one of my all-time favorite posts from you... A simple statement which reminds us all that you are as much a customer as the rest of us.

Re switches:
How about a small slider switch like we have on films cameras to go from "Normal" to "off" speeds (in movie mode),that would also change sensor resolution if necessary.
Sometimes you have just two speeds that you seem to go between.
When the director decides, just before rolling, to go slo-mo, you could do it in a second.
That's what we're used to on film. Seems to me that it would be a cinch to implement on Epic, Scarlet, and even Red One, on a user-defined button.
I'd love to see more slider switches as opposed to buttons, which would mean less accidental switching (the EVF and side switches especially)
The EVF, for example, should have a slider switch to disable the buttons on it.
Also, proper, professional grade weather resistant (sealed) Rec on/off switches. I've got no idea how well-sealed the PCBs are in the Red one casing, but the outside of the switches look like they'd pass a bit of moisture through.

Cheers

I think you might be missing the point. Did you look at the new renders? You can put the media anywhere you want. That is the whole point of the modular system. You are not "stuck" with anything..

I totally get it. Just saying that in the renders the media slots are on the opposite side of a right handed operators head... seems appropriate for most people. And for those that it's not appropriate for, it sounds like you've got something for them too. Either way, your chuffed.

We have posted renders with them on both sides... :-) I think "chuffed" is a good thing?

Jim
 
Chuffed is a good thing. Means "well pleased" or something to that effect.
 
Hmmmm

Hmmmm

What is interesting is that also in Brit slang, to 'Chuff' means to allow toxic gas to pass from one's body. So by this verbal extension I suppose 'Chuffed' may also mean that one may have been 'chuffed' upon :w00t:

Not to dwell on this, but you are mixing up "chuff" with "guff" here!
To be chuffed has nothing to do with bowel movements hehe!

Your references?
Maybe it'd different in Acton, but in 52 years I've not heard "Chuff" refer to passing wind. Guff now, yes though guffaw is to laugh, though I think that is common UK/US usage.

I think you're right that I may be confused with 'Guff' though it would give a whole new meaning to 'Chuffed to bits!'

Shall we get back to discussing the cameras.... ahem
 
One step removed from cockney rhyming slang you would say “I’m well chuffed” [meaning I'm really pleased], (think lock stock and two smoking barrels). A "Gaff" is like a social faux pas, yet in London it also means an apartment or place like “nice gaff” (meaning nice apartment). So where does the term Gaffer come from? And is there a difference between gaffer/gaffer’s tape from black duct/duck tape? Or is this a bit of a gaff for not talking about Epic modules?
 
"Gaffer" is an early (Not OLD) English contraction for "Grandfather", who, in the days of the family firm would be the head man, ie the boss.
And now we've gone seriously OT. Could we please get back OT
 
The modular approach seems interesting, but wouldn't it be the case that in 95% of the time people use it in its 'standard' config?

Also, are there any concerns about the electrical contacts between all these modules? In my opinion, the more of these mechanical / electrical contacts the more prone the system becomes to malfunction.
