  • 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 :)

Beta Camera Build 3.2.8

Stuart, sorry to hear about your troubles, but a little relieved too. I had exactly the same results. Exactly. A perfectly functioning side handle, upgraded to 3.28 and the SH was completely non functional. Battery read 0%, but no function whatsoever. Downrevved to 3.07 no change, back to 3.0.0 no change, back to 3.28. Filed a red support ticket. Sent it back yesterday, haven't heard yet. Will keep you apprised.

Let me know how it goes - I live in Canada so sending it back is more than a huge hassle and expense, customs is always trouble in these situations - they love to charge duty and tax on items you already own.

I'm a little relieved as well, all things considered. I thought for sure that I had shorted it out or done something wrong. Hopefully its a software glitch that can be fixed quick.

I shot a TVC with this build the other day ( I have to admit I intended to roll back to 3.0.7 before the shoot, but forgot). On a sailboat, on land and using both PL and Canon mounts. No issues whatsoever. Looking good this build. Just wish my EPIC could handle phantompower :-(
 
Everything is working well for me now on 3.2.8 since I did a force upgrade. Great build which points to the cameras full potential. I only have one issue. I cannot upgrade the Redmote to the latest beta build that comes with the 3.2.8 beta package. I have followed the procedure in the manual. My mac tells me I am connected to the red mote. However, when I use the upgrade utility it consistently tells me that it cannot find the device. Any advice?
 
Appart from an occasional white screen after booting, which is solved by un and re-plugging the monitor or re-booting the camera, everything seems to be working fine so far. Oh and sometimes on Canon lenses, changing the aperture on the touch-screen doesn't change it for real on the lens.
Great to see the new 2/3/5K-HD modes ! And the new way to set the key shortcuts and presets is impressive.
Can't wait to see what that gyro can do. Combined to the new 3D-tracking feature in After Effects CS6 and to its Warp Stabilizer, this could be amazing !

I still see 2 important features missing : simultaneous HD-SDI and HDMI outputs, and audio playback. Any news on these ? ;)

Try to connect it with USB cable to PC/Mac and then upgrade.
 
Hi Laco. I am using the USB cable connected from the Redmote to my Mac. The networks tab shows that there is a connection. The difficulty arises when I try to use the Redmote utility. Before you can update you have to establish a connection through the upgrade ap. This is where it gets stuck. It says it cannot find the device despite the fact that I can see that it is connected to the Mac properly via the networks window
 
Ok. sorted it out. For anyone else having a similar difficulty the solution is to turn off other internet connections to your computer - ethernet and wifi which seems to interfere in some manner with the upgrade ap. Once you disconnect them then it works like a charm.

Didn't see this till this am, I've posted this solution several times and it's usually the issue, it should be in the manual or as a sticky somewhere as it's usually solved by just disconnecting your wireless internet.

So next manual revision you guys should add this to the REDMOTE section. It's a very common issue with upgrading REDMOTES.

Glad you got it worked out Rob.

Best to all,
Frazier
 
I downloaded the new manual for the 3.2.8 firmware. It weighs in at a whopping 63MB and I'd like to get it onto my iPhone. The 3.0.0 manual is only 12MB so I can easily email it to myself, but not the new one. And the download of the new one is a zip folder so I can't just load the PDF in Safari and then save ti iBooks. It's also secured, so I can't print/save as PDF to decrease the size or use Acrobat to to decrease the size. Any chance someone can upload a smaller file that can be emailed?
 
Hey mike... Great idea.. An iPad/iPhone manual.

RED- Just don't zip the PDF and we can import it in iBook on iPad and iPhones from the browser.

Mike - you can drag the PDF in iTunes and sync your iPhone or iPad, it will appear in iBooks.

I'm getting an error that it's too big because it's over 30MB. Can someone at Red shrink the size please? The previous manual was only about 12MB and this one is over 68MB.
 
A big Thank you to all at Red for this. As a Pal user, I would like to ask if there's any possibility for the extra 4fps to push the 5K HD mode on the Epic to 100fps? These 4fps while not much in terms of slow motion impact are fairly important under regular lighting (non high speed optimized). Thank you again and keep pushing!
