Can the RED system handle outer space?

500* temp swings, hard vacuum, unfiltered sunlight, etc


I know Nikon had to lube their camera internals with a special grease that wouldn't evaporate due to the lack of atmospheric pressure.


Just curious.


That would make for some ....... epic ......... footage :smile5:

You should look up what the Red Bull Stratos mission did to modify their RED ONEs... there's at least one text article, and a REDcentre podcast, that have details.

I'd be somewhat surprised if the 617 sensor isn't being designed with that environment in mind

when I first heard of the RED camera I've seen it as the Medium Format unit of the video camera world

The phantom guys built a special camera for the space program, they were saying one of the biggest problems was making it robust enough that it survived the massive vibrations from lift off.
