I posted this on my Twitter last week, but I don't remember anyone else posting about this here on REDuser like they did on ScarletUser...

First pic is to show off to scale, how small the C-SCARLET (Cinema Scarlet AKA Interchangeable Scarlet)

Second one is to show a bit more detail of the "ELECTRON" rig that Element Technica is building for the Scarlet...

WOW! That is exciting to see. I was worried they would scrap the C Scarlet program. Hadn't heard about it in a long time, but it seems alive and well :)
 
Whoa, thanks for this Joseph. This is going to be such an awesome little camera, especially with all the amazing Super 16 glass out there. Can't wait :)
 
Oh, and I meant to ask, Are those mini primes still priced at 900 a piece? If not I understand, but if not, are there plans to put electronics in these lenses to utilize the touch rack focus feature? These may not be public facts yet, but in case they are I would love to know!
 
What mount options will the camera have? What sort of lenses are most desireable for use with the C Scarlet? Thanks.
 
Joseph - I understand you have shot with the fixed scarlet? What did you think of the focus tracking?

There was a good bit o focus hunting on the rack focus video... I wonder if the fixed would be able to effectively follow focus to a person's face (or a touched object) without hunting or going out of focus.

To the best of my knowledge, their projected cost was $900 or $950 each. All of them being T1.5

I do not believe these are made with electronics which will allow you to do anything like "touch rack focus".

You are correct in that I have shot with the F-Scarlet (Fixed Scarlet). The 2 days we shot with it, I did not attempt to find out whether or not the focus tracking was enabled because it was unnecessary for the application which we had.

What you and I saw, not too long ago, was the Canon Mount on the EPIC "hunting for focus". Though Jarred has shown us the short video, we have reason to believe that this will get better and better over time.

Whether it's TechSpecs/Electronics/Color Science, RED has a track record of opening more and better possibilities with free upgrades upon their continued R&D work...
 
Wow, that camera is tiny! Thanks for sharing, Joseph. I'm really excited about both Scarlet options. Even having an Epic, there are many situations where these little ladies will be my go-to gals. I can't wait to pack them off on a documentary shoot.
 
I was under the impression that the "C-SCARLET" was a scrapped program. This has totally made my day.

And holy hell, those lenses are tiny. And a bargain at $950 if the price does stay there.

Was it not the "S35 Scarlet" which had been scrapped for the EPIC-S?

That's probably what it was, honestly. What with all the talk of EPIC-S and the Fixed SCARLET I guess it just slipped through the cracks of my mind. Glad to know I was wrong! :)
 
I know they've priced the Fixed model at an *estimated* 6k or so, but do we have an estimate on the Cinema model? I recall with the old "3k for 3k" model it was a little under the cost of the fixed, though it wasn't for a complete package. Are we looking at 4 to 5k, body only?

It used to be 2750 for the brain only (and 950 for the primes). But since, the camera have gotten HDRx which approximately is 1000 dollars more. So my estimated guess would be 3750 as of now. But things might change.
