  • 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 :)

Does anyone know of 3rd party cages for Scarlet-W?

Im trying to fit my new Scarlet-W with a cage and apparently RED has yet to manufacture any that are compatible, so does anyone know of a company that can make one to specs?

Agreed. I think you can fix the port block issue with a good machinist as well, just a few quick cuts would do the trick. Im wondering about the other access points though. My film partner and I are thinking that we might just wait until there is a cage exclusive to the Scarlet-W. Still debating...

So Matthew I guess the Raven and the Scarlet-W are the same size then?

Yeah, virtually the same dimensions (the Raven's texture adds a tiny bit to it's length, the Scarlet-W's lens mount is different) but the hole layout is different. Scarlet-W has two rows of 1/4-20s while the Raven has fewer

Yeah I was wondering about the need for a cage but everyone has their reasons.

One thing I haven't come across, but also haven't searched for a ton, is whether or not we need to protect the pogo ports when not in use. I'll definitely not be using the side port and will only intermittently use the top one. Don't want to leave them open if they can be damaged easily but haven't seen a cover for them either, except for an adapter. Anyone know 1) if we need to protect and 2) if there are any products out there for this?

I'm curious about this too. Seems like they should be covered when not in use (like on a drone or gimbal, etc.) Power passes through them, so exposed pins must place them at risk for shorting.

Yeah, let me reach out to a fellow RedUser who has done some custom CNC work before. I'll see if he might be able to whip something up. If so, I'll reply back here and PM you both (Matt and Matthew).
