  • 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 :)

Dragon....

Nice

O.. and Scarlet Dragon upgrades should start shipping near the end of September.

Jarred, this implies you will have been through the upgrades for Epic M and Epic X in a month's time. Are these in fact your expectations? Have you got the upgrade process down to that fine a point?

So you get the same 16+ stops of latitude at 200 asa as you do at 2000 with the Dragon. No latitude penalty when you lower ASA.

Hello Jarred,

As I understand, you say that there allways will be 16+ stops of latitude but if you take your exposure :

@ 200 you'll have highlight clipping at (say) 4 stops?
@ 2000 you'll have highlight clipping at (say) 7 1/3 stops?

There is so much of latitude that highlight clipping is much less a concern and therefore we can lower iso (we used to do it contrary with the MX shooting at 800 or 1000 outside to keep the highlights).

Is it right?


So the DoP can make an error of 2-3 stops without having a big trouble... I think I'm going to resing ;-)

So if the Dragon sensor likes to be warm, does that mean the minimum operating temperature is higher than the Epic-X? Will the Dragon still be able to perform in Arctic or Alaskan shoots?

It's easy to cover the heat sink with a towel to get it hot. Now I wonder how the electronic will hold higher temp in long term as it was engeneered for a lower temp.

Hot no problem I usually use my EPic inside an UW housing. I can't wait to see what the Dragon does for UW footage with the extra DR
 
Will you guys ever sell the Scarlet Dragon as a new camera, or is it upgrade only for existing Scarlet owners? I was trying to figure out what price point it might be if ever offered new? Or perhaps you never intend to offer it new at all and that is why its not on the site? Some closure on this would be really sweet! Cuz I might want to upgrade to Epic and still buy a Scarlet Dragon, but its hard to know which path to go for without knowing what buying it new is price wise? Thanks!!!
 
Yeah! That's perfect timing... I'll be able to test this baby until the limit with indoor events and low light circumstances... BRING IT ON!!
 
Great!!!
Two Epic-M Dragon this fall. Our clients will be as happy as I :biggrin:

The Dragon also wants to be warmer than not ( go figure ) . Good thing, as the Epic itself doesn't have a problem generating heat. A match made in heaven.

The Dragon Firmware will automatically bring the sensor temp up... which can mean a lower fan speed (depending on your circumstances).

Thanks a lot for the update. My intention is not at all to ask a nasty question, but just to collect information: Does this affect shooting in extremely cold, say close to -40C/-40F? The reason to ask is, when shooting with Epic and it gets down to -25C to -30C / -13F to -22F, typically the fan does not run at all.

What ever is the case, not a problem, but instead an issue of being equipped properly.
 
man this has made my day...THANK you Jarred
 
I am also interested in buying new bodies (Epic Dragon and Scarlet Dragon) instead of upgrading.

Thanks for the update Jarred, happy about the wide ISO range, I'm really looking forward to testing it.

Can Europeans or Germans send camera in to Berlin or London to avoid the sh**** custom stuff ?
