Dropped a Red Raptor from 1 meter height - no problems?

[Emilian Dechev]

Ah ok, so I dropped my Red Raptor from about 1 meter height and it fell on the lens. Of course the lens broke, but the mount and everything else seemed to be alright.

After that fall we continued to shoot for over 1 week now.

My question is, is there anything that I should be worried about? Anything that could have messed-up the internals of the camera, like in general, from a 1 meter fall?

Or did I just got lucky and life is good?

If the flange distance is ok and things works as normal I would not be to worried. Not really any moving parts in there except the fan and the body is build like a tank / aluminium block and the lens likely dampend the fall if it broke. So yes if the lens was not too expansive you are lucky it did not fall ass first.

Yes we did continue with the shoot for over a week now and everything seems to be fine. Flange distance and focus marks are good. Well the lens was a Zeiss CP.3 25mm, which still hurts, but not as much as losing a Raptor
