I'm always one for a game of photo hunt in the morning, and so far a few things pop out at me:

1. DSMC2 Side Handle - Front and center, looking rather slick and humble at the same time. Love the wood.
2. DSMC2 Redcast Module - Antennas that can't seem to be missed. Excited to hear more about this one.
3. Jetpack SDI - Another shot of the special SDI Jetpack in the corner.
4. New LEMO Connector (???) - Alongside the LEMO connectors (right of center) is a shorter, stockier, LEMO connector with some sort of attachment atop. Not sure if it's a NATO rail or something else.
5. Black Aluminum 6K DSMC2 Body - Someone was very good at hiding the RED coin behind the side handle... There's a big difference in the brushed Magnesium look and the painted aluminum enclosure, and I don't think it's just the light. Those prototype accessories weren't placed for nothing. ;)
6. GDU 40mm - Sitting on the 8K Weapon

The only other things I noticed were a plate below the red Mini-Mags and another plate next to the Base Expander. What else do you see?

I'm blues that aluminum 6k cam is the new epic-w
 
That aluminum just looks to be a prototype DSMC2 top handle ... the body is black like the others especially if you look at the highlight near the scratch mics.

The "3D" EVF is just two EVF's sitting next to each other. Bringing up the levels in Photoshop shows that. The SDI looks cool and the handle is bomb.

Sorry if this is a total noob question but what are those battle tested lenses or whatever called. Because I want one now...

9 times out of 10, they look brand new.

+1. Never meant that they were throughly used items (like normal "used" item in regular market) just trying to let Clark get the terminology, bought my Epic M battle tested which Jarred publicly claim had less than 5 hours of total usage, only for me to receive mine and fire it on and discovered it was actually used for less than 5MINS! That was pratically NEW! RED is awesome with their BT items, just trying to let Clark know what the term stands for. Still very grateful for that once-in-a-lifetime deal with that Epic M BT deal

I sure hope not - I literally just paid for the Mg upgrade yesterday.
 
Exciting that Epic-W is 6k!!! (We see a "weapon" body laying sideways above the left Raven - allowing us to compare texture/color of the two 6k bodies, and also infer that they are not two of the same bodies - the fact that it is center frame and logo blocked is also very suggestive)
My bet is on 180MB/s, shipping in May. Can I get the first timestamp if I'm right? ;)

Redcast module is interesting. What are power supply options?.... or... is it a side module? a side+rear module?...
 
Under the red SD card in a monitor. I was wondering also since Red produced lenses a while back if they were doing it again. The red case, different sizes and they are mounted on the 8K may show they are wide enough to handle 8K. i could be wrong but why not mount a regular lens? unless they went for unique marketing style.
 
There's certainly a few teases in that big picture. That DSMC2 REDCAST Module certainly being the most visible.

The Global Dynamics United (GDU) lenses are thus far focused on extremely rugged rehousings of compact electronically controlled focus and iris lenses. Perfect for wireless controlled scenarios.
 
I'm very curious as to if the Epic W is a real thing. There's a lot of evidence that points to it, but it feels like it can only really be a Aluminum 6K Weapon essentially. It would have to be priced around $20K-25K. It kind of doesn't seem like it fits.

Hopefully $20K or less for Epic-W. Smart for RED to bridge the gap between products, but more importantly: Keep the EPIC name/model/brand going. "Epic" is a household name now - and might actually have higher positivity associations than the "RED" name as a whole in some circles. Keeping EPIC alive is important beyond just price targeting. imho.
 
I personally don't think there is a Epic-W hinted in this image. For two reasons. One, it really wouldn't make sense for them. Between the Scarlet-W and Weapon MG it would just be another body with maybe some different data rates but essentially identical to a Weapon MG and that doesn't make sense at all. Possibly a new Epic will come out but I would assume it would be better than the Weapon or a different animal all together. Two, I don't think that's a new body hiding behind the handle ... especially when it's run through Photoshop. Mainly though, I really don't see anywhere for a Epic-W to fit UNLESS they simply put the current Epic in a new body.
 
It's nice to have diversity, but too many variations can be bad
