Franky comes out to play

[Corrado Silveri]

Is it just me, or does Franky remind you of 1 Icon, Oakley's HQ. And Jarred, what's the deal with the Rome stomp pad, are you guys takin Franky snowboarding?

Make your own conclusion...

 

[Corrado Silveri]

Make you own conclusion (again)...

 

[Jaime Vallés]

Hmm...

 

[Jeremy Hughes]

Jaime, it looks like the Slave 1 when it's laying down.

 

[CVB]

well as long as we are in photoshop mode....

 

[SalaTar]

just a 350 block that has running issues

Dear RED Team,

Please make something ugly.

Sincerely,

Brook

heh heh.. You will know the answer to this question Friday.

 

[Brook Willard]

That sounds like new footage to me...

Awe Jarred! Dude, you've been hanging around Jim too much, now you just give self-conscious one line teasers...

 

[Don Woods]

Nice Jarred sounds like a long firday night..

That's the best looking test bed that I've ever seen. I can't wait to see images off of it.

What's the hot glue gun for?

 

[Jason Francois]

She's a beauty, because of what I hope is inside. I'd rather have a smart girl over a pretty girl any day.

As far as we know, every image we've seen thus far has come from this camera.

 

[Jeff Kilgroe]

What's the hot glue gun for?

Holding that Cooke glass in place.

 

[Andrew Benz]

Absolutely beautiful, truly a piece of art without a doubt!

Some questions...

Doesn't the design seem a bit front heavy?

How will the existing cage design work with this new form factor?

How much weight did the new form add on?

Is the re-design due to trouble fitting all of el mysterium's parts into little old spike?

Last question, when can I come over to the Redquarters and jump like a giddy school girl?

Hey yo it's Frankie. the infamous cart cam, not new design.

As Andrew said, this is NOT the RED ONE. This is a "test bed" camera. Consumers generally never see test cameras - the folks over at RED are just being nice and letting us in on the secrets.

The RED renderings you see on http://red.com are still what you'll get when the camera ships [pending any changes, of course].

Everything you have seen shot so far, has been off of Franky. She's had some polishing here and there, but the Watch, the Cigar Girls, the Porsche, even the Milk Girls has been shot with her.

Correct.. there is a difference between Spike and Franky.. Spike is the current prototype that looks like and acts like RED ONE.

Franky was the previous (and still kicking ass) test bed that was more focused on testing the Mysterium Sensor.

 

[Brook Willard]

The lens mount looks fairly secure... weren't there some difficulties originally in that regard? Keeping the distance between the lens and sensor appropriately calibrated?
