  • 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 :)

Ditto here Curran - we will have ours at some point in early August. I will update here once we have it in our hands...

I'm assuming it is the same that comes with the Weapon 6K Forged CF Brain. Just the Brain with Mg PL Mount, Sidekick, OLPF's and a Case. EDIT: and AC adapter

Starting to find it all a bit strange when people have paid their deposits for a camera 7-8 months ago and still don't know when they are going to get their hands on it and there's already a new sensor/camera getting itself into the hands of a lucky few.

Have always admired Red never standing still but at least let people take delivery of their existing camera before releasing the one that's going to supersede it! :)

I ordered and paid for weapon vv 8k more than a year ago. But some things come quick and some goes a bit more sltow. Think its good as long as things get available as soon as they are.

I did not see any nda.
Im guessing red sells off this batch this early partly as a field test and partly as proof of concept so I think it would be odd to let 50 some cameras out and try keep a leash on them.
 
Happy to hear that Björn. The other early adopters (and everybody) are keen to see some infos about this new sensor!
Keep posting. Thanks.

Ben, I had the same thought this morning... but it's also a tough one for Red, Ho do you offer it; in addition, or in place of our position in line for Vista? How far down the line do you go? What of people who were waiting specifically for S35? Also it is not cheap. It's not for everyone. Like Jarred said, Vista is hard. The fact it virtually the same camera as Panavision makes me feel happy about my purchase.

I'm sure there is a good story behind these Helium sensor and their development, they really came out of nowhere (to me).

Sad thing is as I need 8K for my current projects, my forged weapon will sit now until my Vista is allocated.

John, my Helium will be primarily for personal projects, but I may be open to renting it on short term projects in Toronto AREA ONLY. Contact me at michaelds@digitalcrossing.ca Thanks for the thread.
 
Congrats all! 8K in s35 sounds amazing! Weapon in 6K larger than s35 sounds amazing. VV Weapon in 8K sounds amazing. Bottom line... RED continues to listen and cater to all it's customer's shooting requirements. THAT is amazing and refreshing! For those still waiting for cameras. Trust me... it's worth the wait. Also don't look at the short term. Once you get the camera in hand it's likely you will be a user for life.
 
add this poor guy too

Sadly no... but I will stop whining for a moment and hope that some great side by side comparisons can be made between Helium 8K, Weapon 6K and also Weapon 8KVV. That would be so great. I don't want to pressure Phil since he is away working hard directing but someone should be able to put this together.

If not then after working on Transformers all day maybe I can shoot something here in Detroit if people get me Helium and 8KVV. Got lots of Weapon 6Ks on this show......!!!

Peter, It's a short 4 hr drive to Detroit from T.O. I'd be up for it in a about 7 days time.
 
Updated the first post. Apologies if this looks a bit spammy- it turned out a little that way, but I started out just wanting to know who else was nuts.
 
Thanks John

Peter, can't rip the Bayhem camera from Bay's clutches? Let me know when you're in LA and I'll hook you up!
