Hello Mr. Nikon.. Meet Red One.

[Jarred Land]

 

[S. Um]

Nice! Now you have to do some tests and compare Nikon vs. Red/Cooke/etc. lenses.

 

[David Battistella]

So,

It's just going to be six screws! nice.

So,

Hmm, I can only count 4

Looks pretty solid though.

 

[Thom Steinhoff]

Beautiful shot. I take it that is #10

Does this mean you have custom naming sorted out in a way we can name our camera where nobody else can claim that name?!

So Boris, Natasha and Deadwood are taken...

 

[Sanjin Jukic]

Finally!

Bravo!

I still cannot believe it!

Oooo...

 

[Zakaree Sandberg]

Beautiful shot. I take it that is #10

So Boris, Natasha and Deadwood are taken...

These names are for our beta cams...

 

[Rick Darge]

Sweet cherries.. Now lets see some imagery !

 

[Thom Steinhoff]

Oh, that's the first time I've heard of Deadwood--I just assumed it was Jarred's #10. That combined with the "Serial number also on the side is for the first 25 post on release" and Jim saying "We'll look into custom naming" some time ago had me doing the math in my head.

Beautiful shot, none-the-less.

David

My guess is that the 4 larger screws you see there reveal 8 more [which are visible when the camera has a PL mount] beneath it.

 

[Laco Zamba]

I see 4 and 6 screws
Which we have to screw to exchange mount?

 

[David Battistella]

Hmm, I can only count 4

Looks pretty solid though.

Counting the wrong set!

 

[Joe Vinson]

Jarred, if you were hoping that shiny new RED was going to land you a DPing gig on the "Deadwood" series, I'm afraid I have some bad news...

 

[Desert Rune]

If I attach a 18-200mm VR lens, is it possible to use vibration reduction with the Red One? How about auto focus? Is there a possibility of licensing this protocol from Nikon?

I'm more run and gun, EFP style so changing primes is really not an option with me.

 

[Sanjin Jukic]

Screw them 4 and go Nikon F with manual lenses.

6 small screws are from the mount itself screwed before by RED.

The Nikon mount RED offers is passive.

Birger Engineering will offer a full blown Nikon mount with focus & iris control and a trigger to start the vibration gyros. Just search for Birger in the lens forum.
No Autofocus though.

 

[chuck colburn]

Counting the wrong set!

Mayby not. I doubt if you remove just the Nikon mount itself as the little screws holding it to the black tube would not stand up well to repeated mount and dismount. Besides the black tube looks shorter thern the one on the PL mount. Which would make sense as the Nikon FFD is 46.5mm as opposed to 52mm for the PL. But in the photo it looks like the second to the bottom left screw on the whole front standard is missing. Might just be an optical illusion...unlike the camera itself. LOL

 

[Jason Francois]

nice.

 

[Jarred Land]

Evin will test the Nikon mount when we have a few moments to breath... hes best suited for the task.
