How To Get Non RED CF Cards to Work?

[Gunleik Groven]

Hm I was involved in several TV-series, features and shorts on R1 on RED drives, and we didn't lose frames.
But you have to... like not go into a helicopter... just for starters.

Shot R1 last time quite exactly 2 years ago. Worked just fine. (On disk on a concert. Just had to protect the drive)

But I understand what you say.

My suggestion was just to test it to see if you can have RC42 at 4k 16:9. I think limit is UHD.
And I doubt media is the culprit.

[STIRS POT] Has anyone recently tried removing the CF module from the side of a RED One to directly attach an SSD drive the exposed SATA connector? [/STIRS POT]

I think you will run straight into a wall with this. I vaguely remember someone trying this way back when and can't remember the details but i think you will find the firmware will prevent this.

Reduser is not a hacker forum, btw.
And is paid for by Jarred.

Just a practical reminder.

Someone at Red can give us the ULTIMATE ANSWER to that old and eternal question? I remember Jarred saying that he was looking at it.. A Sandisk member has even told me that she was open to discuss and find a solution with Red engineers..

Come on' ...

Like back in 2009?

yeah... Im not sure who Sandisk made these 64gb cards for.. they dont seem to work in normal cameras.. our 16GB don't either, but that's because we had to custom make them to optimize them for our camera.

No, back in 2013 :

Waiting to test..

And no news from anyone at Red after that. The only real way to definitely clos that thread is by giving us an answer. Jarred or Graeme, are you guys here?

Opening up R1 to all CF cards would be great for the whole RED ecosystem. As increases the odds people like myself will take their first step on to the RED ladder.

As I've shot a few times with an R1, but I can't see myself ever buying one for myself. Not when there are such attractive alternatives instead out there such as a Sony PMW-F3 (my current camera) or an URSA Mini / Sony FS7 (one of these will probably be my next camera).

But opening up the R1 to larger cards would go some way towards making it at least a more attractive option for me to consider as well.

Has anyone figured out if this will work or found a workaround for 3rd party cards? Would make life so much easier to just pop in a high capacity CF card, especially for steadycam work too vs. using the big clunky hardrives.
