the spec for hot temperature got bumped as well, right? We'll be shooting a lot in the Sonora Desert that can get as hot as 50°C in the shade sometimes so this is great news for us.

Red shut down at 116F or 46.6C. Need ice pack to go beyond I guess.
 
BTW, the tests were done in a Thermotron.

May we all ask ourself that up to now, how many scientists have ordered the RED ones for their extreme shooting locations ?

If not, it's not our position to make further In-house test.

1) Will the RED one camera + RED solar panels which can get Solar Engery from the Sky ?

2) Will the RED one camera explore if we shooting so close to the Burning Jungle or Vo Can NO !!!

Cheers,

Hold on tight everybody. Red is about to burst forth and change things forever. Tonight we stand on the precipice of delivering the cameras the world has been waiting these many months for. We are there. The cameras absolutely rock. Build 12 makes the Red One a complete package. The first 100 users have been instrumental in their contributions, their assistance, their patience and their unbridled support. We could not have asked for a better group of partners to test, to refine, to push the cameras to their limit. Without them, we would be months behind.

Jim took an unconventional path. Some would describe it as crazy. I did. Coming from an industry where large Japanese companies move slowly and methodically, testing and retesting before anybody knows the model number, I was in shock that cameras would be released to the market before they were ready. But Jim knew what he was doing. The passion that burns in him daily beat in the hearts of those brave reservation holders that stood in line that first day of NAB '06. He knew that these pioneers would be the best Beta testers money could buy. In the course of defining the trouble areas, Red simultaneously raised the bar for customer support. Ask Reservation holders 1-100 about Brent Carter and the Bomb Squad. No company in the history of our business has the personal contact and immediate response that Brent has developed at Red. And don't get me started on Kelly. She is the Gold Standard for customer service and personal attention.

The extraordinary thing, really, is that this company is human. It lives and breathes. It has an ego, it has feelings, it wants to be the best it can be. Every individual involved takes it personally. There are days when I wish the world could peak behind the curtain and see us. There we are, huddled in our ass freezing warehouse at lunchtime, circling the food table and the topic of conversation is the new lens mount, the latest temperature test and any number of open discussions about this amazing product. We love it. We are all in, every one of us. To the last person, this camera is a part of us. Whether we stock the shelves or test the back focus, answer the phones or ship the packages, we all look to Jim as a man we will not let down. You know the day you meet him that he believes in this camera with his heart and soul. This is not a business, this is his life.

I met Jim 25 years ago. I call him a friend first, a boss second. I am here because of the thing that he values most, trust. There are brilliant people here at Red, like Jarred, Deanan, Stuart, Matt, Dave V., the list is a long one. Each and every one of them has great input on this forum and I am humbled by their knowledge and expertise. I'm old school, having been around a long time with life-long experience more on the still side than motion (actually comes in quite handy with a raw capture camera like the Red One) and hope to be able to reflect the human side of Red. When you see one of my posts, it will likely be a behind the scenes look or a reflection of Jim he's too modest to mention. Bottom line, this is a camera company unlike any other camera company. It has a soul and it has an undying desire to be more than what is expected. Every day it will attempt to push the boundaries, never satisfied with good enough.

To anyone out there that is waiting, the wait will be worth it. To anyone wondering if this is real, rest assured that you haven't seen anything yet.
 
RED's albedo

RED's albedo

Good news on REDs cold temperature performance.

Personally I find any hot weather performance figure difficult to apply to practical shooting in hot climates, except if a camera can be operated in the shade or protected from direct sunlight, which is not always possible for doc shooters.

Albedo is the term that descibes the fraction of light reflected by an object.
Black metal reflects very little :(

good results - i am delighted to hear that the behaviour in cold environments is no longer an issue, especially for doc work the limits were a little bit tight before.

and i am surprised to hear that the disks are functional in those temps

For those uf us in Metric land: 106 F is approx 41 C and 116 F is approx 46,6 C ( a lot hotter than I would expect in my part of the world)

Here in Perth, Western Australia, it reached 44 C (can you believe) on the 26th Dec. Not usually this hot.

The camera may work in these conditions.... but I'm not sure if I would?

Hi Big John,
I knew the RED one body had filled up of new type of " RED BLOOD " of course no real Human Heart inside unless you had met Jim in person to hear his heart beating to sync with his RED one bodies.

The fact is :
as far as I know at least in ASIA that many agents/resellers/rental houses of SONY / Arri / Thosmson / Panasonic have ordered RED ones to gain their new revenues. Camera is just a body, and will rest of them above have human hearts to sync with their one of the products ???
All of their founders above were RIP.

Only Founder @RED DC is alive.

TIME TO TELL the rest of the history.

My warmest regards to all RED one holders for now and future.

Well said !
 
Big Jon, welcome to the forum. Looking forward to your continued insights.
 
Damn Big Jon, I got goosebumps because of your post.
We all know the RED team is special. I've seen it at the IBC. It's like a small special forces unit that would die for their leader and cause. That's exactly the type of team I will spend my money and trust on.

I dont really understand 90% of what you said.. but just so you know Big Jon is part of the Red Team, and meets Jim, in person, almost every day.

ok... can i personally deliver your camera? Fresh Powder in the Alps sounds pretty nice about now.

You can personally deliver my camera, we've got a lot of powder this last week. Seriously, if you can bring 1108 to Red's sundance party (I'm hoping you guys have one this year), it'd be great :)
 
To answer an earlier question... Yes, I drew the happy face on the lens after the camera was removed from the Thermotron and in the conference room outside of the testing room.

...unless you're at Willow Springs Raceway in the summer - no willows, no springs, just nasty, 115+ desert weather - I'll bring plenty of gel packs for me and my RED!

Oh yeah.. I used to live in Santa Clarita and it got so hot candles would literally melt all by themselves. Summers are brutal.
 
Damn! Big Jon beat me to it... damn! I was still hoping the position of Red's "soul-man" was still open. Anyway, better luck next time I guess. Well said, Big Jon. Welcome aboard!
