IMS Installed Finally!!!

I've just got back from a vacation and found IMS parcel in my post.

Opened it, read instruction and installed all in 20 minutes.

Also I still didn't collimate the mount and left that job to P+S Technik technicians because I'll be on a way to München this week and visit them.

They will do the job probably better than me.

Anyway I did some tests and here we go:

Candles test: Metadata ISO 500, Kelvin 4800, Tint 33.0, lens Leica Summilux-R wide open at f 1.4. No any CC.

IMS on my RED finally with Leica Summilux-R 50mm f/1.4.

My RED life has got finally easier, lighter and much cheaper.

More tests to follow soon.

Thanks Gunleik.

I'm now learning with RED that each half, quarter or even fifth part of a light stop is very important for available light shots.

Amazing.
 
cool, are we still outside of warranty safety though? I haven't heard the latest on this.

Looks like a great setup though. If all is well on the warranty front, I will look into this option.

One question though. How well do the adapters work? I have seen some good PL adapters and some that were less impressive.
 
Anyone from Red,

What is the warranty status of this mount? I really want to get one of these.

Will installing the IMS mount on my camera completely void the warranty or just void damage caused by this mount? Is there any specific damage Red thinks the IMS mount would cause?


Thanks,
Dusty
 
The last post I heard from Red on this subject (Jarred's post here: http://www.reduser.net/forum/showpost.php?p=255332&postcount=2278 ) was that the IMS mount example Red received for eval had no room at all to tuck away the i-cable when fitting it, the cable would have to be cut off (!) to install the mount. Red was awaiting a redesign to evaluate further.

P&S are the best arri techs outside of arri. They make the BL4 Evolution, Upgrade SRs from 1 to 2.9, their stuff is as good as it gets. Period. No body makes better quality stuff, the technology doesn't exist.

Cheers,

Nick
 
I got quoted around the $2k mark for the mount plus 3 or 4 adapters.

All in all, pretty fair!
 
Any possibility of using the Canon EF lens or is Birger still the only mount to have iris control for Canon ?
 
"If needed the IMS can also be re-exchanged to the original RED One mount" - P+S Technik website

I don't see why it should void any warranty if this is the case. Though it'd be useful to hear it from the horses mouth.

My RED life with IMS is beautiful!!!

Here some pics about to store i/cable during IMS installation.

Birger is a nice idea but everybody here should know that still zoom lens doesn't handle a focus during zoom like a cine lens.

But all of still zooms can be used as a variable primes only.

I'm just asking myself is it making any sense to work with EF or DX still zooms as zoom lenses and better you can stay with Canon L, Sigma's and Nikkor manual primes.

There are a lot of excellent and very fast manual still lenses from diverse brands that can be swapped on RED with IMS.

If you need a professional zoom that get PL cine zooms.
