Incredible...

Jim,
I just showed my better half your latest render, and she asked "when does it turn into Arnold Schwarzenegger?"

 

[Martin Weiss]

What a lovely image to wake up to.

You copy-catter. :toetap05:

That last render is almost exactly the thing that I want. Something to go on my shoulder now and then and… Small enough to shoot rock shows and with the larger shoulder mounts and dollies to shoot story parts. Can't wait to have my kit! </fanboy moment>

Red Gunner below???

And I've got to add- that thing is scary looking. Just plain mean.

 

[Mazen Hashem]

what about a countdown i can't wait

 

[paul gill]

That thing at the bottom of the lens...focus servo?, so the ff is electronic and remote operable?
That'd be cool for stereo aswell

Focus servo with direct link to the lens and Follow Focus - wouldn't that be a bit of an overkill?

P.S. just did a little google on "Red Gunner" and it is quite funny what you get as results (I'm sure this will change towards the end of October — as pretty much everything else...).

Red Gunner Bark is milk chocolate with pretzel bits mixed in. It is inspired by my friend's chocolate lab, named Red Gunner (Gunner for short), who will eat just about anything.

I'm assuming the RED Gunner could possibly be something that can take the place of a rod system? :speculationemoticonthatdoesntexistyet:

But we already have RED Riser.

RED gunner has WIRES connecting to the front of the brain, remember that.

So you turn to me and say: Wired rods!
Now that's inventive speculation, lol.

 

[Joseph Hutson]

But we already have RED Riser.

And the RED Riser also has rails. I don't see any in this last render. :ihih:

 

[Vince K]

wow. speechless.

Cheers Jim and crew at RED HQ...:cheers2:

 

[Sam Winzar]

My guess is that the RED GUNNER is some sort of Cinetape-ish focus tool. Most stills photographers seem to live and breathe autofocus and I'm sure Jim has taken this into account with his DSMC system.

 

[Dave Gray]

Red Gunner looks like it could be a servo system to me. Allowing fly by wire with all lenses (which would fit the gunner).

Follow focus hasn't popped up in renders before either I don' think.

:hurray: Very stunning setup configuration, please Jim maybe you can consider different type of configurations like this last one stating the elements that enter into their composition and the corresponding price tag on the announcement day. This may help many of us to choose a working configuration to start with. Thanks.

 

[Steven Caesare]

That looks to be part of the Red Gunner?

I wondered about that, but the shape profile seemed wrong... maybe just perspective.

[Steven Caesare]

stereo mic/grip ?

Oh yeah... It is the Gunner. Didn't look like the right scale to me, but yup.

Does it look like the numbered "notches" on the cunner might line up with lens ring gears?

When are you going to switch from renders to real prototype photos without us knowing?

 

[Tim Bird]

Jim,

I've kept a watchful eye on the forums for several months now... sometimes logging in, mostly just surveying the comments. I'm struck and encouraged by the overwhelming enthusiasm for the company and product... which I share. I plan to buy into the Scarlet line and am anxious for the opportunity, but I'm patient at the same time.

Your considerate updates (and pics!!) are much appreciated and I'd hate for the sour attitudes of some spoil it for the rest of us.

Thanks for all you and the team are doing to rock the production world!

Regards,

Tim

How do you know he hasn't? Heh heh heh.
