Introducing the RED 3-axis Lens Control System

[Jarred Land]

We are proud to introduce the RED 3-axis lens control sytem, consisting of the RED WMD, the RED Lens Motors and the RED THC Hand Controller.

Priced at $14,500 for the full kit that includes all cables and batteries and travel case. The system is available to preorder on RED.COM and at AbelCINE for shipping in Feb.

There are systems at AbelCine in NY and LA as well as the RED Store in Hollywood now that you can go play with and next week there will be demo systems at RED UK at Pinewood.

Apart from the obvious features, one of the biggest advantages of using the RED system is that the WMD can inject metadata directly into the R3D files including Lens make , model and focal length, frame by frame focus zoom and iris readings ( even on lenses without LDS or i Data )

And here is the quick start video :

ET seemed pretty firm in their package price since it was announced at NAB.

Congrats on the release though.

This is the RED 3-axis system, not ET.
