  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Long Live RED ONE

Am happy for what you guys mentioned about RED MX. +1 :001_cool: got mine 3 months ago.

Yep the R1 MX and original Red One is still a great camera, i tell producers over and over they can still use it, but it's like talking to a brick wall.

HI I have one doubt.... sorry for the say.... bt... longdays in my mind.....use few words... in reduser.net..
RED LCD Original . RED ONE Original , etc....
so ..... now... my question .... RED Fake product in Market? (I mean Duplicate REDONE,REDLCD..etc... )

Only One Name/Company - RED Digital cinema Company?! Right
 
Still shooting the FIRST RED ONE M - In love with this camera, unique signature !

I use two RED RAM - NO FRAME DROP - NO CRASH.

I can't say that with the red drive. I think RED RAM or SSD is the best way to use. Red Drive is too slow and crash too often.

Amazing Camera, will be a collector soon and very desirable of his unique look and image signature.
 
nothing else to add! I love my red one to bits even though I was only able to afford it when epic and scarlet were already out in the wild. I was lucky to have been the camera assistant on the very first shoot with the very first red one to have been delivered to switzerland back in the days and I have rented the cam whenever I could until I finally got one myself. :)

Just remind me how much the SSD upgrade for the RedMX and 320GB worth of SSD storage costs. I've never encountered any problems recording to RED Drives. Why would anyone spend the money to upgrade Red MX to SSD considering the cost of the upgrade and the cost of the media in comparison to the cost/value of the RED ONE. CF cards work fine for situtations where you'd have problem with RED Drives.

+1

Others mileage may vary, I'm sure, but I've never had a single problem shooting on RED Drives.

The cost of RED SSD media is still a factor in my budgeting and it doesn't need to be.

I'm *still* working, in a very desultory fashion, on a solution for hooking RED Drives up to Epic/Scarlet, as the cancelled Red module was supposed to do. It isn't rocket science, but it is fiddly.

I remain convinced there's a market for an alternative storage solution for Epic/Scarlet, for people who don't need the convenience of pocket-size SSD cards. A small external box, 3 x 2.5" standard SSD drives in a RAID 5, should provide all the capacity, security, and performance we need.

As for the Red One… +1. I traded my old M in on Stage 3, and was *very* glad I had the budget to buy a BT MX when they came out. That was almost a better deal than Stage 3 itself! Thank you RED :-)

I built my Red One MX kit for less $7000. I agree with Jon, it is quiet and is a workhorse.
EVF versus LCD? I hate the battery drain by the LCD.
 
Very refreshing topic.
I bought my RED 1 camera and all the package, back in early 2011 and it was quite expensive,
​I didn't use but for a single 2 weeks production.
a little annoying if you compare to today's prices for the same body etc...
I took a leap of faith and invested on the Mysterium X sensor upgrade and spent extra $5.000.00
Now I don't know Why I didn't upgrade When I could and decided invest on this one, but I am happy
It is still around and others had a similar experience.
 
We own two Red-Ones and a Scarlet. Can't afford an Epic.

I have to say, that except for size and weight, we like and prefer the Red-One over the Scarlet. It is an EXCELLENT studio camera, with menu options easily accessible, and the multiple connections make it easier to connect to as well.

I've come to realize that to me, price has nothing to do with it. The ONLY reason Red-Ones dropped in price so tragically is because of the release of the Scarlet and Epic, and as a result, the market being flooded with Red-Ones. They are more than worth their original price of $25,000.oo. Tape-based cameras, like Panasonic and Sony, were selling at the time for over $75,000.oo and could not produce quality anywhere near as good as the Red-One. So, whether you paid $25,000.oo or $10,000.oo you most definitely got your money's worth.

If you have a Red-One you have a treasure. Treat it well, and it will give you the best.
