  • 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 :)

more renders...

Jim any idea of the flash sync speed. You would really break some balls if it was 1/1000th.
Great stuff!
 
Instead of answering detailed questions tonight, I thought I would just render and post... with your permission. :-)

By the way, on that last render, there seemed to be two REDmotes? Will we be able to use two at the same time?

It seems like a lot of the people who criticize the DSLR replacement model like to focus on the idea that a still photographer should buy a still camera and a motion photographer should buy a motion camera.

I don't think they really grasp the concept that with the DSMC you can shoot in motion and extract the 'perfect' still from your motion frames (reserving the 'still' mode for long exposures or special creativity).

I don't think the motion people have grasped how utterly ridiculous that concept is.

Hi Neo,

Actually, photographers have no trouble grasping the concept, it just that in practice, it is usually impossible to do both in one take.

Think about it: if the stills and motion you are working on can be shot at the same shutter speed (e.g. 1/48th second, a typical "motion" shutter duration), you'll be okay, otherwise, you may have a problem, too much motion blur for the stills, or not enough motion for the video.

While "typically" you would want different settings for motion and still, I can think of many instances when one "stream" would work for both.

Doesn't really matter, we have a switch between the two and a separate menu for each.

Heh, I for one am gobsmacked by the stuff coming out recently (both specs & renders). I think you've gone "over the top" (in the best possible way :)

Post on, I say !
 
Sweet!!

What I would like to see though is...

A smaller, thinner version of the Redmote (could be wired if neccessary) mounted flush against the operator side, with a compact flash module on the back or right side of the brain (in the second render the shoulder pad is blocking the controls, ala the Red One in many configurations). I/O's at the back of the shoulder pad as well as a v-mount for old school Red Bricks.

An alternative to the Compact Flash could be an SSD slot below the v-mount on the back to help distribute weight.

Also some kind of connection from the Brain to the I/O's where the shoulder pad is that doesn't result in cables all over the place.

As well as an EVF cable connection really close to where the EVF will most likely be placed to avoid medusa cables.

A tiny baseplate for lightweight 15mm rods with rosettes on both sides would be really nice as well.

Maybe I will do some drawings tomorrow.

None of this is critiscm, I'm am uber excited about where all this is heading.

Keep the renders flowing.
 
Looking at these new renders, Scarlett is a lot slimmer then I thought. It's the power module that makes it blockish. Theoretically, as power technology improves, the power module will get smaller. Even better, power will be wireless and you can put the power pack in your backpack or clip it to your belt. But you would still have the slimmer Scarlett body. Cool. And hence the beauty of the upgradeable modular system.

With RED DSMC the distinction between still and motion is less relevant perhaps. But the preferred ergonomics and control layouts for hand held still shooting and hand held motion shooting are quite different. The beauty of the modular design is that it can be configured for either role on a project to project basis.
The other distinction is that a true motion picture camera will cost more than a typical still camera of the same format.
 
I love pictures :w00t:
