  • 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 :)

NATURAL HISTORY FILMMAKERS DIRECTORY: Wildlife, Landscape & Outdoors Specialists.

I thought this would be best place to post this, since it is specific to Wildlife and RED cameras.
If you have and used both the RED ONE and the Epic for wildlife work, what is you experience/feedback of using both cameras

Below is mine on key factors that I worked out having shot both.

RED ONE : Negatives, Weight,Weight,Weight, Less Dynamic Range. Positives : Long Recording time(cost savings),4.5K 16X9, 120Frames at 2K, PRE RECORD,
Epic : Negatives Media(Expensive,difficult to backup and shoot at the same time in the field) Laptop+other stuff balances out the weight, No PRE RECORD, Positives: Excellent Dynamic range great for low light work, 5K 96Frames, 300Frames at 2K, Weight, Auto Focus extremely useful while tracking and filming.

Please add comment.

I'm going to be shooting for a nature/sustainable living documentary over the next year in Humboldt county, CA. I'll be available on a limited basis for other projects and have an Epic package to rent out (with RPZ 18-85 and Canon 150-600/5.6L) in case anyone needs footage from the land of giant redwoods, roaming elk and pristine pacific coastline.

Thanks James, just PM me your country of residence, years of experience, bio, skills, and contact information.
 
I'll PM my details also... This is an area I'm keen to get into. I just purchased a Canon 800mm to use with my Dragon.. Fully equipped 4WD in Australia ready to shoot!
 
Hi Christian,
Is this thread still open? I am working as a Natural History cinematographer, based in The Netherlands, shooting Red Dragon.
 
I just discovered this thread as I am a new member to the community.

Does anyone have a suggestion on the best brain/sensor for Red Underwater?

Does the Gemini have advantages over others based on the low-light? Is it better than the Helium underwater?


I mostly work with land-based natural history, but it will also include underwater soon. Thanks
