  • 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 :)

NEW design to chew on...

Is the front/bottom quick release for the camera/rail or the Red pad/rail?

It looks like it'll detatch the shoulder pad and allow for an oconnor/sachtler, etc. plate to be mounted flush under the RED, nice.

Well, I didn't dare say that as that would be the way I'd prefer it. But I hope you're right :-)

I think that the shoulder pad detatching would be the way to go to keep that lower center of gravity while on sticks.
 
Sorry to flood this channel, but...

Are 19mm rods still an option for lens support?

Even stainless steel 15mm rods seem to bend slightly with a strong servo on older lenses in when it's cold. (Or do I just have to lube my lenses? :glare: )

19mm will be the standard, a 15mm adapter will be an option though with the premium packge.

NOW we're talking... this is exactly how I'd configure mine. I think I'd get the handle grips on the corners as opposed to the arms with holes, but I assume that's an easy option to swap out. This keeps the camera well protected while still maintaining a low profile, and the top handle exists soley for easy transport. Bravo on this design!
 
We aim to please...

Lol. But where do I put my cigars?

Dig the new design, but I still miss the bridge that ran along the top, without needing any rails. That was a spiffing piece of design. Can up I put in my 3 pence to have it back?... It'd be easy peasy to make, methinks.

:beer:
 
I also just noticed the way the interchangable side panel (with the RED logo) now "scoops" in instead of just protruding out like it does in all of the gallery renders on the red.com site... aesthetically this looks much better too! You guys are on a roll... :)
 
Wow, this is a great update. It's getting very close to exactly what I would want out of a system like this. I love the 19mm cage "arms" that you've put together. Are there parts missing in the render with the "arms"? Look at the camera-front-right arm's mount onto the rod... :)

I can't even imagine what the total weight loss over the NAB system is... but I'd love to know. :)

What I'm the most excited about is the change to the lower part of the rails. It looks like the locking mechanism for the shoulder pad has moved from the rails to the pad itself... is that the case?

The front/rear balance looks a lot nicer here as well. It looks like the shoulder pad could get into a very comfortable position without reaching the "danger zone" where it might fall off. I agree with Evin, though... I'd love to see it reach farther back [and down around the operator's back, if possible].

Anyway, I'm impressed. This answered almost every one of my concerns from NAB. Now I'm excited...

If you could fit a sachtler plate under the pad and leave it bolted on when changing to handheld that would be ridiculous. :matrix:

Then you'd lose your low center of gravity. :wacko:

It looks to me that the tightening screw is on the inside of each arm, not centered or in front (that's the way it is on the rear arm, anyway). So you can't see the tightening mechanism on either of the front arms in the angle of the render, but based on where it is on the back, they're there.
 
Hi Red Team This is GREAT. much simpler and lighter. I'm wondering how you top mount the battery and red-drive in this config. I've made a suggestion for a different handle.

Also where does the EVF attach? It would be good to have a one that rotates on only one axis and is more burly than the noga arm from NAB.

It's really cool to watch the camera evolve so publicly and so quickly.
