  • 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 :)

October 30th Announcement Feedback

Hmm

Hmm

I can't imagine it being a year for the fixed lens scarlet, no way, no how. That's really pessimistic. If they're doing at all well on it, they are ironing out details, hopefully, that will make it ready out of the box, which is what it sounds like to me, and that's one reason for the delay.

I would certainly hope it will be available no later than six months from now. I am not sure what workflow I'll go with or camera for my feature if they can't get the S35 out in time. I was aiming to shoot July 1, 2010. We'll see what happens. I'd be ok with using a RED One of course too, but would rather not. I'd rather just own the camera.

Jarred,

Can the PL mount still be shimmed?

The tolerance would have to be pretty tight to make focus perfect on every brain.

The actual Sensor is adjustable on multiple axis... no more shimming or adjusting the mounts :)
 
I'm diggin' the RED STATION. Does it come just like we see in the render or is it the Station base unit (on the bottom) and we stack or daisy-chain multiple media modules to fit our needs?
 
Forgive the question, as if it was specifically said before it passed me by :)

There is no upgrade path to the Epic 645?? Meaning if a RED ONE owner wants to wait for the release of the Epic 645 to upgrade its R1 to IT can He not Make good on Stage TWO or Stage Three??

Or this Stages are only for the Epic-X?!?

Can't help feel disappointed. I've been interested in buying the Scarlet and I learned nothing from this announcement about that product. Though it very much seemed like we would

At some point I think someone Red has to commit what the Scarlet is. It can't do everything. And so be it. No one is going to say no to new features but you do the best you can, offer what you can and stick by it. I don't want a 2015 camera announced in 2010 to be delivered in 2015. I want the best 2010 camera.

It also feels like people who didn't get the Red will be punished for it. This feels like a sorority. I am waiting for some kind of initiation. Is it really so hard for a new user to get a new product without being told how much they lack in commitment because they weren't there in the very first stages?

i am sure everyone here is upset that we don't have that concrete release date but i'll argue for red here because they are really breaking down barriers here by trying to give consumers a product for 1/10th of the cost of it's nearest competition. the red one is available today, or you could go buy a sony f35 for 200k.
 
am I the only one flipping out about what jim is including for us RED owners? Some fantastic freebies in there for almost every option. He's really rewarding us early adopters.

thanks jim
 
Happy with what I have seen... Great work RED team!

So Jarred whats with the Red Station or Drives stack? will that work along side with red ray? or totally off track...
 
Bomb EVF availability? Have I missed this? It's already in beta so should be available soon. Sorry if this has been answered. Only have an iPhone currently.

Why,

As an R1 owner you get an EPIC-X version of an R1 for $10.5K. If you did not own a RED One, you could buy the brain for 28K.

You feel cheated?

I'm confused....

Whoa - that sounds DANGEROUS... Anxious to see how that's done. Is that something that can be done by the user? :-/
 
That 5-axis sensor adjustment is a huge deal. Back-focus has been our #1 problem with RED One - even after overhauls on both our bodies.

I can feel my days of excuse-making and beta-camera-buck-passing rapidly drawing to a close....until I get my Tattoo :)

Yeah, I can't believe all the stuff that's included in Stage three. It seems like Epic-X is shootable right out of the box. It is mighty generous of RED. Thanks!:Angel_anim:
 
M Hsu....

Yes, I am very happy with the "reward"! As long as we get to choose when to exercise the option choice:) If I can swing it (translated: start earning $$ with my Red) then I will go for curtain #2, with the sensor upgrade for my Red at some point.
 
Jarred will we still see some M-X stills you said we would see today?? :rolleyes:
 
Any news about the Red FF Electronic Lenses? Should we not expect those 'til the FF35 brains roll around?

But seriously, I wonder what the "3 axis internal motion sensor" is for ?
Click to expand...

When I joined this forum, I had absolutely no idea about the various work flows and file formats in the RED universe, but in my first post ever I was wondering if the metadata in the file format could be enhanced to include motion data for image stabilization and camera tracking purposes in the post production.

http://reduser.net/forum/showthread.php?t=23733

I got a lot of the technical terms wrong, but you get my drift.

Not sure if today's announcement about enhanced metadata and motion sensors have anything to do with this. I can think of a dozen other uses for them as well.
 
FWIW

FWIW

FWIW Tony several Sony cameras move the sensor to adjust back focus.

More generally...

I'm a happy boy, thanks Red, at 1644 I likely won't get a chance to be in the beta pool, but look forward to Stage 2.

Cheers, and congrats,

Steve
