Here's some pics from today - taken 52 stories directly above the Apple store on 59th Street, on the roof of the GM building.

Testing a few things out before a technology demonstration this Saturday and Sunday with a company called AOPTIX http://www.aoptix.com/.

Aoptix has a technology that allow the transmission of multiple streams of HD to be beamed point-to-point via laser. Ths will be used by NBC in the Beijing Olympics.

We'll be shooting some 4K footage of the Men's Marathon trials on Sat. and the NY Marathon on Sunday with BOND (Red #0007) from the roof of the GM Building using 800mm (400mm Canon + 2X) and beaming 720 HD-SDI over a laser to a truck on the other side of the park. Bond is one of many camera shooting the trials and the marathon - all beaming over a laser beam.

We went up today to check it out - and yeah, we'll be back with O'Connor 2060 and some solid Ronford legs - the wind BLOWS up there!!

Check out the shot of the LCD which shows the kids playing hockey in the park far below!!
 
You guys are doing awesome stuff with your camera... I'm jealous of all the fun you're having! :)
 
That is truly inspirational!! I am looking forward to Birger mount so I can make use of my 400mm f/2.8L IS and 600mm f/4L IS (aka the Super Soul Sucker)
 
Damn, that's pretty sweet. I want a new life. :)
 
If I saw someone looking at me with that rig I would be scared shitless. RED looks like a super advance turret mounted laser canon!!
 
Yeah I thougt so too. Good that homeland didn't see you. The RED beast right in front of the empire state building. A stinger unit looks harmles in compare.

Crazy times.
cheers

EVF is MUST, MUST, MUST, MUST have.

Fantastic. I have some feedback re: meters - just haven't had time to email the red team with them - but, yeah, once you go EVF - you will never go back -
 
Get more closer!

Get more closer!

Even to get more closer with

Carl_Zeiss_Jena_Fern%23893C90.jpg

Carls Zeiss Jena 500mm f/8 M42+Nikon adapter+2X extender on RED Nikon F = 1000mm is extremely sharp lens vintage variant.

or go with new lens even more extreme like Leica Apo Telyt R Zoom 280-800mm because:
"This unique modular system covers the range from 280 to 800 mm, and, with the LEICA APO-EXTENDER-R 2x even up to 1,600 mm."

How to mount this lens on RED?

Either you go Birger EOS RED mount+Leica R adapter

or

you order/rent P+S Technik Leica APO-Telyt PL Conversion because they make conversion from Leica R to PL mount.

And don't forget that quality of LEICA glass is definitely better than Zeiss, Cooke, Canon or what else.

Dalsa did some Leica R lens conversions for Origin recently and it's possible to rent those lenses too.
 
Nice stuff Sanjin - the lens in the photos is Canon 400mm PL mount 2.8 - (then loose 2 on stops on 2X)

rented from Abel Cine Tech NY.
 
Mark,

find P+S Technik Leica APO-Telyt PL Conversion to rent and you get 800mm without loosing any stop (especially for night shots).

FEDEX can ship you the lens from Europe overnight.

One more alternative:

If you have possibility to get Birger EOS beta RED mount than you go to the first shop around a corner and get
Sigma 50-500mm APO-DG f4-6.3 and with 2x extender and you are already in 1000mm, but also loosing about 2 stops.
It also has manual iris control in Nikon F variant.

Sigma 50-500mm APO-DG f4-6.3 a great telephoto lens for the buck.
