OFFHOLLYWOOD OMOD Modules for RED WEAPON

Stacey Spears said:


I think the cheapest module will be the Jet Pack.

I was referring to one of the OMODS they may announce, I think I remember it being announced that they were going to do a few different versions at different price points, for a few different needs. And it would be for me kind of exciting for one to fit around my budget. But it would have to beat out the Base I/O V-lock expander for me as far as functionality and value for me to switch. Just excited about what may come.

Lowest cost OMODs are $2499. (MSRP - dealers have some margin, so it's possible you can get a bit of discounts from dealers)

They work with any and all DSMC2 battery modules. They work on any DSMC2 camera - Raven, Weapon, Scarlet-W.

We will be releasing our own battery modules after OMODs start shipping, but by design, we are NOT combining the battery plate on the OMOD so that you have the ability to directly attach a wireless video transmitter between the OMOD and battery module with no cables. And trust me - there are some exciting wireless video / streaming technologies brewing from camp Teradek.

I have mentioned before - we are focused on providing integration, features and functionality that are not currently available from RED. You are not going to see something from us that is the same as an existing RED product - just cheaper. That said, we have been working very hard to the get OMOD prices down and provide more options - (one of the reason have not been posting as the details). If you don't need any functionality or features beyond the the Base I/O from RED, you won't need an OMOD.

Folks in the OMOD Early Adopter program will be getting detailed update emails within the next day or so - and we are working on setting up a global reseller channel - specifically targeting all the authorized dealers for RED which are are pre-approving as OMOD dealers.

We start shipping in Feb.
 
If $2,499 is the price of the Mini, then the OMOD's are going to see lot's of DSMC2 backs... :)

For me it will be for sure two units a Mini and one of the super OMOD's, just need to wait it out and truly understand their complexity and best combo for my uses... On both Wireless and Lens control... Awaiting news.
 
Thank you for the response Mark. Excited for the community to get their hands on the OMOD's!

I may be horribly wrong, but wasn't the Mini an early concept that was superseded by the larger lineup? (shown in the attached image). Or is it the same thing with simply a different name?

Either way, from what I understand, the XLR module is the only one that doesn't use the main OMOD engine. Hopefully that implies that it's the cheapest at $2500. :)

You are are correct. There is no "mini". They are all lean and mean :)

POE does not have the OMOD engine either - and that is also $2499. (yes, XLR is $2499) POE is wireless lens control via RTmotion - EF lenses or single axis PL motor - and you can direct attach TWO RTmotion thumbwheels for focus and iris - or control single axis PL mount with a thumb controller.
 
Man $2499? Thats definitely going on the Raven. Now to see what you guys have in store for my Weapon. Any chance you're working on any of them in CF to match?

Been in Mauritius shooting for the last 5 months with very limited net, so I didn't know this... :)
 
OMOD is the reason that I bought this camera. Motion control, wireless, color management in one? That can't be cheap. But it's what has the potential to make this the camera of the future. I don't want the cheapest one, because I can already find ways to rig accessories uncomfortably to its tiny little real estate-restricted Weapon body. I probably want the one with the most functionality - with all those goodies possible, it won't be cheap, but still likely to be cheaper than purchasing all of that functionality separately - and definitely more streamlined. If Offhollywood pull this off, it could be almost as revolutionizing as RED itself. Imagine a gack-free camera that still does more than what your current camera can already do...the mind boggles....

Any idea when the battery modules will be ready? Scarlet-Ws start shipping next month, and there doesnt seem to be much justification in buying anything other than the OMOD battery plate since it's the only one compatible with the wireless OMOD that I intend to get at a later date.

It looks like I wont have any way to power my Scarlet-W except AC until the OMOD battery plates are ready! Please hurry! lol

+1, it needs to match !
I will probably buy some CFlike stickers if the Omod doesn't get too hot.

We will show DSMC2 battery modules at NAB - MAYBE we can ship same time - most likely right after NAB - but PLEASE buy RED battery module to get yourself off the ground and then if you want one of ours - just flip the RED one to another REDUSER. Obviously you can power the OMOD/CAMERA with any existing battery plate for EPIC/SCARLET on rods with the LEMO connector into the OMOD as well to hold you over. But I would strongly suggest you get an ET DSMC battery plate to get going - and then just sell it if your prefer ours.

Mark, so if I'm getting Poe, will the power pass through an externally mounted battery plate through the camera to power poe?

I'm wondering about this as well. Great price on these Mark! Surprising to get wireless lens control on the low(er) end model.

If you have an externally mounted battery plate - or AC power source - or battery block - you can connect to the OMOD with the 6-pin LEMO and the OMOD passes power to the camera. There is a 6-pin LEMO on every OMOD for DC input.

So ... POE powers the camera.

Or .. attach ANY DSMC2 battery module and power POE (or any OMOD) and that OMOD will power the camera.
