(Physical) Size of Epic?

[Jason Murphy]

I know that Epic is smaller and lighter than the RED One, but it's hard to tell from the promo photos/renders what size it actually is.

So (with, of course, the caveat that things are likely to change), can anyone who who was at NAB give dimensions for the (current) camera body? Just curious, and couldn't find the info elsewhere.

Also, are there any shots out there of the three cameras (One, Epic, Scarlet) next to each other for comparison's sake?

Thanks.

I will try my best to give you an idea.
Next to the RED ONE
its more squreish if thats even a word.
Id say 35% to 40% shorter in length but a touch taller not much by maybe an inch or two?
I looks like a brick in some ways.
You can see some pics here

Its not much but its better than nothing.
So for sure shorter but a little taller and more square.
As far as the Scarlet
it does fit in my pocket.
My jacket pocket.
Its hard to compare to anything else because there is nothing really out there like it.
It is not the size of a Circuit city or Best Buy camera if that helps. It is larger.
But its also not as big as a DVX-100
Its skinny
looks like an over grown Spot meter.

Hope that helps somewhat.

Thanks, Luis. It does indeed help somewhat. The thing that's weirding me out here (in a good way) is that in terms of length, height and weight, the Epic seems to be almost the same size as my Bolex (though it looks to be about 1.5-2 times wider).

Cramming 5K into that form factor is pretty damn impressive if you ask me.

you are correct about the width but it was also a 1/3 to 1/2 shorter than a bolex (at least mine).

When judging the Epic configuration it's important to remember the X wing fighter appearance of the early RED one!!!

Epic vs. One: ? Size matters, weight matters. Would be nice if the One would be available in the housing of the Epic ...
Just a wish ...
(May be also reducing production costs for Red ... )

right, who knows what it will be like in the end...

going on the last published renders I'd say Epic has grown since NAB.
It looked longer than it was at NAB.
