Picture of a Weapon

[Joe Kleber]

...How to hold that camera?

 

[sam karr]

Yes of course but then it would mean the end of the DSMC concept.

...just my sick humor.

I wonder what the new handle looks like. ...and why is it necessary to HAVE a new one. My only gripe with the old one was that the buttons defaulted to functional!

 

[sam karr]

I realize I'm hoping that the weapon will not add anything to the image, and will just be about the ergonomy. Then I will not spend 20k on weapon (from scarlet), as I like the ergonomy as it is now. And there will be plenty of used modules for sale everywhere if I need them.
Anyway I wait for NAB. I guess there will be many new cameras with crazy DR.

...looks like either the new "switchblade" part sits on top of the display or it's all one piece.

Is it just me...or does Weapon look tiny? I know it's supposed to be smaller than an Epic...but how..here you really get a sense of how compact it is...

putting my hand over my Scarlet, the Scarlet looks like the same size as this

So is this the right side that we're looking at? I'm particularly intrigued by the round-looking shape on the front right top corner.

Now that's a good teaser. It looks like the side is more like a studio camera. It's much more AC friendly allowing much more control from that side. Looks a like the side handle mixed with the switch blade.

From that picture the camera looks just a little longer than the PL Mount too.

 

[Paul Russell]

I think that's the front, and the lens/sensor are offset to one side.
i might be wrong.

Sorry, It is date night tonight

Jarred, surely you can sneak in one more night out with the gang brfore your next datenight.

C'mon, tell us more about Dragon-X, or whatever it will be named. 8K, 9K, 10K?

 

[Charles Bergquist]

...reusing the water housing is out, damn.

Looks like the Weapon needs some serious cooling. Fans are out, and a jet turbine on top in stead ;-)

 

[Jonathan Stevenson]

Every glimpse we get of this thing confuses me more. Or I guess "intrigue" is the correct word.

 

[Matt Hall]

Wireless FF on the side? That would be cool

 

[Patrick Grossien]

switchblade redesign with larger dial and screen offset to the left.

 

[Bérenger Brillante]

On the other Weapon pictures, it seemed they have chopped off the rear part, but here is not.
If it is the weapon it means the outputs we saw earlier (on the closeup, and the "guy trying to steal it discretly") are a module which seems weird as output are pretty basic.

Probably a new and better switchblade on a Scarlet. It reminds me of the side cheese plate from Action products btw

 

[Bob Gundu]

Jarred has mentioned that the outputs will be on a module. And there will be different modules with different outputs depending on your needs. This will keep the camera small for certain situations.

Oh I missed that part ! Thanks Bob

Check on previous post of what looks like focus slider control on a touchscreen along with the shutter, ISO, and frame rate.

 

[Neil Dearman]

My worry is the price what do you think the price for people who got there dragon upgrade before NAB?

 

[Adam Montville]

I have a feeling it's going to be another 10K investment... But that's just me. And that does include 1 mini mag + module, for the people coming from 1.8". This thing can't be cheap, no matter how much I wish it to be.

I won't be able to put down another $9,500, if the cost is close to that again.
