Picture of a Weapon

[Isaac Marchionna]

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

Why even conjecture at this point. It won't be cheap if it's a body redesign that requires new cage, accessories, modules, and most importantly mags. Until the price is announced people seem dead set to whip themselves into a frenzy and just stressing themselves out.

After CF Weapons are 'rolled out ==> Can I suggest reviewing (or reaching out to) what Magico engineers have been up to:

+) They are using Graphene (in their Magico Q7 Mk ii) for there midrange drive unit.

They're based in CA.

(For the same weight : Graphene 100 - 200 times stronger than steel).

09 16 35 39 41, 18 ... this isn't some sort of clockwise route through the States of the USA?

Does this relate to the Weapon?

My understanding is that there is no commercial production of graphene in a form that's useful for a large structural body. THe Magico Q7 is an audiophile product which is to say there is a 99.9% chance it's just technobabble bullshit for people with more money than sense.

Haha. Funny article.

As you mentioned Beryllium:
- Manufacturers were looking for uses for it. Its an immensely strong element ... but bit tricky to work worth as it is hazardous.
- But it is crazy light (Hydrogen,Helium,Lithium,Beryllium,Boron,Carbon) - but with incredible stiffness to weight
- Focal initially used them in tweeters - successfully pushing the mechanical resonance (ie High Q ringing) well above the audible range. Their 'silky quality' could be attributable to vanishingly low levels of distortion (as the membrane could move like a piston at 20kHz)
- One issue however ... was how to remove the huge amounts of Heat (which limited the sound pressure you could use them at)

Magico : Their engineers have managed to Diamond coat their own Beryllium tweeters. (Diamond in addition to being super hard - is the 'gold' standard for heat transfer). And so they've created Another incredible composite - paving the way for other companies to utilise it, and explore the process used.

[EDIT 1 : Removed Off Thread comments]
[EDIT 2: More thoughts on Graphene composites]

The outside Brain material could be a HBn-Graphene derivative (unbelievably Stong and Tough).
Inside Brain material could be 3hBN or MoS2-Graphene composite (Strong and Stiff)

To simulate - hop on over to Nature Communications to reduce the trial and error testing.

For a summary graph on some of the composites tested :

[EDIT 3] If Graphene flakes were embedded in a Oxygen_&_Light hardening suspension material .... have a look at the 3D print tech used in "Continuous Liquid Interface Production" ... Brains might be '3D printable'.

It seems obvious to me that the side handle's functionality has now been inculcated into the main body

.... and it seems RED has now decided that some kind of screen is necessary. I expect that you will be able to monitor from it but we will still need a 7 inch. I expect RED will be phasing out the 5 inch touch screen.

They phased out the 5 inch months ago.

Ok. This is looking like a removable, wireless version of a switchblade that fits into a pocket on the side of the camera.
The camera looks like a slightly smaller brain, but with much improved cooling, i.e. no front fan, and built in front microphones.
Implied or stated that back will accept modules directly.
Fewer connectors on the brain, use the modules for connections.
Anybody glean anything else?

Cleaned up the thread a bit.. went way off topic.

Instead of having a heated Chevy vs. Ford fist fight lets just start stuff on fire to get the anger out.. Worked for me.

Nice!

New Rig? A tease of some sort?

Isn't that a camera mount? A new motion PL mount?

Jarred apparently can use a PL mount for various purposes... sometimes as a volcano, sometimes as a tripod ball head mount, or simply as a fire breathing DRAGON's nest

so mini ....

Liked the song, just not sure where it came from (i.e. what nation). And for those who aren't aware, that is powwow music. Would love to see some vids with A Tribe Called Red...have a listen to Electric Powwow Drum:

So everyone is fixated on a few red herrings... Music, the lens mount, etc.

What was it shot on??? Let's talk about the images; that are probably / most likely from a WPN?!?!

 

[Jake Wilganowski]

Hoping for phantom style burst, and maybe scaled raw?

 

[David Battistella]

The Fire Chief is getting primal. There is so much in there. Shutter speed, Varispeed, framerate, aspect ratio, DR, on and on and on.

I'm ready to smear on the warpaint after that!
Or maybe even smoke a peace pipe.

 

[Glen Powell]

It'd still be a Dragon sensor, though...

Yes - totally understood.

But Jared has indicated through past posts that the Engineers have made a number of breakthroughs... perhaps unlocking some added power from the existing Dragon.

 

[Kemalettin Sert]

this must be different than current PL mount.
