  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

PRO IO update

That's much cheaper than a DSMC backpack ($1,200) plus backpack quickplate ($650) plus your new adapter (likely at least $200), a total of over $2,000.
I'm in, no question! :sifone:

No reason we can't do both if you round up all your friends and get them to commit. :)

Your adaptor is still a cool thing for mounting the backpack cheeseplate - or the backpack quickplate, for those who don't want to buy both.
Thanks for listening! I hope I'll get some votes for my idea here... :laugh:
 
If you had an Anton Bauer version, I'd be soooooo interested. I loved my Red Bricks for the punch they provided, but the connections were never as secure as I've experienced with gold mount. I know it's not in your product line, but you guys have pulled more amazing rabbits out of your collective hat, so please don't fault me for asking...

Best,
Clint

They had connection problems at the beginning of the RED ONE history. But they updated their quickplates. And since then I've had zero issues.
 
Oh no! What is the Red port doing on the top?

I have my Anton/Bauer plate mounted to the top via short 19mm rods and extending out the back. This leaves the Redmote and the connectors at the bottom rear of the camera free. That port is looking like it's right in the way of the battery and I can't imagine that anyone can make an extended top cheeseplate with that port there. My module is sitting in customs right now (Red never seem to supply the correct paperwork for Canadian customs) so I'll see when it arrives but I have a real bad feeling about this.

Can anyone confirm/deny that problem? I need to go breathe into paper bag until it gets here.

Why couldn't they just make a cut-out for the port like they do for the Redmote antenna on the brain's cheeseplates?

As for your battery mount, I guess we'll just have to wait and see, though.

It has always been there in the photos I've seen. I got mine Friday and I have to say that I really like the port on top. Its actually quite easy to make a top plate with a cutout (I threw one of my old VF Epic-M top plates on as a lark and cutout is a match fit). The port lemo orientation sends a right angle EVF/LCD cable straight back and it does take up a fair bit of room. This wont be ideal for some. But a straight EVF/LCD cable is sweet. I find this is the most useful and allows the easiest cabling to where I am putting my touch screen and EVF. IMO a side mount port would have caused a straight EVF cable to stick out way too far. A right angle cable would take up a lot of room along the side and potentially interfere with all the other inputs. The top position gives it a lot of flexibility. I like it.
 
I don't mind the LCD/EVF port being on top, it think that's where it should be. I just wished the right angle cables weren't directed toward the rear of the camera, going forward or even to one side or the other would work better for me.

I am hoping you are able to cough up a full ProRes not just a little flem h.264.... just to clear your chest ;)

Fingers crossed here!

Cheers,

For Prores I was hoping for an inboard RGB record mode... Look Ma'... No module required.

I know RED is all about RAW files but the door's beeing open already with external recording mode in recent firmware. Might be possible on Epic maybe to get RAW + prores hopefully instead of an HDR record mode. Maybe I'm just dreaming here...

There's a difference between having the camera set to output a clean feed and send out the trigger flags over SDI and actually having the appropriate hardware on board for efficient ProRes or DNxHD compression. I'm not saying it's impossible, but the hardware may not be there inside. The innards of the camera have been optimized for Redcode compression in a very, very, very specialized. way.

Now given the size of some external recorders (cough HyperDeck Shuttle 2) maybe we could see not just a rear module proxy solution, but a replacement for the side SSD that would incorporate those functions with a slightly larger side bump?

Just a thought
