  • 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 :)

PV mount for Epic?

Beat me too it!

But seriously, try P and S Technic. They did IMS for Red 1. PL/PV/BNCR etc. I bought one and then Red stated it invalidated warrantee, so I sold it to PV at a loss.

I have a PV mount for my RED, and I could adapt it to fit the Epic, but I don't have my Epic yet!!!

Sigh . . .
 
If you rent a set of PV lenses from Panavision then they can put a PV mount on your Epic.
If you have the old RED One PV mount you may be able to modify it onto your Epic but it is not a fast changeover
 
PV mount you need only if you would work with Panavision made lenses.

But Panavision lenses you can't owe any time (except a couple of old PV rehoused lenses).

All that means you have to rent it.

So in that case if you want and also you would be able to pay for it than Panavision will provide you everything you want,

also PV to Epic or Scarlet mount officially certified by RED with lenses of your choice immediately if they are available.

Don't forgot that Panavision is still best film or digital rental company worldwide.

Btw, I don't work for PV or even RED and all that is based on what I saw, heard and confirmed by several (consulting) partners.

Peter,

perhaps if you are ASC they might. I spoke to PV UK about Epic and PV Anamorphics and they will only rent the lenses and mounts out with one of their cameras. Maybe one day I can get BSC and they may consider it?

Cheers,

I'd like to revive this thread.
I got a call from my friends at Panavision New York, looking to subrent an Epic from me.
Any third party solutions out there?
Cheers,
Harry
 
I just lost out of a camera rental for a BMW commercial because the director is shooting on Primos and even though my camera was initially booked, Panavision said they cannot put their PV mount on a camera not owned by Panavision. This apparently is their international policy. But Peter's comment here seems to suggest otherwise. Has anyone had a PV mount on their Epic?
 
Bringing this back to life again - what's the word on a PV mount for the Epic? Assuming PV's policy about not putting mounts on other folks' cameras still stands?
