  • 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 :)

Raven Queue Put Together

Just picked #1313 up from RedNYC built the camera and turned it on then had to immediately leave for a prepro meeting. Can't thank the Red team enough though unbelievable turnaround and assistance. I'll post some pictures later tonight. :)
 
How long from your allocation/payment until RED NYC delivery? Was thinking about going that route as well.

I paid in advance and they shipped same night as my allocation email overnight to the store. Figured taking care of the payment processing would help with cutting a few days off the turnaround.

Smart man.

Haha, my bad. I've been crazy busy this week with shoots. I didn't actually remember to take a photo of the setup but here are a few grabs of footage from this weekend. Apologize for the quality they are just some jpgs that I sent to the colorist as a reference.

It's acutally a little surprising to me that people are using the Raven so soon on productions after receiving it....but I suppose if you used one RED camera the Raven will feel right at home. For me since I've not used a RED camera yet, I plan on spending at least a few weeks with it testing everything out and figuring out my post process.

Yeah probably the safe bet, it's my first Red that I've actually owned, but I've been renting and burrowing since the Red One, also I figured a relaxed set on a short film would be a good way for me to break it in practically. Had a Scarlet on the back burner in case things went wrong.
 
Any good guessing on an October 8 allocation? I just need some guesstimates to soothe my soul. It's down to the wire now and I am dyyyyyyying.

Received mine yesterday! Picked it up at the RED HQ. Got to meet some hella cool peeps! Special thanks to Heather for taking care of me as well as Clark and Hunter :thumbsup:

Here are some shots with the Canon 16-35mm L II and a V-Mount battery:

For some reason, I would have to jiggle the battery to turn on the camera. The DC plug works fine though. I'll have to test it with other batteries when I can get a hold of one. Oh and there is no hex key to screw in the Universal handle; just one for the monitor FYI.

Did you try the little star switch on the top of the v-mount expander?

Heck yeah! 9/29 allocation reported and a new Raven pic in the same day :)

Andrew - you should have let me know, I woulda stopped by on my lunch break to see you get it in person (kidding) ha! Clark is the man though.

Yeah I set it to the clear star and it works. I did some testing last night and the camera shuts off when I "bump" the battery. So it's definitely a connection issue between the Base I/O expander and the battery. Now the question is, is it the battery or the module? I'll try to borrow some from someone over the weekend. I'm 95% sure it's the battery.

Haha, yeah I saw him when I was there (other workers pointed him out) but he was busy talking to someone. I didn't want to bother him >_<

Here is a shot of the front desk. I would have taken more photos but my phone died soon after x_x:

Yeah I've used like 4 different brands of v-mounts (Dyna, Swit etc) on my Raven with no issues - sounds like maybe that battery is a little too big/ doesn't fit properly on the module maybe?

It's basically the same one this guy has:

Confirmed this battery on DSMC2. MAXOAK 158WH with charger (also shows %) for $239.99. Fits like a glove. http://www.amazon.com/MAXOAK-10700m...qid=1461433908&sr=8-2&keywords=maxoak+v+mount

I'm guessing the 177wh will fit as well. Same size. http://www.amazon.com/MAXOAK-12000m...qid=1461433908&sr=8-1&keywords=maxoak+v+mount

The battery fits, I just think it isn't seated correctly or the connectors aren't the greatest. Anyways, for those interested, I PMd Dan and he said he had no issues. I'm returning the battery and going to try another one.
Anyone in the SoCal 626 area have a battery we can test? :biggrin:

It can be a bad battery or bad connectors on the battery. If the battery does not give enough juice camera behaves rather odd, turn itself of etc.
If its the connectors it can help to Spray some connection fluid on the battery connectors or just pinch them just slightly with a pair of pliers.
