RED FOCUS

[Jason Ramsey]

with all these easter eggs, makes me wonder what big news will be dropping next week

 

[Blaire Johnson]

Flange- Camera
Backfocus- Lens

 

[Scott Snare]

Wow! - It's great to have a calibration tool as part of the red line-up.

 

[Matt Fleming]

I believe Jarred misspoke and meant to say Red Focus is designed to calibrate the Flange Focal Distance on the camera, not the Backfocus which we all know is something you adjust on the lens...

I think this is a case of same concept by different terms. Page 10 of the Red One QSG calls the adjustment of the camera focus ring on the body "Back Focus Adjustment".

 

[Blaire Johnson]

Same concept but different adjustment methods and technical terminology. Let's try not to re-define everything that already has existing distinct definitions.

 

[Steven-Marc C.]

Looks great.
Any idea on availability?

 

[Jarred Land]

Correct... Flange distance. Some say back focus and most people seem to understand the term back focus / back focal distance better, but flange is technically accurate..

 

[Sterling Wescott]

Will there be a working model on the 14th?

 

[Ikemedia]

Berry berry nice surprise.

 

[Joseph Hutson]

I'm still waiting to see a "mini zoom lens" for the Cinema Scarlet... :thumbup:

 

[Blaire Johnson]

I'll give Mitch a call....

 

[CJ Roy]

Jarred-

Any previews of the scopes that will be displayed inside? Also, how do you adjust the flange depth on the Epic/Scarlet?

Thanks!

 

[Sanjin Jukic]

Amazing!!!

 

[Brook Willard]

Cool!

What does the reticle look like?

 

[Dan Dumouchel]

Very cool.

Somebody should do a comparison to the NULL, Optitek, and this.
I wonder if each has it's own strength?

 

[Shawn Nelson]

Hmmm, I thought Epic had an adjustment system that rendered something like this useless...I guess not. I'm looking forward to seeing how this is

 

[Shawn Nelson]

oh, and I do think it's very badass that this looks like a thermal detonator

 

[Nook Kim]

I've just purchased a LumaCheck, which is AMAZINGLY accurate. It actually lets you see the pixels on the sensor to adjust flange depth. However, I like everything I use with my Red's to say Red :devil:

 

[Jarred Land]

Hmmm, I thought Epic had an adjustment system that rendered something like this useless...I guess not. I'm looking forward to seeing how this is

There is something else pretty special about the RED FOCUS, specifically the custom target within it, that we will announce soon..

 

[Jarred Land]

Jarred-

Thanks!

Epic and Scarlet you adjust via 2 screws with an allen key through the side of the body. One screw to adjust, one screw to lock/unlock.
