Red mattebox, Red 64 gb cards, etc.

[Raul Gonzo]

Did Red talk about the release of these at the Reduser Party during NAB?
I know these things are seen with Epic prototypes, but will they be sooner that that?
Also, was there any mention of the price for the 64gb card?

Nothing more than what we have been told online here. No price yet for the cards or any definitive dates on any of these things. The mattebox looked good, but seems to have grown since the earlier prototypes, but I'm guessing that is to accommodate the 144mm diameter of the two RED Pro zooms and the 17-50's wide FOV. I like the mattebox, but it's probably a no-go for me as the stages do not rotate and it's supposed to be around $1200 while the ARRI LMB-5 kit can be had for under $1500 now.

It was huge. That was the only disappointment I had from seeing everything at the Red party. Hopefully they offer a smaller one.

thanks Jeff- do you happen to know what size filters the stages will take?
