  • 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 :)

RED Mattebox...

Arri Mattebox

Arri Mattebox

There is a new Arri mattebox out there.. I hear the proto-type is completed, and there's another one as well.

I'm not sure how much I am allowed to say...

But, they will not be out for a while (more than 2 months).

When they are, hopefully will be able to arrange something for RED users.
I've also got something working with the lighting division. But still not ready yet.

Yes, focus on lenses!!

So about the 50-150mm... What's happening there?? Redesign, new parts??

Jarred, you seem to be nicely on the inside. Any news is better than silence!
 
Although I think it is extremely good to focus on delivering cameras, I also think that certain accessories, as important as the matte box, (masked for red lenses),clip on, remote control, etc should be available from red. I trust and have seen the third party stuff, and I think that is really good, (probably I'll have to buy some of it too!!) but the commitment that you (RED) have shown developing everything you put out in the market is invaluable. In other words, I hope once you have the camera production up and running smoothly, we will see a series of accessories developed in a brand new way that only you have been able to do. Looking forward to whatever comes next.
Cheers.
 
Anyone have any photo's of the Arri mattebox prototypes?

Or any other info not already discussed in this thread?

Thanks.

There was an Arri prototype matte box at NAB, but it was designed for prosumer cameras. Is that the one you're referring to, Jay?

Chrosziel 450-__ will not work with RED lenses as far as I know.
The Chrosziel is 110mm rear and the RED 18-50 and 50-150 are both 114mm (the 300mm is 117mm).
 
Sorry to chime in late; just got back from traveling.

I think it's great that RED has decided to focus more on its core products. Spreading resources too thin can lead to delays and things falling through the cracks. The speed of development at RED is so fast that diluting the vision is not a good thing.

Arri has many current products (which Abel sells at special pricing to redusers) that work well with the RED. The MB20-II is a prime example, as is the LMB-15, which is a clip-on that is very much like the design of the prototype RED clip-on. There's also the big boy MB-14 for those really huge lenses.

Arri has a new prototype clip-on or rod-mount mattebox which was developed in consultation with Abel. It was designed specifically to work with the Sony PMW-EX1 but turned out so nice that it can be used for many other cameras. We showed it at our NAB booth and response has been very enthusiastic. Arri is doing some slight refinements to the initial prototype design and then we'll be rolling them out. When the refinements are complete we will see about compatibility with various lenses on the RED One. At this time I'm confident that it will work with most primes, but we don't want to make any promises before testing. Pricing has also not yet been determined, but it will be below even the cost of the LMB-15. When we know more you will know more.
 
Thanks for the info Eric & Mitch.

Mitch, any idea on price range of the new ARRI mattebox targeted toward the EX1 range of cameras?
 
It boggles me that anyone is suggesting Arri would release a lineup of anything that's in line with Red pricing. I'd love to see it, but it would require them creating an entirely different pricing model.
 
As I said, there is no official pricing yet, but I think you'll be pleased. It will be significantly less than other matteboxes, even significantly less than the LMB-15, which is clip-on only.
 
Mitch,

Any indication on when ARRI will announce their new pricing?

You are correct. One solution is the Chrosziel 412-02F130 (Clamp-on). Has an opening of Ø130mm. Works with multiple lenses through the use of step-rings.

You can add the new Chrosziel DSW-400 for swing-away capabilities.
 
Holly Mother... my chrosziel is getting happy...but I'm litle blue...
Any other matte advice fellas?
Thank You Jim...
