  • 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...

16x9 is that 15mm studio or lightweight?

The Pix shown is on 15mm Lightweight Support Rods. However, the swing-away mechanism can accept a 15mm to 15mm adapter for Studio.
 
heh heh... 16x9 comes out of the woodwork :) Welcome.

We have abandoned the RED Mattebox program.

Due to the increase of capable 3rd party solutions, we see no reason to continue development of this product category. With Arri's new lineup, at more reasonable pricing, the Petroff system, Red Rock Micro, Chrosziel, Vocas and others providing solutions from top to bottom at all price points, it makes more sense for us to concentrate on camera and lens development.

congratulation - perfect decision. take all your power and ressources in Red One, Scarlet, Epic and Red Ray - these are the important things to do.
And a good chance for all other 3rd party manufacturers to make a good business.
 
Nice call, Jim. Those other vendors have been working hard and are now providing reasonably priced options, thanks to you.
 
I'll respect the decision if it's final... but I still want to urge you in the strongest possible terms to release your clip-on. That thing is hands-down awesome and wasn't more than about 5 little features from being ready to ship.

I'll buy a freaking prototype if it's on the table. That thing rocked. Losing the swing-away matte box is one thing, but your little 4x5 clip-on was a party in the shape of a matte box.

I have to agree I really wanted that clip-on mattebox. sure hold off on a studio mattebox, but i've looked and don't see a clip-on mattebox quite as cool as the REDs.

We want to encourage 3rd party development for RED cameras. We started down this path because we didn't see any/many good choices for our customers. Other companies have stepped up and we are happy about that.

GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well said message to all today's and the future RED third parties.
 
Vocas makes a very good clip on with one fixed and one rotating filterholder
(I do not work for them, I have been using their products for the last 5 years)
