Will this Speed Booster work on the RAVEN?

Sorry if this question is redundant, will the booster be available for install on Ravens? I know we don't have changeable mounts, but would you offer factory replacement? If so, take my money!

Thanks for always stepping up the game!

Not likely. The Raven uses a completely different chassis which doesn't provide the sub-mount that we're utilizing.

Submount being interchangeable mount, or swappable OLPFs?

I'm not going to push out a product just to be first to market.

That attitude is what put Apple ahead, and it's what keeps them there. ;-)

I would love a PL mount version for my epic-w and Lomo 2x anamorphic set. Is this do-able?

Hey Craig, no...these would be compatible only over 75mm, also most PL mounted lenses have a rear element protruding deep in the mount...

Raven is fixed mount and olpf, so no way to attach a "new" mount from Duclos or anyone else

I wasn’t asking for Raven’s sake, but DSMC1/Dragon/MX compatibility (re: just swappable mount is needed and/or swappable OLPF as well.)

 

[Craig Lees]

Tomasso, not even by taking the red olpf out inserting it the same Olpf into the booster itself to save room? Obviously all lenses are different (especially rehoused ANA lomo's, my 35 doesn't fit on Alexa Mini as the internal ND blocks it). Massively hoping as $80k for the Monstro brain is a whole heap of change!

Matthew,

Will the FF->S35 Focal reducer need special OLPFs? Or can we use the ones we were supplied with by RED with our camera purchase?

So cool! I haven't been able to use mine on a VV sensor yet. I hope you post some short clips, these stills are a great tease.

The idea is "nope". You should be able to use it as is. We're having a small meeting next week discussing where things are at, but this should be a 2018 thingy for sure.

What MF lenses will this mount???

 

[Jake Wilganowski]

Is this for the mini also? I know there is one company working on one...

 

[Jacek Zakowicz]

A customer just ordered one for his Dragon from us.
The SB is on the way- we are making the lens board for Red system now...

 

[Mike P.]

Phil, I've ask, but still haven't heard anything; will the duclos focal reducer work with DSMC1/MX?

I'm presuming it will, if it works as a plug and play with DSMC2 without interfering with the OLPF like other options.

Great to see others delivering!
How are you able to change the flange distance that much?
