Jarred could we get some updates on shipping of the weapon? Anxious to get our hands on it.

Does it look like CF weapon upgrades will happen before October?
 
Great new! 120fps for the CF or also for the magnesium bodies?

Gyro per frame data is nothing small.

True, but i thought we have that on Dragon/MX for quite a while?

When will we have a keyframeable stabilize slider in RCX?

Hehe, that would be awesome... Maybe RED should buy SteadXP? ;)

However, impressive firmware-release! Congrats RED. And one day it will be unlocked for me. :)
 
Perhaps too early to say but I'm wondering if there's 8K HD aspect ratio option along with full frame or if this will be implemented in future firmware releases.

Of course. Just like all of the other resolutions and formats. There will likely be 7.5K, 7K, and 6.5K as well. Curious to see if 6K HD "remains" what it currently is as it breaks the convention slightly by being a little shorter than 6K FF's height. So does 6K FF actually as it's not exactly DCI aspect ratio spec as it's 1.94:1 and not 1.9:1.

No bother really as I think 6K HD "works" with most S35 lenses and is convenient that way.

8K FF is DCI spec aspect ratio and that will be important once that spec is properly implemented. 8K HD is enough for full height 8K UHD or for those who call it 8K Super Hi-Vision.
 
Can I install this on my Dragon?









(I'm joking)
 
Someone please report how well the update and new features are working! I need to live vicariously through someone until my woven CF Weapon arrives.
