What size is Scarlet?

[Mark A. Beal]

I'm trying to get a sense of what size the Scarlet model was and it's hard to tell from the photos I've seen. Those of you that have actually seen it -- can you compare it to something for reference? What would you guestimate the front of the lens would be if it had filter threads? What common objects could you compare its overall size to? And so on.

I saw the protoype block at NAB- which is honestly likely not to bear much resemblance to whatever they decide to ship in 2009. It's closer in size to a consumer AVCHD camera than say an HVX200 or an EX1.

But that changes when you add in a matte box and the outboard monitor. The main barrel appears to be about as large as the RED One EVF with a handle attached to the rear. I wouldn't call it "pocket" unless you mean the pocket of a large trench coat or a camera jacket though.
