  • 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 :)

You asked for it!

Hey Curt, thanks. Not to push my luck or anything (:)) but is there any chance that you guys will have a prototype rig that includes a dolly anytime this year? The shot I have in mind might be cool with just pan and tilt, but I really picture it with dolly motion as well.

Bruce, I think you might need to add a roof rack to that Civic. :)
 
Pardon mee dumb ass if it's already been covered, but...

on behalf of those of us who won't have a REd camera for a long while, can we use the Inclino and Impero with our SLR lenses on HVX200, JVC HD200, SONY EX, etc.? Any reason why this FF system wouldn't work on a 1/3'' ccd camera/35mm adapter setup?
I've been tempted to order, but I need to be sure.

Jeff I'm gonna be up Arches National Park not too far from you in August shooting this type of stuff if you want to hook up?

Hmm... Moab... August... That might work.



Curt... How long will it take to fill the orders for Inclino and Impero once they start shipping? I didn't order until after NAB (I'm a procrastinator sometimes), but I kinda need the FF setup yesterday.
 
I was wondering the same thing. If I order today when would it deliver? I should have ordered when first released so my fault for waiting.

Man! I seriously can't wait for this system. Feels like the end of the month is forever away! Any thought on how much this will affect the life of batteries? Will it draw the same amount no matter what, or when it's not being used, it uses less. Forgive my limited knowledge of electronics. Just curious how this will affect my battery life.

The motors draw about 12V@ 1 amp each so a 3 motor setup would be 3 amps x 12V x 1 hr = 36 Wh. Typical battery life for the RED One is about an hour on the battery so thats about 150 Wh. Total consumption would then be 186 Wh and with a 150Wh battery that would mean 48 minutes vs 60 minutes - so basically it would decrease battery life by 10 -15 minutes (if you were running them continuously). When the motors are idle they draw nowhere near an amp so that number is probably a little steep.

Let me add my vote for the dolly...

BTW, would it fit in my Honda Civic?

We'll see. The idea is to make it break down into manageable sections of about 3-4ft in length. Ideally I'd like to get a 20' dolly in something around the size of a couple tripod cases (14" diameter and 4' longish)

We should have a dolly ready by the summer. Even if its a modified off the shelf set of tracks

No reason why it shouldnt work on those setups. As long as you have a battery supply with a Dtap connection it would work fine. The only thing we dont offer yet is the gear rings for non-cinema lenses. We are working on it but for now I'd suggest going with redrock or zacuto's solution on the lens gear adaptors.

We are planning on fulfilling initial orders up to NAB by the middle of June. Orders after NAB will definitely be the middle of June to the end of June. Like I said before, the problem isn't capacity its component lead times. We're working it out with our CM as we speak.
 
Hey Curt, Haskell here....nice to see your rig in action at NAB this year and if I was not so tapped financially from RED alone I would have placed my order then and there on the show floor. All of he View Factor toys blew me out of the water, Curt and his brothers really are delivering some next gen hardware for completely fair prices...best of luck getting them up to speed and out the door.

Thanks for the reply. Just the answer I was looking for.

So will Impero/Inclino start/stop the RED? If we does, would you get the Origo as well or not necessary?

Yes, Impero will start and stop the camera remotely. Origo is useful in a hand held configuration or on a crane but if you have a focus puller then it doesn't make sense to have both.

Thanks for the order Emmanuel!

IMO Origo is useful on the camera 24/7. Unlike a film camera Red is near silent. Which can cause a big question of focus pullers being unsure of if the camera is really rolling after they hit the record button. Origo is great because when you hit record the camera beeps 1 time reassuring you that the camera is rolling and beeps twice when you cut. This is a feauture that comes standard on most every cine camera available but was missed on the red. So in my books an Origo is a needed accessory all the time.

Hi Curt,

In order for Impero to start and stop the camera remotely and also to start speed ramp do we need any special accessories?

I have ordered Impero, Inclino, 1 bus cable and 1 Red Power cable.

Thanks
Emmanuel
 
Impero includes a small receiver unit that hooks directly to the camera using the red power cable - that passes through the tally and record start/stop functionality.
