Megan Fox got photographed for Esquire with a Red One. First Photoshot I know from done with a Motion Camera.

Get the insides

…and a better Look at the Fixed Scarlet.

This is a Good Look at what I think is the Fixed Scarlet Kit. Maybe not exactly, but in general. The LCD may be another one (possibly the one that slaps to the Body of the Cam directly from the renders), but yeah. The Brain plus the Handle(with an included Battery), a RedMote, the CF-Card Slot and an LCD to monitor your Stuff. Sounds like an everything is there Bundle.

Her you’ve got a better Look at the CF-Module, the LCD that will probably change and the RedMote. I think the LCD will be mounted on top of the Cam, directly to the Body, with an LCD like on this picture.

This Pic gives you a better Idea what the Handle will bring into the Package. First of all that’s the Battery for the Cam. You could also get a Module to stick between Brain and RedMote, but in the Kit this will be the Power Source. As you can see the Handle has the same Controles that the RedMote provides. The Rec Button is on Front of the Handle, the Display (a smaller one) on top.

More Photos of the Fixed Scarlet and every other Scarlet or Epic can be found in this Thread at Scarletuser.net . And thanks to Peter Majtan for allowing me to use some of his pics here.

Want some more Photos of NAB2009 and the RedUser Party. Click on the Image to get to the fxguide fxphd group pool in a fancy flash slideshow. Lot’s of goodies to watch there.

Update, see Comments! Thanks Scott!

Wow, NAB2009 gets hot. This is the latest Twitter retweeted by 5tu aka. Stu Maschwitz from ProLost. It says:

RT @janakic Got word from RED that S35 models of Epic and Scarlet will be the first out. In September. Can’t wait! http://twitpic.com/3sy99

So S35 Epic and Scarlet in September. Cool. But what about the real Scarlet Fans? What about the ones that wanted a fixed and havn’t changed like a flag in the Wind. What about me

No, everything is cool. Let it come.

Update! Looks like the Tweet is a false Information. I need a Contact-Person at Red to clarify stuff like that

Here’s some Gearporn Galore form the RedUser Party. I’ve just put the Images of the Cams up here, as I see no need to look at the empty Ballroom. Feel free to surf the Thread at RedUser to watch it

First of a Render Jim posted for the ones waiting for Info from the RedUser Party.

Lets start off with the fixed Scarlet, as this is my thing really. Maybe this is the Fixed Kit? A Grip, a Redmote, a Monitor? If the CF-Slot is build into the Brain this could be it. Not the baddest Package for 3750$. But this is of cause pure speculation. And I need an EVF per Scarlet anyhow.

A look from the other Site, some Brains and a Scarlet in DSLR Configutation. If the Fixed Kit up there has the same CF Slot this really looks like a decent package. But lets move on.

Closeup of the Scarlet DSLR Config. Not sure about the Viewfinder at the left side, And it doesn’t look to be mountable on Top. What’s about a 3D-Kit? Hoped to be able to mount the Viewfinders on Top directly, but it looks like I need to get into the Rod-System Business finally.

If I go the Rod-System Way I may also get a replacement for my DV-MultiRig. I like the Idea of having My Cam stabilized by my Shoulder and my Back. Plus the Hands (that need some Grips there somewhere). This are four Points of Contact.

Imagine that with two Fixed Scarlets and two Viewfinders for real 3d while filming. I’d place the Redmote on the right side thou, as I could grab it there better. Looks like the way to go. DV-MultiRig to sell. Anyone?

Epic, full featured. Bulky, but maybe someone needs this. One thing I see is the following. The Back Pad can also be used as a Shoulderrest. This way I could transform my 3d-Rig (Back Pad and Shoulder Pad plus two Grips and two Fixed Scarlets) into two Run and Gun type of Rigs (Fixed Scarlet plus one Grip and the Shoulder Pad / Fixed wit one Grip and the Back Pad as Shoulderrest). Sounds like a cool Kit for “normal” Work.

All in all I now really can see the Kit I want appear in front of my eyes. Now I need Dates, Prices and an appointment with my Bank Account Manager (Wife) to get this thing going.

I’m not into this “Lenses-thing”, but this one sounds really good.

RED Pro Primes (RPPs)

5 lens set- $19K
(25mm T1.8, 35mm T1.8, 50mm T1.8, 85mm T1.8, 100mm T1.8)

6 lens set (adds 300mm)- $23K.

Anyone who buys a “set” gets all future RPPs at the “set price” for that lens. Not all future lenses will be the same price.

Individual lens prices are as follows:

25mm, 35mm, 50mm, 85mm and 100mm- $4250
300mm- $5975K
18-85mm T2.9 Pro Zoom- $9975K
18mm T1.8 (in rapid development)- $3800 (set price) and $4250 individual price

Other lenses are under development are a 14mm, a 21mm, and a 65mm.

FAQs- New RED Pro Prime set.

1. RPPs are “RED-centric”, which means that the light path is optimized for maximum resolution and consistent illumination, with minimum breathing for the Mysterium sensor family. Patent Pending.
2. T-stop range is 1.8-22.
3. Image diagonal- > 32mm.
4. Extra low dispersion (ELD), Super Low Dispersion (SLD) and anomalous dispersion glass for maximum chromatic aberration correction.
5. Center resolution is greater than 100 (lines/mm). Edge (5K) is greater than 63 (lines/mm). (You will see Wed. how much greater)
6. Close focus from lens front (from sensor) is:
25mm- 4″ (12″)
35mm- 4″ (12″)
50mm- 6″ (12″)
85mm- 18″ (24″)
100mm- 24″ (30″)
7. High relative illumination from center to edge of field (5K).
8. Uniform Spectral correction to accommodate any light source.
9. Internal Focus and Unit Focus designs.
10. Consistent 110mm front diameter.
11. RPPs will work with film cameras.

The image circle varies depending on focal length due, in some part, to the image mask on the front element. 5K 2.40:1 is possible through the entire zoom range. A larger format is possible past (greater than) 50mm. We are still nailing down exact specifications, but this should give you something to work with.

Sweet. The Boost you need to Edit R3D Files. Now ablet to Edit R3D in Final Cut on the Go?

Lets wait what’s coming.

What the fu? I like that. Easy and well thought. Now I need a USB Cable for my Scarlet 3D-Rig *starts searching all usb cables he has*

what if I told you it was already in the camera, all you had to do was connect a usb cable between 2 cameras with build 17/18 or above?

Cameras record at the same time with the same shutter.

I’ll be posting the RED Pro Prime info with pricing along with an incredible new workflow tool (don’t miss this one) tomorrow night at midnight. The red.com website will be ready for reservations on Wed.

Okay. Seems like an easy day for me, as Midnight in Vegas is somewhere over the Day here in Germany I think. But let’s take a look at the Primes Jim talks about:

1. RPPs are “RED-centric”, which means that the light path is optimized for maximum resolution and consistent illumination, with minimum breathing for the Mysterium sensor family. Patent Pending.
2. T-stop range is 1.8-22.
3. Image diagonal- > 32mm.
4. Extra low dispersion (ELD), Super Low Dispersion (SLD) and anomalous dispersion glass for maximum chromatic aberration correction.
5. Center resolution is greater than 100 (lines pairs/mm). Edge (5K) is greater than 63 (lines pairs/mm). (You will see Wed. how much greater)
6. Close focus from lens front (from sensor) is:
25mm- 4″ (12″)
35mm- 4″ (12″)
50mm- 6″ (12″)
85mm- 18″ (24″)
100mm- 24″ (30″)
7. High relative illumination from center to edge of field (5K).

Nice. And a new Workflow Tool? Would like to know what that’s all about.

We have posted a new interim release of firmware (Build 18 v3.6.4) at www.red.com/support to address the following issues.

* Eliminated camera “stall” during boot up sequence.

* Eliminated requirement to wait 10 seconds between power down / power up.

* Eliminated “blue screen” LCD / EVF symptom following camera re-boot.

* Eliminated camera “menu lock up” when connected to a consumer HDTV set via HDMI cable.

In addition we made the following operational changes -

* Modified Time-Lapse default setting to Interval (was One-Shot)

* Modified GPI B default setting to Record (was Time-Lapse record)

* Modified Audio 1 and 2 default assignment to Line Level.

* Modified audio PPM scaling and Witness Mark for 0dBu / - 20dBFS reference level.

* Modified Phantom Power logic to remain enabled across camera power cycles ( Rev B Audio hardware only)

As this is a Beta test build, the usual disclaimer about using appropriate caution on commercial jobs applies.

Please send back any comments via e-mail to Red Technical Support.
