Snapshots - NAB 2008 Day 1

Carlos Acosta shows off his prototype shoulder mount for the F23

Carlos Acosta shows off his prototype shoulder mount for the F23 at the Band Pro booth. Fully flexible configuration: grips rotate freely or lock down, and adjust laterally, vertically, and in or out. Shoulder pad is positionable and can be angled; split foam padding velcroed in place allows easy changes, such as a thicker pad on the “outboard” side for better balance. Completely tool-free adjustment and assembly, too; and squeak-free by design. Nice work!

Canon XL H1s: new lens with better focus ring, iris ring; tweaked control ergonomics; expanded picture-rendering menus: an incremental improvement of an already capable HDV camcorder.

RED Scarlet mockups: Check out Mike Curtis’ NAB coverage for all the RED NAB details.

Scarlet. 2/3” 3k sensor, 8x fixed zoom, $3k. Shipping 2009?

RED Epic. S35mm sensor, 5k, $40k; $17.5 trade-in on RED ONEs. Shipping 2009?

Real BNCs and full-size XLRs: RED IS capable of learning from mistakes. Now, if only they could incorporate real BNCs (at least) in future RED ONE builds…

Next: more RED stuff; s.two

Hey - figured you might dig the Red R/C prototype. Not sure if you’ve been peekin’ in on this year’s NAB or not. Pretty cool shit.

Peace….
