Attention Red owners/users - at LAST eSATA transfers off of Red Drives!

LEMO to eSATA cable for faster data transfers in the field

R2E cable adds eSATA transfer abilities to RED camera

FINALLY! I asked about this before the first Red One even shipped, so nice to see it (eventually) saw the light of day - a LEMO to eSATA cable. The fastest possible data transfer bus for Red data transfer. Get a card in your laptop that supports port multiplying, then you can run data on one eSATA bus and two drives on another for your data backups with 2 copies via eSATA ASAP which on set is PDI.

At $230 it is a bit steep (how about a discount on the backup cable guys?) but at least SOMEBODY is doing it!

Clean, simple 3D animation sells a rolling stop

Before you get all engulfed in the new product announcements sure to flow out of the NAB frenzy next week, take a look at a beautifully executed animation in support of what appears to be an incredibly sensible law that only one state has passed in almost 30 years - allowing bikes to come to a rolling stop. Made by Spencer Boomhower and found on the Bike Portland site, it’s really worth checking out.
