Red One Unboxing - Part 1

Pics and details of what you get when your Red One arrives

...and at last you’ve extricated a Red. Here’s some more pictures of that:

Front/top:

They’ve changed the PL mount since the first 100 (really beta) cameras:

and in the back they’ve added a protective couple of nub/flanges to protect the joystick - BIG improvement:

I’ll do another article on differences between the first 100 and the currently shipping production models, that’ll take some space itself. Recent conversations also indicate that tests done with the beta cameras are so different than what is or will be soon possible that those earlier tests just aren’t very valid any more. Hmm.

Next up - lets look into the accessories:

Nice report, Mike. Thorough—and you have managed to convey the impression of really being there. Very useful for future Red owners. 

Cheers.

Hey Mike,
Congrats on your new baby!

You might want to chat with Jim Mathers of DCS about the improvements to the current run. His #30 was swapped out for 30X. At our RED Event last Saturday he talked about the differences (improvements) between the beta models and his replacement. Jim’s an apples vs apples kind of guy.
Best,
Simon.

Sounds like we need Jim Mathers to talk about it here for everyone to share.  I for one would be interested in learning about the differences.

Jim is a great resource of information, and although he’s an early RED adopter, he’s not a fan boy by any means.

FYI, we recorded our DCS NorCal/Pacific North West RED event on video, and a condensed program will be available for viewing on the DCS website in a couple of weeks. Right now, you can watch coverage from our previous RED sessions, and read an extensive on-set write-up of the camera at http://www.digitalcinemasociety.org Look for the RED content under “RED ONE Rollout”.

Best,
Simon Sommerfeld

Hi, Mike!
I see you had really a great time while unpacking all that stuff;)
Good luck with using.
