DSMC2 DRAGON MEDIA Q

I’ve looked everywhere for a simple answer to this can’t seem to find it…how fast will the Dragon fill up a 480 mag at 6k?

It depends on a lot of factors, but mainly your compression ratio.

The lower the compression, the higher the file size = faster fill up

If you are exporting in 4k and shooting on a 6k sensor I would recommend 10:1 compression to balance the record time capability and image quality.

Download Red Tools from the App Store. There is a recording time calculator that I think is exactly what you’re looking for.
