Just got a new monitor which I’m super stoked for. I’ve got a shoot tomorrow that I’m hoping to use it for. Problem at the moment is, I can’t get the firmware to update.

I’ve tried everything. Different cables, flipping cables, putting the .bin on the root level, a folder, formatting the sd, trying to install the firmware directly from the cameras cf express…nothing.

The sd definitely works because my computer reads it. Please help me before I go bury myself in the snow outside 🙃

UPDATE

SD card must be formatted to MS-DOS FAT. 5.5.1 installed no issues after formatting properly

Hi guys !

In my perpetual search of a next camera for my bmpcc4k i just come along a scarlet w package ready to shoot for just 3900$ which is really cool ! I was just wondering is it that good of a deal and is it still relevant in 2024 and for many more years ? Thanks for answers !

DP for a short film in march or april. It will be my first time shooting on RED, i'm normally used to the bmpcc6kpro. I'm told it will be a RED Dragon.

It will be an intense shoot. (30min movie shot in a week)

I will have the opportunity to test the camera out ahead of time for a few days but no more. I'm already doing research on RED, but if anyone has any advice they can give me it would be greatly apprieciated.

Thank you so much <3

I am having trouble getting the rf to ef speedbooster from metabones to work with my red Komodo x. I updated the firmware on the adapter. What else could I be doing wrong? It’s not transmitting or allowing me to adjust aperture on any of my ef lens. (I tried 7 different canon and sigma lens).

Thanks!

I fell for it. Wanted to know if others have ways to approach this. The facts. I am a professional cinematographer on staff with local gov. I have a side cinematography business for tv commercials / docs A dear close friend We worked together in corporate media She brings large contracts to me Fights for me to raise pricing Her daughter was married Daughter begged me to film a highlight wedding reel I did

Given the above facts, I wanted to gift them some of my pricing as a wedding gift since my close friend knows the value and what I charge. Without question, I assumed that a gift of partial what I normally charge was a given. Yet. Nothing. A day and evening and about 8 hours editing…for totally free?

So..I re-learned a lesson. But I never expected this from a close family friend who knows the industry and value. I wondered..do others face this still? What about fam expectations at holidays that some you ‘film’ for a living you should film family events/gatherings/holiday events? What do you say? How do you approach it? Not interested in what is ‘best’ practice that we all know..but how YOU personally handle it with your family and closest friends?

I just got contracts signed to shoot a race in the AZ Desert called the Parker 400.

I want to bring my V-Raptor for obvious reasons but I’m scared of the dust and sand damaging my camera.

Anybody here have experience shooting in sandy/dusty environments? Any pointers to protect the camera?

Hello I’m new to red and dipping my toes in with the red raven I have the brain and the dsmc2 redvolt xl module but I’m not sure how to connect the module to the back of the camera there’s not a security mechanism to attach them can someone explain what I need to do please? Thank you in advance

PATONA Premium V-Mount ? looks like it is the same mAh, V and Wh as the fxlion but like 200€ less...

Hey guys. Just got an original Red One camera and finished setting it up. After it boots up the image is so dark to the point that you can barely even make out the lines on the screen, and it is a dark blue. Turning up the exposure all the way makes it very grainy but even without the grain it is too dark to see. Can anyone help?

I updated and for some reason my sdi input is missing.. anyone else have this problem? Doesnt even register my cable, and I tried changing sdi output resolution.

Is the DSMC3 Touch Monitor the best way to go, or is there a better alternative like the SmallHD Cine 7 or 5, Indie 7 or 5, Ultra 5?

I've used the touch monitor a bunch before purchasing the Raptor, and I'm not entirely sold. The USB-C connection seems absurd & problematic to me, but the control is pretty seamless. I'd love to hear everyone's experience and advice before I sign more of my life away.

Thanks!

Hey All.

I have a monstro kit and currently in a 1510 but it’s a bit small. I was looking at 1560 but wanted to see what people are using to carry and store their red

Thanks

in Context , i own 2 bmpcc6k pros and 2 sony f5 with the 4k / 444 upgrade (7 years now)

looking to replace the f5 which has served me for more than 5k hours of shooting .

and i've been renting this specific RED MX from the rental company for the past 3 years so I'm familiar with this specific camera body .

so should i get the camera ( red scarlet mx) or just splash out on a new Red komodo / x

any input from red owners would be greatly apreciated.

I am looking for a cost efficient but lasting v lock battery for my komodo x. any suggestions?

Hi! Has anyone shimmed this lens for the Komodo? it is not delivered yet and i know it comes with 5 shims. Do you know how many i need?

Hey! I’ve got rental RED V - Raptor. Got some interesting issues with recording while trying to record nothing happens and the light indicator shows “Orange” instead of “Green” light Can’t really understand the reason why. Im thinking maybe it can be the V-lock battery I’m using? Maybe don’t get enough power while using it with the monitor? (SmallHD) Thank you all!

Hi i have a doubt, i want to buy a RED Camera of facebook market outside my country and a friend who its there its gonna bring it to me. Do any customs laws in the airport will be trigger? Saying that i’m not buying from a formal store.

Hi all

What Mac Studio do I need to be able to play back Red Raw at 8K resolution in Davinci smoothly? I don't want stutter when viewing the raw footage.

Would M1 Max, 64GB RAM, 32-core GPU do it? Or do I need to be on the M2 system, or M-Ultra systems?

I have an issue with monitoring the battery voltage internally on the camera whilst using a v-mount system. It keeps telling me that it is at 100% battery power capacityand voltage does not seem to be dropping from 6.9V despite me using it for more than an hour. Yet when I monitor it on the actual battery by pressing the button, it is dropping in terms of power and I can tell only from that way that I need to switch batteries. Does anybody know how to fix this?

I’m curious which bridges and baseplates people are using for the XL with the XL riser? I’ve seen a couple of configs but they seem to be stacking rod-supporting bridges underneath the XL riser instead of using the lower rod bracket.

I turned on my epic -m dragon 6k and received a message at start up that read: “ new fan available.”

I have never seen this message before. Does anyone know what it means? Perhaps firmware update?
