Cooke lens works great on the Red. Also your tripod should be fine as well. I don't have any footage for you to see though.

All shot with B14/15 (early summer 2008) and at 3K because of use with 4x4 matte box and ND+CircPola filters.

Here is a Cooke 25-250 MII...

It's a fantastic people lens, very forgiving on facial lines but still resolves well. A little prone to CA until 5.6 but it's not objectionable.

The Mark III is a great lens, very underrated.
