Build 30 on old RED....any issues?

[Chris Parker]

Any issues with shooting, or workflow, with using Build 30 on the old (non-MX) REDs that anyone is aware of??

[C.H.Haskell]

Shooting Tv series build 30, and soon wrapping a feature build 30 and so far I would say its the most stable my non mx RED has ever been. Workflow wise I dont think 4.5k quicktime playback of proxies is supported yet but other then that I have not had too many issues.

If you are using the Birger, there are issues, but it appears that there is a work-around. Otherwise, I really like it!

Hey Chris, I personally used the B30.5 on couple projects, camera worked like a charm, post is fine (redrocket), but watch for the camera temperature it does get hotter than usual,

Cheers,

does build 30 work with Red Rushes? whenever I have a RedCine issue and need to get footage outputted, I've always turned to Red Rushes (but heard that Build 30 wasn't working with it).

chris,

i've shot on 30 since test pilot builds with no issues. Jacks advice is good advice.

this build looks great!

When I hit the zoom in function the camera freezes on it some times like 1 out of 100 times.

Stephen, what issues are there with the Birger mount? I haven't seen anything untoward on ours...

Cheers,

Whay issues/ Where to find the work-around?

[Jonathan Cooper]

My Birger works fine with Build 30.5 but I would like to know what issues others are having.

Have shot two shoots with long takes (>1hr) using Build 30 on two cameras and had no problems.

Also use Rocket Cine-X1740 for post without problems.
