Mitch is so right. I've bought a lot of cameras over the years, and it's never been scarier... If I lived in a major market there's no way I would be a camera owner today. Living in a smaller city,...

OK, All of my tests yesterday were through the XLR-5 return, which as Christopher has said is what my sound guys usually use on Sony/Panasonic cameras. I've got a couple of umbilicals lying around...

Okay, I got a Redmag reader in late yesterday, so finally I'm able to do a bit of experimenting.

Started by reinstalling all firmware to the current beta build, which is required for Pro I/O...

I am still waiting for my SSD readers to arrive, and my earlier tests were done with older firmware versions so that's all part of what makes Red troubleshooting so much fun...

Once I do that, I...

I can appreciate your reluctance to "provide crap audio," but I'm mainly wearing my equipment rental hat here - on my own shoots I have always used two-system sound with Epic, period.

However, as...

Well, I have no card reader so I can't do a real test, but so far it's not sounding pretty....

I hooked up the Pro I/O and connected a 442 mixer. The return feed from the camera has a pulsing...

For the opening ceremonies, I was shooting at 200fps with a 1/200th exposure at ISO3200 - I usually shoot high ISO and let my colorist adjust downward, at least I can see a great image in the VF and...

I have to disagree, Marc, based on my experience.

No doubt the G2/G3 are not high end performers, but lots of people use these for scratch tracks every day with no problem at all, it's only with...

I suspect i won't be able to do that because of Olympic rights...

When I get home from London my Pro I/O should be arriving too.... and audio is one of the first things I'll be checking out.

I've had bad luck with Epic audio so far, although much of that is...

+1 here too.

Now that the Pro I/O is shipping Epic is ALMOST as functional as Red One ..... still can't understand why so many functions that we have had forever on Red One disappeared for over a...

Thought I'd post this after comments from a couple of Red users.... I think I may be the first person to shoot an Olympic opening ceremony on Epic!

I'm here in London shooting for...

I've never even bothered to use mine wirelessly - It wouldn't mate with my Epic from a couple of feet away, so that's pointless.

All I want is to attach it to the back of the camera so I can...

Just experienced the "enter" problem on my Redmote, which is all of a month and a half old and has probably been actively used for about a week total.

Excellent... I don't suppose you have any time frames? I know this isn't one of the top features the majority of users are clamoring for... But for those of us who do need 16:9 it would be great to...

Isn't 4K HD explicitly 16:9?

I would also really like 16:9 options at 3K and 2K....

As far as I'm concerned it was a horrible mistake not to have the Pro I/O ready to ship with the Epic-X.
And to be so silent for so long on availability is just ridiculous - let us know what is...

Does anyone have any idea when or if there will be 2K or 3K 16:9 options for Epic?

I have regularly used my Red One for highspeed photography for a client - needs quick turnaround to get the...

Jorge,

Doug Underdahl's video is pretty good - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6XSlvQvNAw

Doesn't sound like what you're talking about, though. Epic gate flare is very much like an Arri IIc...

I can forgive a lot -but how was this gate flare missed during the months of beta testing? My AC reported the flaring on his first prep day with my new Epic.

Hey I have no problem buying it as a separate unit since it has features many users may not need or want... I just want the damn thing to ship. The limitations of "brain-only" make this a...

Well, as far as I know this was the last official word and that was 3 weeks ago, so....

Aha, I was thinking of the video or the r3d "permanent" version... Thanks Doug, I had these mixed up.

Thanks Doug! I did see that, but of course what I'm concerned about is what happens after a few months, does the adhesive come off the metal as cleanly after it's been there for a while? Most...

I'm mainly concerned about uninstalling the Underdahl fix - assuming Red's eventual solution is ultimately better? I've got about a month before my next major Epic rental, so if we don't hear...
