RedMote - Please Red

[David Carstens]

Is ANYONE having a non-disasterous experience with the Redmote?

[Stephen Mick]

Well, I'm having no real "issues" with the REDmote I just received (from another RedUser). It paired without a problem, and controls everything just fine. The range isn't anything to write home about (6-10 feet, maybe), but it seems to work for me as advertised.

Just worked with one. Did not connect to camera, one of the buttons seemed stuck
so I dismissed it because I did not have the time to deal with it.

I received the redmote just a week ago and the enter button is not working as well. Don't they test it before sending out these items. Anyway since I am in Istanbul I can not send it back and wait for it to come back because of time loss and various customs regulations so I have to wait until I go back to USA.

Same here with a loaner. Connection drops now and again but not as often as most reports on the boards.

...the hell? 6-10 feet?

[Christian Munoz D]

No Issues here yet.

Your mileage may vary, of course.

Our redmote works too. We tested the distance and it can control the camera from appr. 7-8m away. Until now no malfunction problems with it.

the redmote was the unfortunetly the first item i removed from our epic bundle when renting out.
why?
it loses connection too often, its sadly not reliable enough for us.
and i am very cautious when giving out gear.
i learned from the red one that it takes quite some third party gear to make red cameras cinestyle ready, meaning
assecoires work in almost every condition very reliable.
(honestly i did not want to hear, the gear sucks, because the elic brain itself is again a tank, dont know how come that most assecoires are not so well build and most important not so well thought out, maybe AC's should test them heavily instead of single shooters?)

second thing we removed is the sidehandle, because it has a plastic feel. and the quality is unfortunetly also not so well.
(why is it impossible to lock the buttons?)
this brings a huge problem of course.
if you use a bomb, you can not really controll the camera. so again, its strange that you really cant controll the cam without the ts lcd.
the redmote is cumbersome.
so, i wish something as a moduleadaptor with a 2nd monitor port.
the AC can use the TS LCD, the operator the bomb evf, and client can see through hdsdi.

and please, do something about the delay in the monitor path. the imgae on lcd and evf is stuttery on pans.
opengate would be very very welcome. and it would be cool if you can format a ssd without a sidehandle and redmote.
only with the evf attached.
please red, see this a hints to make an awesome camera very very usable in a wide area of usuages.

when i shoot run and gun, i use the sidehandle/rpz and a sidehandle, totally enough. but sometimes i wish
we would reach cinestyle point.

+1 to all this points
A comfortable way to Lock/Unlock buttons is a must have.
