even if you are unfamiliar with the camera Market you have likely heard of a
little company called red lus techtips coverage of NAB 2015 is brought to you
by Sennheiser Kingston SD cards and
linda.com over the years red has worked their way up to becoming one of the most
sought-after cameras to shoot on embracing an upgrade path for all owner
operators of their products the new red weapon stays true to that upgrade
mentality building on Red's most recent camera the red dragon the weapon upgrade
adds some welcome physical changes starting with the I/O instead of being
on the bottom ressed into the body the weapon has now moved the iio of the
camera to the right side making it much more accessible for all the different
inputs which I'm sure will please many owners that purchased the upgrade red
has also redesigned how the weapon handles cooling moving the exhaust to
the old position of the I/O and adding a new dual fan intake to the top of the
camera the new cooling system is also claimed to be significantly quieter than
the previous dragon body the mic imputs that were previously on the camera have
been replaced with two scratch audio mics built into the camera allowing
users the option of not needing an external Audio Mic for running in camera
audio the weapon also brings a slight processing Improvement that is claimed
to improve the detail and noise levels of the Shadows by roughly half a stop
another welcomed addition is the weapon can now run a limo to Cat 5 cable for
external recording to fast SSD media speaking of fast SSD media the weapon
will now be using Red's new Mini Mags which come in three capacities 240 512
and 1 TB recording options have stayed mostly the same with the addition of all
flavors of prores recording giving a new level of flexibility in terms of post-
production with this camera along with the red dragon 6K to weapon upgrade red
announced their new 8K Vista Vision sensor this is to be the slightly larger
than fullframe sensor that will support a new 8K resolution and likely push the
image quality of the Dragon 6K even further this sensor isn't coming until
later in the year but it will be the next step in the upgrade path following
the current dragon owner's upgrade to the weapon with this new weapon upgrade
red looks to be really pushing the envelope of image quality in their cameras I'm excited to see what the new
AK Vista Vision sensor will have in store for future Productions thank you
