on the last episode of holy [ __ ] we
0:04
unboxed the most expensive item we had
0:07
ever unboxed before basically like a
0:11
truckload of 10 tbte drives from Seagate
0:15
totaling a petabyte of storage for our
0:18
new server which raised a lot of
0:21
questions in our viewers Minds what on Earth could some YouTuber possibly need
0:28
a petabyte of storage for the answer is today where we will be
0:34
unveiling the new most expensive thing we've ever
0:39
unboxed 2017 model
0:43
newest the red weapon 8K camera that is
0:48
the reason we need a petabyte of
0:55
storage and all the fraking accessories
0:58
that come with it
1:09
Dashlane is the userfriendly password manager that keeps passwords secure and
1:14
available on every device you own you can download Dashlane at the link in the
1:18
video description and learn more about the service at the end of this video so
1:23
let's begin by getting one of the biggest lies
1:27
that I have ever told my audience out of the way way I said we were also going to
1:32
look at all the included
1:35
accessories but to anyone who's ever shopped for a red camera they'll already
1:39
know this that's a big load of [ __ ]
1:42
because RED cameras don't include any accessories
1:46
now that is why we're using a saw by the way the average person might think well
1:52
you buy a camera for
1:55
$49,500 well you should be done it should come
2:00
with a lens a battery a you know freaking
2:04
[ __ ] but no that is not the way red
2:07
sees it the way they see it the more professional you are and the more you're
2:12
spending on your camera the less it should come with and the more you should
2:16
just have buckets of money to spend on all the other crap you're going to need
2:20
you see here let's let's let's get this right out of the way
2:23
first $49,500
2:28
this is the red weapon 8K brain with the helium sensor
2:34
it's capable of shooting it anywhere from 8K down to whatever smaller
2:38
resolution you would want it comes with this sticker yes my friends this sticker
2:44
is included in the box so you can pimp
2:47
the crap out of the brand you just gave tens of thousands of dollars to as if
2:51
they didn't get enough out of you already these are the crappiest Keys
2:55
ever for a case that you're never going
2:59
to use which is a shame because it looks really
3:02
cool but who would actually put the camera in there when it doesn't have
3:07
anything on it this is all you get this
3:11
we're lucky it has a freaking power button and menu navig it doesn't even
3:16
have a screen you can't use it there's no audio where's the XLR audio input no
3:22
you get to buy all the accessories so first is your batteries
3:26
and we're going to bring up we're going to bring up the uh the bill here start
3:31
having a look at this okay so what what is uh what do we pay for a
3:36
battery holy [ __ ]
3:41
$1,500 for the red brick power pack okay
3:46
so for 1,500 us smackaroonies you get four
3:51
batteries and a charger I mean this thing better be made out of like
3:56
titanium that doesn't seem very special I mean you know we're paying for at this
4:00
point is this cool logo that's a really cool logo so inside here is the red
4:05
touch 7-in LCD and when they ask me is
4:10
that good touch or Bad Touch I'm going to tell them it better be really [ __ ]
4:14
good touch because what does this thing cost red touch
4:20
$2,750 do you know how big of a screen I
4:24
can get for $2700 I mean look at this thing okay it
4:29
has has four buttons you know how many buttons the iPhone has that's not an
4:35
iPhone the iPhone has 1 two three four buttons and
4:41
cost less than half that much even at the highest capacity how much capacity
4:45
does this have none okay so how much do we have to pay for the privilege of
4:51
putting a Canon lens on our camera let's find out shall
4:54
we two grand for that what what's this
4:58
PCB made of 2 Grand look at this thing
5:02
black pcbs are more expensive what is a dsm2 base expander
5:13
$1,750 for the base expander so you
5:16
already paid them $50,000 for the camera and then just for
5:21
the privilege of plugging it HDMI out
5:26
onto it which by the way doesn't even output it for K because these [ __ ]
5:31
want you to buy their media instead of outputting to an external capture device
5:36
so that's what you got to pay for the privilege of powering the camera
5:41
controlling crap and like having a
5:44
headphone in unbeliev where does it even go you know what I don't care Brandon
5:49
will figure that out later so for the privilege of connecting a cable to my
5:56
monitor I have to spend another $200
6:00
in order to not have to just plunk it on here it cost me $200 and they don't even
6:07
include a cable do they actually not include a cable with this thing yeah we
6:13
paid more for the we paid for the cable too did this is a
6:18
$240 cable so for the privilege of
6:22
connecting a cable and having a cable
6:25
and of course this is proprietary as I
6:28
mean look at this thing I'll give them credit it's a nice looking this isn't
6:33
even a swivel fitting wow thank God it has braided
6:39
sleeving on it because otherwise I don't know how I'd feel about it so get get
6:43
this this this is a $100 card reader
6:47
$100 for a card reader the reason they
6:50
can give you such a great deal $999.99 on the reader is because they just bent
6:55
you over a barrel on the proprietary media you have to buy red mini Megs
7:00
which by the way are just normal MSA
7:04
ssds they're not even PCI Express m ssds
7:08
in a fancy red enclosure oh and you don't even get red it's like it's a
7:13
black enclosure if you don't buy the 480 or the 960 gig so red makes you buy an
7:19
adapter from their proprietary
7:23
interface to their [ __ ] proprietary
7:27
cable and you spend $200 on each end plus $200 for this dinky ass
7:34
cable to go between them I understand this correctly no no I think I
7:37
understand what's going on here so if it's not enough that they have their
7:41
fist up your ass charging you $1,500 for a battery and a
7:45
charger for the privilege of connecting the battery to the brain you know what
7:51
this come here come here look at this do you know what this is okay so this is
7:56
like a few cents worth of goldplated contact
8:00
there's like a wire inside like there's nothing in here there's a spring oh you
8:05
know what it's probably like $300 spring it's probably the best spring the
8:10
greatest spring there's an ARM for the privilege of actually putting your 100
8:17
it's $150 for
8:20
this look at this thing it's not even
8:23
like a fancy one
8:27
$150 this is like Criminal
8:31
last
8:37
piece dsmc2 side handle
8:43
$950 for us handle of course it makes it easier to
8:48
hold the camera that's not the conversation we're having I don't disagree it should have a handle I
8:53
disagree that I should be paying $1,000 for
8:58
it
9:02
so total damage switching to
9:05
Red
9:08
$138,000 for two red cameras and the
9:12
Bullit accessories that they make you buy
9:15
$60,000 in hard drives to store all this crap on another $20,000 in ndme SSD so
9:22
that all of our editors can edit red footage off of our Nas at the same
9:26
time and what do we get for it
9:29
8K videos that nobody can watch because
9:33
they don't have 8K displays thank you and good
9:38
night we're out of
9:42
here so we're back and if there was any
9:45
doubt in anyone's mind that my level of Rage hadn't been decreased in the
9:50
slightest in the last 2 months let me put that to rest for you yes we have a
9:55
functioning camera look at that o it's probably amazing or some [ __ ] but all
10:00
this time we've had to be recording to an external audio recorder anytime we
10:06
wanted to use the bloody thing for all the money we spent it doesn't have an
10:11
XLR input so we had to wait all this
10:15
time for some third party accessory because oh no the uh the the the red one
10:21
that's like $4,000 by the way that one's not as good so we couldn't have an audio
10:25
input module no we had to wait for the the omod so guess how much one of these
10:31
cost look at this look at this box look at
10:35
this I mean how much does that even weigh
10:39
$2,500 so this replaces the base expander that's
10:44
already on here what the the base expander is
10:51
$1,700 why the did we buy two basic
10:56
banders if we're going to replace them why did we buy two of them we bought two
11:02
$1,700 pieces just in case this one
11:06
stops working normally this is the point in the video where I'd like drop it in
11:11
anger but it's too
