Bro I love your channel you inspire me a lot and have gained much in it.

[KandaProductions]

Wow the production quality is amazing. I love your confidence in everything you're saying. Definitely subscribed! Looking forward to more of your content

[christheswiss]

Wow, I'm impressed. You really know what you are talking about. It's obvious you use this camera A LOT and you know the intricacies of it in daily use. Yor presentation is dense, smooth, focussed, succinct and well structured. You don't let yourself get sidetracked, you know what you want to say, you cut out the gibberisch and you get to the point and keep the language and explanations real. If only all vloggers took a masterclass with you on how to create well-explaining videos!

Nice video. But you should add as Number 11 the ability to shoot in HDRx. It’s a great feature that increases dynamic range by up to 6 stops beyond the camera’s original 16.5stops. You will use twice as much memory, but on a super bright day you’ll see the birds chirping outside that window behind you’re talent.

In 2:35 how can i remove this red sensor points ? Thanks!

[andrewcach]

I plan on shooting a short film and I'm figuring out if I need a better camera. I'm trying to "Level Up." We're using a Sony a6 which has been a great camera. I've been thinking about renting something. Please let me know of any suggestions.

more resolution does not mean better low light - it is only when you shoot low resolution on a high resolution sensor does you low light performance get worse, normally more resolution is worse low light as the physical pixels are smaller, it is just better compared to photo cameras because they aren't using the entire surface area of the sensor.

Plus the color siance of the RED is good. Don't forget you can use lenses, and shoot raw!

[RyanHarville]

So, I saw that the Red Raven got discontinued. Should I find a different RED camera to get? That's the only one I could afford (and the Komodo isn't really impressing me)

[chrisdukmusica]

Can o have variable frame rate on the Komodo?

[Aanushka]

Ur underated😣 so underated get him to 1 million or more!

[neoray]

Great video Nick, the best part about your videos is that you have something unique to offer, always wondered why filmmakers choose the red to shoot. I kinda didn't understand the compression ratio part, how is it calculated?

[hotlunch]

Great video. Your Kit link seems way out of date though, no RED gear on it at all.

[mosheamrani]

you promise video about how you got your red dragon nick

[AngelsLensRED]

Glad I found your channel as I’m in the market for a red

Checkout Blackmagic cameras. Have all the same features except with all the IO modules of RED built in. Also it doesn’t shoot proxies... but everything else is there for 1/5 the price. Can get the Pocket cams too and get almost all the same value for 1/20 or 1/40 the price... just slightly less dynamic range

RED has 13 EV in normal mode and it's written officially in their website, 16 EV or more you can take only in HDRx mode but it's trouble mode. Different speed of shutter angle is a pain in the ass when some objects move and you take great dynamic range but also terrible ghosting. Only one brand at the moment who have more regular DR than 13 is Arri (14) and they use DPO technology ) in nearly future Canon will bring this too C line (now they introduce this in C300m3).
Red is awesome but not perfect yet. I w8 for dscm3 generation with Ursa Mini Pro g2 (awesome camera too btw like a little bit cut Dragon 6k ;) )
Which steadicam you use?
I looking for my set (5-6 kg/11-13 lbs) something with good stabilization but I tried Crane 3s and I back it back to shop after 2 warranty service. Can you recommend something analog and not expesnsive like ronin2 with Vario 5?

[wilhelmdangane]

I have a Red Dragon-X and didn't know we could shoot proxies all along!
