I just bought a second hand one... Getting it on Monday. I feel like a kid on Christmas Eve!!! Good heavens, I'm so excited I can't sleep... just pouring over reviews and tutorials. Like for instance, one of the minor things I noted was that I should look at the Tangerine Matte box! Awesome tutorial, very helpful and thank you!!! Liked and subscribed!!! (BTW I know this is like three years old, but I'm a commercial photographer and videographer... I hope my clients note an improvement in the quality of the video! Been on the GH4 and the GH5 near on 5 years. And now a Red is within the reach of us one man band guys!!! What an amazing age to live in?!
Thanks for the simple instruction. Good for someone like me who never heard of this camera until today. With a few more videos like this I would feel confident using one. Good work.
Hey thank you for this video! many people are complaining about your explanation of basic things that those interested in the camera should already know. I have decided to go back to school for video editing (hello midlife crisis) and I don't know anything about cameras. We were to critique a video that used this camera to shoot it. I needed an explanation of what it was. I look forward to coming back to this in a few months so that I can understand more about the technical terms you are talking about. Keep up the great work!
Great tutoring...you actually explained some of the basics about digital terms and their relation to one another. I'm only a still amateur but have heard a lot about Red Epic...well now now I know a little bit more...amazing technology and thank you for the video!
Nope, he is using the scarlet, but I think he will upgrade to the dragon soon, I'm a big fan of the camera, I have tried it out a couple of times. It's just amazing!
So many keyboard warriors slagging off your production values with no videos of their own on their channels. :) Hahahah RUclips Heroes make me laugh. Irrespective of the issues you are aware of, the video was pretty informative. Not many like this on the Dragon.
With the HDRx function will that work with fast motion or will the frames not match up? I notice when I use HDR on my Nikon D800E it only works well with still subjects as you get a funny double image happening on object motion..
This is a major milestone in camera technology because a digital camera has surpassed film in dynamic range. Formerly, color negative film provided the most possible dynamic range at 16 stops, but now a digital cinema camera delivers 16.5!?!
Interesting! So that’s why a lot of new video I just don’t like the look as as much as the 80s - 2000 cameras. Some of the footage around that time just had such a good feel. To many digital downsides and options now.
Surprised not many guys are using the Nikon D800 instead of the Canon. It has a much nicer image especially in the shadows. The canon always looks to contrasty and enhanced with compressed blacks ..
+Polymer Clay Artist it takes 30 minute to take one picture cost you can't find correct setting even if you did you'll be will unsatisfied because you'll think i should have bought 8k. greedy, imagine world first camera and be thankful that you got decent 720p camera watchable...
Rob Fraser photography is all about taking picture that is unique... even $10 camera's picture can be Photoshop to make it look like its taken from this 30k camera. son i am not interested on photography not like i don't know
HDRx sounds cool, in theory you could shoot like fire and a dark black cat ( unlit ) and sun all properly exposed in one frame... Curious what exactly he means by clean image at iso 2000, I'm guessing even at 1600 there's a bit of noticeable noise. Maybe it's not an issue for an indie feature drama but a clean modern music video I'm guessing 800 is the most one should go? If you could really shoot at iso 2000 I could save money by not renting lights and just shoot avail light. Also one must have an AC on set or do any of you guys pull focus yourselves I've heard it's doable. Also what do you guys use to go handheld? I guess if you shoot in 6k it doesn't matter you can just stabilize in post. Trying to decide if I should shoot my next music vid with my 5d MK3 or rent one of these. I directed a music vid shot on dragon it came out pro but I didn't DP it.
hi... thanks for this video, it helps me lot but... can you tell me the details of Image sensor size of Red cameras all models and setting of video, which will be the best for professional film shooting, like Saturation, contrast, sharpness and all
Hello! I'm working with the Epic-x mysterium-x and i would like to understand how can i use the HDRX files, it's only on RED cinema or i can use those on DaVinci. How FLUTS works? Thanks to anyone who answers
I'm not sure if those are "features" but RED has worked hard to make moire and aliasing pretty non-existent on these cameras, especially when done at a low compression ratio
what is the recommended computer specs for editing the r3d footages? and by editing i mean the whole shebang. standard offline to online editing no vfx.
Short answer...yes it will work. Dragon sensor is large, but not as large as a full-frame sensor found in something like a 5D. It's larger by a bit compared to traditional S35. If any lens you are using has coverage issues you can "window" in the sensor to make sure you are getting good coverage. The 6K HD setting I find covers most lenses in most situations, and still gjves you a 6K image.
So, if I shoot this camera at 1080 and then I shoot at 6k but I downsample to 1080 the two shots will be different and the second will be better in terms of quality? I didn't know that.
crazyRyoga Exactly like how 35mm movies from Blockbuster looked much better on VHS than home videos did, or a feature film still looks better at 240p on RUclips than a webcam at the same resolution. The higher quality the source material, the better it'll look down-sampled to a lesser medium.
+crazyRyoga Lots of games now do that if you have a monstrous GPU, they render for something like 2880x1620 then downsample to your native 1920x1080 and the quality is much finer to the point that you don't need to use any other sampling technique to remove jaggy edges.
Would you recommend buying the Red Epic dragon used over a brand new red scarlet w since they're about the same price ?! Btw Has anybody used both of these cameras to shoot commercials and films ?

6k camera and 1080p video ,kewl
Thanks for doing these tutorials, you got me up and running fast!
Great video guys! Enjoyed renting from you.
Awesome video, informative and easy to watch!
great review. Thanks. and the RED WEAPON looks even more amazing- in particular with a smaller form factor and the mini mag on the side.
Cuts are over 9000!!!
Makes video about one of the best cameras in the game, shots have different WB, subject is out of focus, audio is bad.
You kill me bro
Please set same WB in angles.... please...
We rushed this video with about 5 min of setup time since the cameras were needed on set ASAP, so in our haste we had some color balance issues
BrainBox Cameras Ever heard of colour correction in davinci/redcine, etc, etc... ;^>
going tem 3600 night light sun light 5600
Unnecessary bashing. Just appreciate the knowledge he's sharing and don't nitpick. He did a hell of a job, quick straight to the point. Good job guys!
well said....great job
great editing right here people!!!
AWESOME Camera Now you got me Dreaming GREAT VIDEO Thanks
i can't wait for 4k rec 2020 tvs.
Thanks im jus getting into video production and this pretty much sold me on the red dragon . Rite on
Thank you for the intro. Appreciate it!
Thanks for the great introduction!
With 2 mirrors you could've shot the tutorial with the Dragon while having it in the frame.
Really helpful video for new cinematographer
Thanks for sharing this, this was very helpful.
Oh lord, this is what MKBHD uses to shoot is RUclips videos
Nope, he is using the scarlet, but I think he will upgrade to the dragon soon, I'm a big fan of the camera, I have tried it out a couple of times. It's just amazing!
BGHM Tech no he already upgraded he said that in his reddit AMA when asked
Oh I didn't know, but thanks for saying it mate!
Ok… why not?
***** u must not be informed , I was on his reddit AMA , he said he uses red epic dragon now , check his Instagram ,"MKBHD" he has the pic there
Awesome video, thank you!
I need one of These asap
So many keyboard warriors slagging off your production values with no videos of their own on their channels. :) Hahahah RUclips Heroes make me laugh.
Irrespective of the issues you are aware of, the video was pretty informative. Not many like this on the Dragon.
Thank you so much
Please keep doing more videos
This is the camera I use for daily vlogs.
Brainbox is a great rental house. Good group of guys.
With the HDRx function will that work with fast motion or will the frames not match up? I notice when I use HDR on my Nikon D800E it only works well with still subjects as you get a funny double image happening on object motion..

This is a major milestone in camera technology because a digital camera has surpassed film in dynamic range. Formerly, color negative film provided the most possible dynamic range at 16 stops, but now a digital cinema camera delivers 16.5!?!
TheZacman2 Image what you could do with half a stop! The possibilities!
Interesting! So that’s why a lot of new video I just don’t like the look as as much as the 80s - 2000 cameras. Some of the footage around that time just had such a good feel. To many digital downsides and options now.
This red camera is genius .. 🎥📷📹📡💽📀💽💻
a video about an amazing camera with ungraded and no synchronised clips.... great job
All the way , awesome
This is a great camera
Surprised not many guys are using the Nikon D800 instead of the Canon. It has a much nicer image especially in the shadows. The canon always looks to contrasty and enhanced with compressed blacks ..
Holy crap that is a wicked camera... I just got a 4k camera and now I'm having to update my PC xD I wonder how much one costs?
Polymer Clay Artist Not sure if i found the right price but the one i found is about €17.695,00
+Polymer Clay Artist it takes 30 minute to take one picture cost you can't find correct setting even if you did you'll be will unsatisfied because you'll think i should have bought 8k. greedy, imagine world first camera and be thankful that you got decent 720p camera watchable...

good vid, thank you!
Thanks dude for sharing
amazing !
Thanks for the vid👍🏾👍🏾
Red cameras! thank you Lord
"iso for those of you who don't know"
Who would be watching a video on a red dragon camera and not know what iso is lol.
Me
^
I was going to write this lmao
a fucking vlogger....you would be surprised XD
A Hedge Funds Manager?
thanks for the base walkthrough
GREAT GUIDE SIR !!!!!!!
Is there a way to turn on focus zebras / focus assist? I’m coming from using an BlackMagic Ursa the zebras to show what’s in focus was lovely.

OMG the Red Dragon is more scarier than red epic!
haha.. best sensor currently in existence, !!VariCam!!
hey what field monitor is on top of the camera? looks nice and light.? nice video
6k!!! holy crap how do you edit
That's so awesome
AWESOME!!!!
would you recommend buying this camera today but used ??? if it's in a good condition do you think its worth buying it and used accessories too ??
excellent review/tutorial dude! question: when using HDRx does it take a lot more ssd space? or the RED is only providing more metadata?
this video was very inspiring...
Will using this look better than filming on my iPhone 5?
that was nice!
what is the best film look profile setting step by step
very informative thank you
hi... thanks for this video, it helps me lot but...
can you tell me the details of Image sensor size of Red cameras all models
and setting of video, which will be the best for professional film shooting,
like Saturation, contrast, sharpness and all
Love it
Awesome!!!! Damn this is so hot
Thanks for the Info...
where can I get a video tutorial about mastering the camera RED DRAGON? Thanks
great machine
Thanks!
Hi, there is 2 track in HDRx in red dragon camera one is A track n 2nd is X track in HDRx, which is the good, n what is the difference between both
1:50 besides the file size/memory consumption, what are the draw backs of HDRx?
I love how the video isn't in 4k
Yup, not enough 4k cameras to film 4k cameras at the time, so we shot on C300s
Awesome
Indah nya suasana mlm ini
Very good.
i like it!
Hello! I'm working with the Epic-x mysterium-x and i would like to understand how can i use the HDRX files, it's only on RED cinema or i can use those on DaVinci.
How FLUTS works?
Thanks to anyone who answers
Let see some 6K video - what with the 1080p ?
I don't think RUclips could hack 6k
actually youtube does have 6k, I once upload a small 4K PRORES video to youtube, and it resolve to 6K video
+John Pham
fr? Awesome
Does this camera also have moire and aliasing. 2 features DSLR and mirrorless camera makers seem to always add to their cameras.
I'm not sure if those are "features" but RED has worked hard to make moire and aliasing pretty non-existent on these cameras, especially when done at a low compression ratio
which sensormode should I pick to shoot with an 1,5x Anamorphic?
What are the recommended computer specs when dealing with the RED Dragon during post?
Nice camera, but it looks really complicated!
i like this bro
is Cannon T4i better?
rofl
Not for cinema productions, but it can be as good as the dragon in some cases
what is the recommended computer specs for editing the r3d footages? and by editing i mean the whole shebang. standard offline to online editing no vfx.
what are red's used for filing music videos?
Sorry I couldn't hear you since I don't have ears anymore. Thanks for the setup guide though :)
nice
I think you did not color correct or balance your camera one and camera two videos ?
We rushed this video with about 5 min of setup time since the cameras were needed on set ASAP, so in our haste we had some color balance issues
thank you
How long does it take to transfer a 512GB card through the reader, to your computer/laptop?
Has the Dragon a super 35 or full Frame Sensor...because i would you the canon cine Zooms and i dont kone if that work....could you help me?
Short answer...yes it will work. Dragon sensor is large, but not as large as a full-frame sensor found in something like a 5D. It's larger by a bit compared to traditional S35. If any lens you are using has coverage issues you can "window" in the sensor to make sure you are getting good coverage. The 6K HD setting I find covers most lenses in most situations, and still gjves you a 6K image.
What mattebox are you using?
Thanks
How does a Xenar III compare to an Ultra Prime or a Master Prime?
Xenar III's compare very favorably to Ultra Primes.... Master Primes though are still on another level.
So, if I shoot this camera at 1080 and then I shoot at 6k but I downsample to 1080 the two shots will be different and the second will be better in terms of quality? I didn't know that.

I suppose this could be a great place to start a flame nikon vs canon.
what's the best way to sync time code between two red dragons? abox?
Would you recommend buying the Red Epic dragon used over a brand new red scarlet w since they're about the same price ?! Btw Has anybody used both of these cameras to shoot commercials and films ?
on 1280x720 resolution what is the frame rate? and in the lowest resolution that camera can record what is the highest frame rate???
What lens do you have on it?
kamera świetna !
