Unfortunately I am in Vietnam so could not make it out to Red Day =(. However, thanks to some cool Redusers who did make it out to Red Day (to name a few Roberto Lequeux, Dan Graetz and Brad Web) we have the following pics and info below from the main Feb 13th Reduser Day thread.
The Arctic X Shield, an electronic EVF heater for the RED Camera, begins shipping next week. "There are a lot of features in this thing, and we'll add cool stuff as we go along, but we're finally ready to roll this out.
We expect this should help in the following:
Allows the EVF to work in below freezing temps (base model) or sub zero temps (endurance model)
It's light weight and complete coverage serve as additional protection for the EVF from bumps and hits
It should help increase the EVFs resale value when it comes time to upgrade to the Bomb EVF"
Here is a glimpse over at reduser.net of the upcoming new cine style follow focus from O'connor who just expanded into developing new accessories for the camera market. "The OConnor cine-style follow focus will be available for preorder in March. Delivery is scheduled to begin in April." Notice the low profile design? very nice!
"The ManHandle is a tools free handle solution for the Red Camera. Designed by working ACs and camera Operators, it provides a strong, secure means of picking up the camera. Made from 6061 Aluminum and Mil-spec anodized, the ManHandle has all stainless steel fasteners." MORE INFO HERE.
MVQUICK is a hot swap system to be installed as a battery interface between the camera (or any other V-lock compatible device) and the battery pack. The main purpose is to allow camera battery replacement without any power interruption through an automatic detection of the battery removal. Additionally, MVQUICK provides an alternative power source of about 21Wh to be used as UPS in case of a sudden power failure or extended power requirements.
MVQUICK is designed to work perfectly even with RED® ONE cameras.
