Same here ahahhaha LOL

lol

I was just about to comment this haha

I'm president of this "B.A.H" Club..haha

It really is. Which in RED terms means that it's going to be randomly outdated for no reason in 3 months and discontinued.

First of all, they aren't 16-17 stop cameras, they are 14-15 stops, and while I agree that they are great tools, they are heavy, eat batteries and are a bit overpriced imo.

Gordon Casey that means we can get one cheaper if we wait:-)

Did ya get it?

THIS! And the dude states that the Gemini (a $20k body only camera) is the best bang for buck in 2018. HAHAHAHAHAHA

Enjoy the new gear!

Wow

Thank you Tomas -Rob

What's up Tyler!

I saw that too. I'm I'm the same place as you are

The difference between 1/50 and 1/40 is very minimal. The low light ability is impressive but best appreciated in person.

Red cameras are very reliable, they are designed to work on movie sets where it is key that they don't fail and they are certainly catching up to Arri as far as how much they are being used on sets. The DSMC2 Brain is said to have a near silent fan as well. Thanks! -Joey P

Reliability has been great! No issues with it. Same goes for the Amira. The DSMC1 had more issues but RED has stepped up their game.

@@BandH I wasn't expecting this kinda response but you guys rock !! THANK YOUUUUU

According to Rob, they use a mixture of Canon L primes, Zeiss Milvus Primes and Zeiss Ultra Primes. bit.ly/CanonL-PrimeLenses bit.ly/ZeissMilvusLenses Thanks for watching!

@@BandH Thank you very much Marcelo - Rob

If you have an EF mount on your RED camera you can use lenses like the Canon 85mm F/1.4 and 16-35mm. Those are great lenses. Thanks! -Joey P

@@BandH Thank you Joey. The reaseon I ask - I have the RED Gemini and the Canon C 300 MK II (both EF) for image- and doc-films. The Canon is sharper. The RED has a higher framerate but images in all speeds need to be sharpened in post. Since I have used only foto lenses so far, I wonder if the RED would have sharper images with Cine lenses. I wonder what you think.

​@@mageefilms The best performance and images would be had with Cine lenses. >Mark

The Gemini has a dual sensitivity low light sensor. It is the better choice of the two for low light. Thanks! -Joey P

Me too

@@kylehalim5957 thanks! right? like i just saw the new DRAGON X video and damn... that sensor has all the cinematic magic, but as much i wanna love Gemini, it looks too.... video like to me.... please anyone share a nice link to proof me wrong! please!

Yea, but honestly, I don't think RED's place in the industry is to provide a distinctly filmic look like Arri for example. A big reason Arri Alexa feels filmic right out of the box is its lower resolution and *extremely* smooth highlight rolloff. Now RED can stand to improve on the latter for a smoother softer image, but the video look is, in effect, the result of a high resolution digital image. If you look at the Arri Alexa LF/65, they both look much more video-like than the Alexa/Amira line, even though it's just a stack of the same sensor. Meaning the most significant change there is the resolution. Similarly, RED's One MX, Scarlet, and other older bodies look more 'filmic' than their newer 5k-8k with cleaner low light performance. Blackmagic; same thing. People don't find the new pocket cinema camera to be as 'filmic' as the old one, despite it being by all standards a much better camera. Sony F35 vs Sony F55/65, same arguments. Basically filmic in most people's terms = nostalgic image quality. That's not to say you can't make the footage look filmic, but it'll take more effort than just pulling the footage out of camera and throwing a LUT on it.

i think lot depends on the glass and the post , cuz from a good "raw" footage, you can make the material looks as you want to look like...

For what I know after a interns research, RED IPP2 has improved a lot highlights rolloff, noise and others elements, getting their image closer tp Arri, etc etc etc... but for some reason that is not what I meant, I can't really say what it is, had a couple of discussions about it with DOPs, maybe is the absence of noise, which provides a level of clarity that I'm not used to, but even in daylight footage, it looks too wiped up for me, something like the first time I saw HD footage beside 35mm celluloid film, not sure if I'm explaining myself properly, is what I feel, maybe I'm wrong. Thanks for your answers guys.

This video was shot on a RED Gemini. The lens was a Sigma 20mm.

The Red Digital Hydrogen One phone has been discontinued and is no longer supported or sold. The RED GEMINI will not connect with mobile phones. >Mark

@@BandH Thanksss for your answer

It looks like it matches cause of youtube compression but, people use the RED for all the leg room you get when editing & cause it does look good on your resume when you have experience with cinema cameras, though for youtube something like a GH5 is a great camera

Shot in 5K, exported in 1080

youtube quality lol

Yeah I never understand that. People demoing 8k cameras and rendering out to 1080, RU-vid compression is bad enough you don't need to divide the resolution by 16.

Current pricing can be found here: bit.ly/Red-Gemini-5K-Brain-Only

Yes, the Gemini 5K is Netflix approved.

Gemini is like

nextstar55 better than the helium??

Have you tried the newer sensors the dragon has an insane amount of movie compared to helium or monstro

Yeah totally.
