This Camera Costs HOW MUCH?! - 8K RED Weapon Unboxing, HOLY $H!T Ep. 17 

does your furniture only includes a desk and a chair for your PC?

nope, my furniture also included a battery

in total this cost more than my flat

the user is probably upgrading from another camera by them, so the battery would be wasted

He spent more on the camera + accessories + NAS than I paid for my house.

Bitwit hey I know you.

Hayate Azekura same

lol, finally i can see youtuber comment the other youtber

@Caesar Scaletta Few hours ago, Marques Brownlee also commented on this video but I guess that is taken down now.

Somebody tell Red it isn't a race

Lol

I am surprised Apple hasn’t bought them yet

@@Nick_1790 Probably scared that people might start expecting them to actually be a professional brand.

​@@Nick_1790 RED doesn't really give much to Apple. Huawei bought out Leica to get a boost on camera tech but Apple's already got the smartphone camera equation down and they got it down well. They don't need RED's expertise since they're at the top of the game already.

I don't even understand why would anyone buy this. Is there no alternative?

@@aconite72 Apple cameras up until the 7 or 8 have been complete crap , my wife has a iphone 6 and the photos seriously suck . And whats this thing with having to have 3 cameras .

Behrad Farahani with the handle you can pull focus change iris and it can control the camera. I use one with my scarlet w and I can tell you it’s worth it for run and gun/ hand held filmmaking.

@@claytonburns not at all worth $950 though.

@@wta1518 it's the professional world. You can make money with this type of equipment. Red is selling this camera to directors to multimillion-dollar tv shows and blockbusters. For them, if a 950 dollar handle is the difference between having to shoot 5 takes of a scene and 12, they'd gladly take all of Red's stock without looking back

@@akanta5746 true, but that's still extra money that they shouldn't have to spend.

​@@wta1518 I mean, as I said, as consumers it's kind of hard to think about spending 950 dollars on a handle because we compare it to consumer products such as iphones or clothes or stuff like that. But when you're comparing this against professional products, red handles don't fall too out of place. For example, RED's main competitor in the movie industry, arri, charges like 1000 dollars DAILY for renting it.

Linus is quite 'idiot savant' in many ways, like biching about the price AFTER buying the TOTALLY UNNECESSARY RIPOFF $CAM 'products' =)) Here's what a '$mart' manager would say to silly 'requirements' ~> Claim: "We need to re-frame the video after shooting so need bigger frame size like 4K, 8K, 12K, etc.' = Answer: "Shoot it right the first time, & if U can't, find a real camera guy 2 do it." Claim: "Good quality cameras R $uper Expen$ive!" = Answer: "Check the camera review sites & find something that looks GR8 & is also cheap" Claim: "We need super powerful computers 2 edit the high res videos!" = Answer: "Edit it in 720p max because anything over about 1100 pixels wide looks good enough for anybody in the audience & they won't really care about the difference beyond that." Claim: "We need a giant server 2 store all these big ''original' recordings!" = Answer: "Download the 720p version off RU-vid in VP9 because that looks better than the the AV1 & MP4 versions they offer, & there's no point keeping something in higher quality than the audience will ever be able to see it on our channel." Etc...

Difference is that Arri is actually good

Arri is actualy good.

Arri Alexa is industry standard though. That's what the hollywood cameraman uses. It's more than good, it's the best in the world, it's the equipment that will help make a big film, using the best actors that will raise hundreds of millions of dollars in profit, it has to be THE number 1 best video camera, if its not, the DVD wont also hit the shelves of stores or released in popular online stores. Theres quite a gap between Hollywood and RU-vidr

Reviving the Ancients You clearly lack imagination, my friend.

Keep Float Plane Club in mind

Agreed with Yamakaja. They didn't buy these for RU-vid, you can be certain of that. They bought these so they could offer the absolute maximum of quality to the paying floatplane club members.

Steamrick maybe, but is it worth it over 4K? In my opinion it probably isn't. Maybe in 10+ years it would be worth while. I do get that they are likely purchasing for quality improvement, maybe just 4K even, but there has to be better priced options for 4K.

and some of the one-man-crew youtubers will still be much better with their production quality then this whole LTT crew with their RED.

for real though. Check out how bad it is on Rocket League videos lol. it gets completely butchered. i have a few on my channel if you want. no shameless plug lol am not a youtuber.. just uploaded them because im helping out my cousin improve.

na thats was only a lvl 2to3 anger, he reaches high pitch voice at around lvl 6-7 :p

The spit flying out of his mouth Made me glad they got that camera

Firstly, the resolution is kind of irrelevant for most applications. A film would normally be mastered in 4k at best, and it's not uncommon for them to be mastered and delivered in 2k, most cinema projectors are still 2k and I bet you don't even notice. But there is a lot more that goes into it, which makes these cameras so expensive, such as recording in RAW (and red RAW is even compressed, which is all done in-camera!), or the colour science. Which isn''t even the best on the market, and most cinematographers tend to prefer the Arri Alexa line of cameras, which has much better colours and highlights, despite most models shooting in less than 4k. Oh, and lastly, you would usually RENT these cameras, not BUY them, unless you're a big production company that shoots everyday, or perhaps a film school.

@@MarioAtheonio Come on dude, this was obviously a joke

@@ToniTechBoi Of course, but I thought people might be interested in some kind of explanation.

@@MarioAtheonio have u even been keeping up with generics truth about red scam haha.. Bloody hell.. You typed an essay to sound like a dumb ass. Sorry no hate or fighting words. Just truth

Tens Your comment looks like it was automatically generated by a bot. Either way, I’m in no way attempting to justify Red’s shitty business practices such as putting cheap SSDs in their overpriced MiniMags, or their overuse of stupid proprietary connections. I’m just putting things into context as to why production companies pay for their cameras rather than say shoot on DSLRs.

wii8cookies ha haha

Cuz once you pay for the camera, WMM is all you can afford. And it's free. Excluding the cost of Windows, that is.

The platinum coated MONSTER cable

Not supported, i't not a RED branded cable, sorry :/

Firepants20 why shouldn't they. If the product has issues on pricing than they're obligated to inform the public

It's not a pricing issue. RED and companies alike make cinema cameras which are meant for professional productions like movies. With multi-million dollar budgets, camera equipment accounts for less than 5% of the total budget. This means that productions are willing to throw immense amounts of money for high-quality cameras; therefore the camera companies are able to jack the prices up.

Which in turn funds RED's R&D department so they can produce better cameras down the road. The onus is still on Linus for this one; he said so himself that no one has an 8k display (yet), and even if they did, would they really think to themselves that watching Linus Tech Tips in 8k was worth the investment?

agreed. many RU-vidrs use RED for their "RU-vid Crispyness" - how about getting an Alexa Mini to shoot your "crispy goodness"? But nooooooo. they want to shoot 8K in RED RAW and downres to 4K Rec709. These cameras are meant to sit in a cinema production house somewhere, shooting at 8K and being graded down to 2K. They're supposed to mount CP2s and CP3s, but noooo, youtubers use them with Canon L lenses and rave all about how expensive they are and how they need more storage to handle all the 8K crispyness. /facepalm.

For best quality you have to record in a higher resolution (8K) than the aimed resolution (4K), because editing and especially special effects have a destructive property (you lose visual information) when applied to your original footage. That's what I remember from my 3D-2D Art semester, and it's quite true when photoshoping pictures.

Other way around.

And then Apple gets charged $500B for daring to charge them.

Arri: am I a joke to you?

Anonymou s ass cellular try 240 line hahaha

Look up a review of the camera...

lunchbox651 but why do *they* need it

I can see why it's useful to the group. Having 8K video means you can have masses of flexibility when you edit. You can crop in 2x and get a free digital zoom, which makes for a lot of flexibility on the final product. You get the ability to fully adjust colour and tweak brightness in post. But honestly, RU-vidrs buying these things seems redundant to me. The quality of RU-vid is constantly declining thanks to their compression - which was basically the reason for Linus going 4K anyway, so he could claw back a bit of that lost to compression.

That's not what dynamic range is at all. Depth of field is totally different and unrelated to the amount of dynamic range a camera has. DR is about capturing scenes with extra information that gives you the option to change colour balance and exposure in post.

You can be certain Linus, Luke and Brandon had several *long* discussions about the benefits and drawbacks of making this move before committing. Linus knew exactly how much it would cost. He's just expressing his outrage to the world here. Seriously though, I agree with him. Those accessories are just OUCH.

When he talks about the audio expander you can SEE him spit out of pure rage 😂

Of course, greed is disgusting.

The point that is making me mad is that camera like this will be wasted on RU-vid web show. The reason why is that In proper production environment this cost would be nothing(look at end credits of any Hollywood movie) Here's why: What's the difference between photographers and cinematographers? Photographers own their gear - cinematographers rent it. Because of this - highest tear video cameras are are made in such low volumes, that marks up the price. Even more - there are cinema cameras that are so expensive, that you can't even buy them from manufacturer(like ARRI Alexa 65mm), but only rent from them.

3rdHalf the difference between cinematographers and photographers as one does video and one does still images.

How could that fact possibly make you angry? It is a win for Linus, the cinematographers, and Red. This camera will not be "wasted" because supply-and-demand ensures that Red will make another one. Yes, I would agree that the Weapon 8k S35 has no benefit to Linus over the Epic-W ($30,000), as the only difference is frame rates at 8k, but the fact that Linus can afford it, and that he wants to own badass film gear is enough to justify his purchase. It is very clear that you are jealous that Linus can afford this camera and that you can not, but there is no reason to be upset or angry. I would also like to point out how much it would suck if every amateur on RU-vid could afford a Red. All the videos would look flat and boring because nobody knows how to color-grade RAW footage.

the camera is for movie companies who have bottomless pockets so they charge absurd prices for their product. its like the NVidia quadro graphics cards, they are for big budget companies.

True

Lmfao so true

And Linus's face too

Called red because they bleed you dry.

Ninja Einhorn it’s called red cause they want your literal blood money

I bet you'd have to pay $1k each year lmao

Meh, in 30 years you could just buy a $100 phone to do your 8k recording in. Of course, at that time 8k video might be good enough for amateur youtube channels, but real pros would probably have like... I dunno, 128k 360° 4D fully immersive holographic room projections or something?

Bold Chocolate Man you have to pay another 30,000 dollars for that

Nope only 2 years included,

T. kuvesi I can only imagine the price of that red camera with those type of features. You'd probably have to sign your life away.

Lunk Lol so true

Ayy lmao

TheGonzaPoker I know right!

Although it's massively overpriced, red isn't shit by a long shot.

Neovo903 the camera price is one thing, Linus is more pissed off about the ridiculous pricing of the accessories. As a mechanical engineer specializing in materials selection I can tell you that the manufacturing processes and cost of materials for those accessories is nowhere near as much as they’re charging for it, unless they are using the most backwards, unnecessary way of manufacturing ever and the materials are being imported from Saturn by a magical unicorn made of gold.
