Red Dragon’s, Pro I/O’s and Meizler Module’s, Oh My!

Cameras

So there has been some hype over the past few days about the much anticipated Dragon Sensor from Red.  We heard a bit about it at NAB this year and way back when before the Epic-M was being sold.  The second I heard about this new sensor I questioned why a camera company would talk about replacing a sensor on a camera even before the camera was made available for sale.  It occurred to...Read More

Big Ass Light Test at EVS

Cameras

  By: Chris Collins We decided to gather as many edison plug film lights and put them against one another.  We tested tungsten lights, LEDs, HMIs, and flourescents.  We kept it simple: we lit our subject, Simone, with each light without any diffusion and through a 2×3 silk.  Everything took place inside a 12×12 black duvatyne tent. Everything was shot on a Sony Fs100 with Metabones adapter and Zeiss ZE 35mm. Take a look...Read More

I/O Flare 2K SDI Camera

Cameras

Today I got the opportunity to check out the I/O Flare 2K SDI camera in person at Rule Boston Camera.  I saw the I/O camera line at Cinegear and thought it was interesting as I have always been keen to compact cameras that do not require CCU controls.  What sets the camera apart right off the bat is that the camera will do 4:2:2, 4:4:4 or RAW (Bayer).  The Iconix 2k and Toshiba lipstick...Read More
