What if you had\u00a0access to the ultimate camera rig? What\u00a0would it include? What would it cost?<\/p>\n
In this post,we\u2019ll show you a number of options for building a solid dream RED camera loadout and give you the full price of each. We\u2019ll rundown all options currently available through RED and give you a real idea of what it would cost to add a RED to your arsenal.<\/p>\n
One note, as filmmakers looking to earn a living through your craft don\u2019t be afraid to look into used gear, but be cautious. Most filmmakers selling used gear, especially used RED gear will be more than happy to answer any questions you have. It can be a large financial investment, so guard yourself and do your research.<\/p>\n
For the following\u00a0load-outs we’re\u00a0sticking with New<\/i> or Battle-Tested<\/i> RED Gear. FYI, used gear through RED goes through a rigorous factory refurbishment process. Those units deemed worthy are then sold as \u201cBattle Tested\u201d.<\/i><\/p>\nFRESH OUT OF FILM SCHOOL AND WILLING TO TAKE ON A LITTLE DEBT<\/h3>\n
First up is the RED One MX. RED has discontinued this line of cameras, however you can still find used battle tested units for sale. Before it was discontinued the RED One MX was used on many\u00a0major film productions (especially until the release of the RED Epic MX). For this loadout we\u2019ll include a battle tested\u00a0RED One (Brain Only) <\/i>and\u00a0give you the add-ons you need to start filming.<\/p>\n
