The RED Epic is an S35mm+ (1.3 crop still equivalent) sensor camera that can shoot up to 120fps at 5k resolution (300fps at 2k). You can shoot up to 120 14mp RAW stills per second. The Epic sensor natively has over 13 stops of dynamic range. HDRx mode allows you to dial in up to 6 more stops of highlight protection giving you a maximum dynamic range of over 18 stops. With REDCODE RAW you can chose how much compression you need. REDCODE 12:1 allows you to shoot 2 hours of 5k on a 256gb SSD drive while REDCODE 3:1 mathematically uncompressed gives you true lossless RAW. Adobe Premiere, After Effects, and Sony Vegas allow drag n’ drop editing of 5k RAW files. Apple’s Final Cut requires transcoding to their ProRes codec.

- Image Stabilization is functional on the entire stabilized lens lineup.
- The Titanium mounts are machined out of solid Titanium.
- Current EPIC builds all support Iris control over the mount. An early AF build will be released around the time when the mounts ship. This will include basic touchscreen autofocus.
- Switching is a field safe procedure ( in a clean area ) and literally involves unscrewing 4 bolts and swapping mounts.. Then check back focus ( if needed )
- The Canon lens mount is “SMART” which means it controls camera Iris, Image Stabilization, and Autofocus electronically, via the various control options with EPIC ( touch screen, side handle, REDMOTE )
- A lot of people have problems with Canon lenses sometimes being loose in their mounts on their DSLRs. RED has added a locking mechanism ( as you can see in the photo above ) so you bayonet the lens into the mount as normal, and then rotate the locking to double secure the lens. No more rotation, no more wobble
- All lens data available from the lens will be stored in the R3D metadata. There is on screen displays for iris stop, focal length ( including zooms ) and the current focus distance in inches or mm.
The RED electronic Canon mount currently supports these lenses:

We offer a turnkey 3D solution, consulting with you in pre-production, providing the 3D rig with rig tech and stereographer, onset RAW data verification and instant playback on a 3D monitor and finally walking you through every step of post production.
We rent pairs of the RED Epic camera to be used on either side by side or beam splitter 3D rigs. The RED Epic camera is ideal for 3D due to it’s extremely small size and weight. We also have packages available with 2 x Epic cameras and Element Technica’s Atom 3D rig.
Click here or call us at 323.770.6155 to get on our rental reservation list.
Here is a list of major Hollywood feature films shooting RED Epic 3D in 2011:
John Schwartzman the DP on “Spiderman” (Oscar nominated for “Seabiscuit”, DP on “Pearl Harbor, “The Rock”, “Armageddon” etc.) had this to say about Epic and the TS-5 3D rig:
For the first time in digital cinematography, small size doesn’t come with a resolution penalty, as a matter of fact there isn’t a higher resolution camera available other than IMAX, and this one weighs 5lbs with an ultra prime on it, suddenly 3D isn’t a 100lb beast! We had the cameras on dollies and a libra head today and we flew the 3D rig like it was an Arri 435.
Why should I shoot with this camera?
The RED Epic is an S35mm+ (1.3 crop still equivalent) sensor camera that can shoot up to 120fps at 5k resolution (300fps at 2k). You are basically shooting 120 14mp RAW stills per second. The Epic sensor natively has over 13 stops of dynamic range. HDRx mode allows you to dial in up to 6 more stops of highlight protection giving you a maximum dynamic range of over 18 stops. With REDCODE RAW you can chose how much compression you need. REDCODE 10:1 allows you to shoot to CF cards or 4 hours of 5k on a RED drive while REDCODE 2.5:1 mathematically uncompressed gives you true lossless RAW but will require extremely fast SSD drives.
- FRAMERATES: 120FPS @5k, 225FPS @2k
- SENSOR: 14 MEGAPIXEL MYSTERIUM-X™
- PIXEL ARRAY: 5120 (h) x 2700 (v)
- S/N RATIO: 66db

- MAX IMAGE AREA: 5120px (h) x 2700px (v)
- LENS COVERAGE: 27.7mm (h) x 14.6mm (v) x 31.4 mm (d)
- DEPTH OF FIELD: Equivalent to S35mm (Motion) / APS-H (Still) lenses Equivalent to 16mm (Motion) lens in 2K RAW
- WEIGHT: 5lbs with lens mount and side SSD module
Why should I shoot with this camera?
The RED Scarlet is a 2/3″ sensor camera that shoots 3k resolution up to 120fps sustained and short bursts up to 150fps. The fixed lens version comes with a professional 8x electronic zoom lens while the interchangeable Scarlet can be equipped with a lens mount of your choosing but will work best with high quality S16mm lenses and the miniRED primes.
- FRAMERATES: Sustained 120FPS @3k with bursts up to 150fps
- SENSOR: 5.3 MEGAPIXEL MYSTERIUM-X™
- DYNAMIC RANGE: 13.5 stops, up to 18 stops with HDRx™
- DEPTH OF FIELD: Equivalent to 2/3″ format
Why should I shoot with this setup?
The Element Technica Atom (for Epic) and Neutron (for Scarlet) 3D rigs are by far the lightest and most compact 3D solutions available. The Atom rig has the electronics for genlocking and muxing built into the structure of the rig itself which allows for an almost wireless rig.
We offer a turnkey 3D solution, consulting with you in pre production, providing the 3D rig with rig tech and stereographer, onset RAW data verification and instant playback on a 3D monitor and finally walking you through every step of post production.
ATOM RIG
- WEIGHT: As low as 36lbs for a shooting rig
- ELECTRONICS: Genlock and muxing are built right into the structure of the rig
Why should I shoot with this camera?
If you need to shoot today the RED One camera is the only ultra high resolution RAW motion image capture device currently available. The RED One MX uses the same sensor that is in the Epic camera but is limited to 4.5k resolution and is not capable of the ultra high framerates or cutting edge features like HDRx.
- FRAMERATES: Up to 30FPS at 4k, 120fps at 2k
- SENSOR: 10 MEGAPIXEL MYSTERIUM-X™
- DYNAMIC RANGE: 13+ stops
- DEPTH OF FIELD: Equivalent to S35mm (Motion) lens
