hey guys this is Austin what's it like to unbox a fifty thousand dollar camera with a massive 6k sensor the red weapon is about as high-end as a video camera gets the embossing experience is no joke with a full hard shell carrying case crack it open and you'll find the weapon itself this is the woven carbon fiber version which not only looks killer but it's also able to be upgrade to 8k next year for some real overkill action for now it's rocking only a 6k dragon sensor but I guess you'll just have to try to survive somehow pull the camera itself out of the box and there are a few more accessories hidden below the foam cutouts for the rest of your gear including a pair of olp s for different situations along with the beefy and wildly overpriced handle for the weapon it also comes with a generic power adapter and most importantly a red sticker to let everyone know just how cool you are peel off the plastic protector and it's officially ready to go first powerful as the camera is it's actually fairly small it's when you start adding modules and accessories does it start to resemble a cinema camera that carbon fiber isn't just for looks either it shaves a bit of weight off but most importantly you get the upgrade internals for the future 8k upgrade up top you'll find several mounting points along with the exhaust fans for keeping all that pixel crushing power cool the base model comes with a PL mount for cinema lenses but like most things it's swappable to take other lenses like Canon glass with the included red bolt and display modules you get a fair few options for getting power and and video out but with a few screws you can remove both modules to get to the brain itself remove the PL lens mount and you can see that big dragon sensor with 19 megapixels and the ability to record 6k video at up to 100 frames per second it's capable of generating an enormous amount of data since it's so customizable you really can rig it out however you want with all kinds of modules but in this case we're keeping it simple with a canon lens mount which works well with the Cinna lens well once you bounce the camera out anyway build it out as a handheld ray again it absolutely looks the part you still have plenty of mounting points all over to go crazy with along with the other modules to give you more features the 7 inch 1080p monitor is absolutely killer not only is it detailed enough to make focusing easy but since it's a touchscreen you can easily change settings right from the monitor it also has a small display built into the camera for when you aren't using a monitor or have an assistant dialing in settings one of the things that makes red camera special is the ability to shoot raw video this means you can adjust all kinds of settings after the fact pay this with a massive 16 stops of dynamic range and you can pull a ton out of a shot with that 6k resolution you can crop into an almost ridiculous degree so much detail coming in color is also a huge selling point for the weapon huge projects like gone girl have been shot on dragon so having natural easy to work with color is a huge help the red weapon dragon is an insane camera you might not need it for your new vlog but the next time you've got a movie to shoot this is your camera if you want to see it in action go check out my friend jake from vsauce3 who is awesome enough to let me unbox his new camera he's already shot some incredible videos on red already and the weapon is only going to make things even crispier
