I've used REDs in both enviroments. On a multi-million dollar feature and on no budget shorts. They work very differently in each setting. If you can afford to kit one out properly and afford the crew that requires, they will smash pretty much anything out of the water. If you're a solo shooter who is going to slap a lens on the front and start shooting, they'll be your Achilles heal. Like the Alexa Mini, this camera is not designed to support solo shooter enviroments. It works alright, but you'll find better work flow in an FS7 II or Ursa Mini Pro. BUT, if you are shooting on a production with a camera team ready to conquer the challenges and with the proper gear and accessories to make this shine you won't regret it. That being said, the Alexa Mini is a massively superior camera in nearly every way imaginable ( other than resolution).

It's for entertainment and our enjoyment...so enjoy looking at a 140k piece of kit and the IQ that it provides.

[@disco1974ever]

Dan Chen! Yes! It's amazing that RED have made such an incredible camera so cheap at $50k. The "issues" discussed in this and Linus' review are like LTT got hold of a GP F1 Ferrari and gave it to his mum to review. She hated that it didn't have a cup holder or a makeup mirror with lights. Even the care. Those mags don't fault if taken care of properly.

buys a 150k camera, talks about beeing a small business owner at the end of the video

[@JJJJ-uq6gg]

Sounds about right. Better equipment cost more than that nowadays. For larger businesses (edging into movie and digital film area) to buy decent cameras goes into the millions, thats why most productions rent. (Heck, even the mobile rigs that field news people use are up there in the price, but have near zero resell value as they are not indoor only, and thats for 1080p only.) Though, I would put Linus in more of a medium owner bracket. Once you have over a million subscribers, the ad revenue from that most likely exceeds the small bracket even with overhead. Just my input.

[@interestinglad]

actually it's only 8k

[@David-ly7lh]

Wait, he's not considered a small business? Shall we just put him into the income bracket of high earners like Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, or any other company? No, because people who can't spell "being" probably have no fucking clue what's even going on right now.

[@guguemichaels]

@@JJJJ-uq6gg First off, Hollywood cinematographer do not invest in cameras because each director asks for a different camera based on their film. Because of that, studios or the producers of major films rent all equipment based on what the DP requests. So get your facts straight.

[@aaronharris102]

GuGu is right. If you decide to purchase a camera of this calibre, you need to be sure you'll get the use out of it. If the camera isn't being used multiple times a week, throughout the year (while also earning enough to pay for both the camera and operation), you're best hiring a camera for shoots.

[@disco1974ever]

The camera is $50k. 6 years ago we filmed HBO series Spartacus on a $250k HD Sony Cam. The best Film Cams cost half a million. It's arguably THE BEST digital cinema camera ever made. The issue isn't how expensive it is but how cheap it is. Unfortunately now it can be afforded by people who don't know how to use an elite camera. It's like complaining a F1 Ferrari doesn't have cup holders or lights for the make up mirror.

[@TANMAN9095]

[@danijel-ch2gk]

Interesting story, Ashley - I thought film cameras, from pocket still cameras to top movie ones were on average cheaper than their digital counterparts?

[@mondotv4216]

Why is it arguably the best camera ever made? Because its 8K? I prefer Arri's colour science and except for the specialty areas of VFX, stabilisation and re-framing the extra resolution is not detectable even in a cinema. Check out Steve Yedlin's resolution tests at NoFilm School nofilmschool.com/2017/08/yedlin-camera-resolution-myths

[@ggh_-ts6pn]

I dont know if RED is the best camera. ARRI Alexa is still better and more reliable workhorse IMHO that's why so many Hollywood cinematographers and directors prefer ARRI over RED.

[@h00b00]

And I think the quality upgrade really shows. But just as important as the camera are the lights and the set decorations (and the hand model ;) that add to the lovely frame of each of your videos.

[@gothick2]

AMAAAAAAZING!!! :O - Not just the resolution, but what you can do with it, even if you never use the 8k for final video.

[@sunnyspeed-studio]

I think the REAL reason is "We have the money". If I have the money, i will get a 8K RED camera to film my little one everyday, so that when they grow up, they won't feel too bad to watch 8k family video on their 16k TV.

[@bobross5778]

What the hell, no you would not, nor could you. The prep before footage with RED cameras alone would be a nightmare and would take hours. That's saying you have a PC that can edit and store RED at all. Also it takes forever to edit RED footage because they are cinema cameras and they record in RAW ungraded footage. Just getting focus on a 8K camera that looks acceptable would take forever. There is a reason these cameras are used on productions. Source(s): I am a professional photographer and a short film maker

[@George901210]

As a vfx artist, i must say that they spend money without seeing much retaliation because raw its not only for grading and color correction theres a lot going on. Its not a profitable camera for a small production company as they mention in the video

[@anthonys.3544]

The bars are negative space. If you use an ultra wide monitor, when you go into full screen they disappear. I use an ultra wide because I like having the increased peripherals in games is a huge advantage. Unfortunately that means I have black bars on the sides of videos. Not on this one though. I guess they editor of this video just wanted to make a video for their ultra wide fans.

[@FreeSpirit90]

most movies support 21:9. I'd say 98% of them.

[@reelsportrd]

# if it were only 16:9, it wouldn't support uploads of 21:9 footage... Don't you think? ;)

[@CFIREKytb]

# With the new youtube style, you can watch an ultra wide video in the large view mode and it will expand to both sides of your 16:9 screen. That way, you can watch a video not in fullscreen but still have a fullscreen width. So technically, you are getting a larger video in non-fullscreen mode.

[@TheTopMostDog]

21:9 only offers more field of vision in games which calculate their FOV using a vertical measurement. In games where horizontal FOV is limited, you will actually see LESS than someone on a 16:9 monitor.

here's what 2017 shooters often are NOT taught - a digital camera/cinecamera is like a roll of film (middle ages) based on its iso (asa) - and like film shooters of old - you had to learn to push or pull based on the film's asa and your shooting conditions. native iso today is exactly the same - every camera has a native iso, but experienced shooters will know how and when to push or pull the camera's native iso both to capture the look they want in camera - and knowing what they plan for in post. as cameras evolve, they become more forgiving for those untrained - but at the same time, experienced film makers/photographers will know how to use this new found high-end latitude to their advantage.

[@thinkingoutloud3757]

I basically treat adjusting gain away from native ISO/ASA as the last resort. So I sit at native. Need it darker? Think on ND's. Need it brighter? Work on the lighting. It's basically when these first solutions don't pan out that I think of adjusting the ISO/ASA. It's certainly more practical in a run-and-gun situation.

[@AndreiSam]

That opening scene is two of Brandon's hobbies combined

[@Adures]

This video has convinced me that you really don't need that ultra expensive RED camera. 1. Brandon hobby is not an argument for buying one for a company. Company equipment is for company related work. (or at least it's safer that way) 2. Turns out that shit is breaking all the time. For $140,000? That's a refund 3. Most of viewers probably watch it in 1080p on average, consumer grade, 5 year old or older displays, so they wouldn't see a difference between shot from a $30,000 camera and $140,000 camera. 4. Did i mentioned that it breaks all the time and for that price it shouldn't? That's a refund. 5. Corridor Digital is filming actions scenes in open field, you are filming most of the time static scenes in a building. Not really an argument for buying one for Linus media group. 6. Seriously buy something for $30,000 and after 5 years when that stuff might no longer be sufficient buy new $30,000 or $40,000 camera. Still $70,000 ahead. 7. This is really first world problem 8. All in all even after all this bitching from me i appreciate that you guys want to deliver best quality shots possible. Hovewer i'd prefer if you were filmming with slightly worse quality from $30k worth camera and for saved $110,000 got rid of cancerous thumbnails. How about that?

[@swisscheeze3919]

Add3k I

[@AshleyJColeman]

If I was paying that sort of money its because I want equipment that was mission critical and it has to work every time. I agree with you they really should refund and go with something else. Failures happen, but not to that extreme.

[@EliteRocketBear]

They write it off over several years and use it as a way to spike business costs to dodge taxes. Not only that, chances are they might be looking toward expanding their business to shooting footage as a freelance gig or service. Sure, you can do the same thing with much much less expensive cameras, but you cannot really make tech videos about those cameras. The RED line of cameras are hot stuff right now, and titles such as "140 000 dollar camera" and "8k resolution" draws the attention from people who wouldn't know anything about RED cameras or top of the line equipment. Not only that, if they do indeed allow Brandon to expand a branch of the company for providing filming service with the RED camera, they can use the camera itself as a selling point. Besides, in loads of companies the equipment they buy is also used by staff in the downtime. This is nothing different. Purchasing this makes lots of sense from a business perspective on multiple fronts.

[@Adures]

You are right with 2 thing in your comment. 1. I have no idea how video productions works. However i know enough about youtube to know that even $30,000 camera would be an overkill. 2. You are also right about " Making expensive purchases of the same type of kit every year will hurt your company" Hovewer you missed the part where i said "stuff might no longer be sufficient" If as you say barely anything changes in 5 years on camera market that's another reason not to buy RED camera for youtube videos now. I actually do know how to run a company, so you were wrong here. I also think you missed the part of the video where they said that it broke so many times, they had so many problems with it that instead they will just write it down. So there goes your better longevity. More features? This is i think the third time they are compalining that they have to use RED SSD instead SSD of their choice. Ability to use your own ssd seems like a good feature to me. I also doubt they offer better support than than other companies. After some price point the support is mostly the same (very good) We all already established that RED is overkill and i will write it again even camera for $30,000 would be also an overkill. I will also write again that as a viewer i would rather have slightly worse quality which I and 97% of viewers won't notice (don't quoute me on the numbers) and no clickbait titles and no cancerous thumbnails instead. Something which is very noticable and irritating. EDIT: corrected some mistakes EDIT2: I was answering to Elusivity

Honest question: Why not use ARRI? Seems like you guys have been suffering from a lot of headaches from this little monster, ultra high res ARRI cameras may not be quite as high-res as the 8k insanity of RED but are typically a lot more reliable and more intuitive to use. ARRIs are a favorite in cinema, guess you just wanted bleeding edge tech?

[@jonroberson9027]

Arri is the far superior camera in my opinion. Arri has their issue too, but I still prefer the images Arri produces. Even then the best camera in the world is nothing without a good lens. The lenses they are using on their 8K camera don’t do it justice. Throw some Zeiss cp series lenses on there or if they really want the best go for Zeiss master primes. They think the camera is expensive? Just wait until they decide to buy some cinema glass.

[@MoonWalkerTexsRanger]

Well, it's a matter of workflow i'll say. To me Arri is really the cinematographer's camera, with all the heritage of film stock, and all the analog approach. The ways to expose, set and use the camera is different than Red, as well as for the post-production steps.

Arri is best

[@AlbertBuckinghamEllison]

I can completely relate to the benefit of shooting in 8k! In my previous occupation as a Motion Graphic Designer/Video Editor we only had the luxury of a Canon 5d which shot at around 1920x1080 at 25fps with only pathetic Imacs to edit on. Whether we were just adding Lumetri colour, motion tracking, adjusting compositions or throwing on visual effects it was a nightmare with footage looking pixilated on decent displays despite our high quality presets in Encoder. I was actually let go for taking too long over videos thanks to shocking timeline scrubbing previews and rendering when clients were pushing endless amendments with cross-timezone deadlines.

Calico Studios the reason you probably view your photos as better is because the Pixel does not have as shallow of a depth of field as the lens they're using does.

[@elimalinsky7069]

Most of the time 8K video capture is not for actually outputting in 8K, but for downsampling to lower resolutions for a much better approximation of pixel coordinates+color value. The more dense the sampling of light hitting the sensor, the more accurate is the representation in the final video regardless of the output resolution. In terms of if it's overkill for KZbin. I'd say it's a mega overkill for anything with high video compression, which includes any kind of video streaming online. The bitrate simply isn't high enough. The RED cameras are only good for the professional movie and TV series business, where it is possible to deliver the content on UHD Blu-ray. The RED cameras aren't geared towards the consumer market, but for highly professional studios filming commercial video content, hence the high price tag.

[@StringerNews1]

"Most of the time 8K video capture is not for actually outputting in 8K, but for downsampling to lower resolutions for a much better approximation of pixel coordinates+color value. The more dense the sampling of light hitting the sensor..." ...or you could do it correctly with a 3 chip camera. You're mostly correct, except that nobody's buying RED (or any other cinema cameras) to make television, mainly because all those little components are too fragile and troublesome for day-to-day TV production. Also the quality needed for TV just isn't there. Movie production is like a chain made of many weak links, while TV uses fewer, stronger links. Movies spend a year or more on one project, while TV finishes and resets in as little as a day. Take one look at the production schedule of "Linus Tech Tips" and it's clear that they aren't epic filmmakers, as much as egos might believe. It's just the wrong gear for the job.

Really glad to see this collab after Corridor's reaction to Linus's first video on the Red.

I'm really glad I've gotten to know what LTT is all about and I've gotten to see how happy and enthusiastic Linus is about technology now. I've realized how much I love seeing groups of people so passionate about their work, and how much fun they have in the process! Hope Corridor and LTT can collab again in the future!

[@ExarchGaming]

the fact that they deleted a portion of their video and didn't post a correction, making it look like they wanted to cover it up, after Linus turned out to be on the money about the SSDs. It was the bigger dude claiming they had no credibility, that's kinda what this was about, they put their cinematographer on to show that they do have the expertise on the tech, just because linus is the presenter, doesn't mean he writes all the scripts. I am happy to see they're getting along now though, and seemed to have moved this behind them.

[@Wabbit0789]

Think the 8k red was a future outlook on production business. KZbin maybe running in HD at the moment but you don't know what media site you'll be using or what quality they'll be broadcasting your content in. 2k and 4k maybe in the future on KZbin, we would hope.

This sounds like to me that Brandon couldn't separate his dream cinema camera preferences from the company's *actual needs*. Since Linus lets Brandon use the company camera for personal projects, Brandon most likely saw this purchase as an opportunity to try to mix business with pleasure, and pushed LinusTechTips to buy his dream camera. Many companies create fantastic videos with far less expensive cameras, and I didn't see a single reason in this video on why you needed to buy RED.

[@TheNeoModd]

agree 100 %

[@EliteRocketBear]

I don't agree. Anyone could have stepped in and blocked this purchase. You have to bear in mind they can write this camera off for the books, thus spiking business expenditures as a way to reduces taxes. They could have bought a less expensive camera, but none of those offer the potential to use as taglines for tech videos (even people who dont know about top-grade camera equipment watched this video because of the title) or potential way of marketing a future branch of the company. Just like how they expanded with Floatplane, the chances are that Linus Media Group is trying to find fields to expand in beyond KZbin since they've hit the limit of the content they can put out without oversaturating the channel. A good way to do that would be to take pet projects or hobbies from your staff and bring it under a new branch of the company. Chances are they saw an opportunity with Brandon, and let him do his thing. To give you an example of a company doing this is Unity, employees get allotted time to work on personal projects completely separate from their actual work during business hours and they present this work to others. If one of those pet projects turns out to be promising, they put a larger team on it. Allowing this freedom at work generally prevents burnouts, while also being a relatively risk free way for future business expansion.
