- The epic tale of how I purchased the cheapest DSMC2 Red Weapon Dragon 6k Carbon Fiber camera I have ever seen. A legitimately still incredible camera in 2024. The History, The How, The Why, The Bits, The Bobs, and shooting my latest short film as a test of the camera's legendary capabilities.

The into (dialog) was nothing short of genius.
Might I add DRAMATIC!
Also love your channel too.
@@samuelmyles3102 thanks!
Picked up a dsmc1 dragon 6k myself recently for $2,300 with only 300 hours and I thought that was a steel! but you take the cake with this!!!
Insanely well-produced video, insanely good deal. Can't wait to see what you do next - instantly subscribed after this video alone.
That lowball was perfectly calculated
insane deal, gg mate
That was a really good deal. Enjoy it!
Thanks for the video! Really inspiring! Liked & subscribed
The Weapon Dragon is an phenomenal camera. Helium is still my favorite sensor they've made but that Dragon is a close second. Best skit tones IMO. It can also intercut really well with Alexa Mini footage. I've done pickups on Dragon when the rest of the project was Mini and matching in the grade was super easy. I love the DSMC2 body as well. So many amazing productions have used it, it's honestly a top tier purchase considering how affordable it is now.
Curious why do you like the Helium sensor more than Dragon
Before 5 years i spend 25.000€ for my RED Gemini.
Before i had the Dragon X with Dragon sensor and sometime i miss the look from the dragon. The Gemini looks super clean and safe, i can shoot this camera the next 8 years and it would be top tier.
Have fun with your camera ❤🎉
I'd like someone to make such kind video about Lumix s5iix... so much sincerity, love, knowledge, oooooh thanks again
That's the fasted sub I've had in a good long while.
I once got to enjoy a extra long inspection at custom for my RED WEAPON Camera. Funny name funny times
I think you really nailed the audio in the 50’s flashbacks. I would love to know/learn how you did it. That’s probably the best version I have seen. Share? :)
Its actually just a plugin called Izotope Vinyl. Its free and super simple, but Ive been using it for a few years now. Crazy how good it is. And thanks for the comment Scott! Big fan!!
@@gr_winnett That’s awesome. I’ll check it out. Thanks for the love. I subbed as soon as you laughed and said “Is it good dumb?”
Hell of a deal 🔥
You scored big. Congrats.
Great video! Very entertaining.
spectacular recommended pull, instant sub
Damn! What a deal.
That headshot done with the PDW700 looks immaculate!
I honestly can’t believe how well ive been able to grade the pdw-700 footage. It’s a camera a friend of mine and I found. Literally in a dumpster. But I thought it was worth taking home and seeing if it worked. DumpsterCam!
I've only just watched the intro but I'm subscribing!
Red… it’s less ink. Ha! Loved the video and creativity. Keep it up!
🔥🔥 Great video
8:21 bro you wildin’ 😂🤣😂
Great deal!
Great video!!
May I ask where you found this e-waste company? Fascinating.
This is great
That is really Amazing. You got a crazy good deal. I am searching for GEMINI 5K nowadays, but I still need to be lucky that you are. But a lot of RED is now coming on eBay, and you will see more in the future as technology gets very advanced. Red has also gone with Nikon; people need to know what is next, and the Media is the most expensive part. But RED finally moved with CFexpress Type B that is so cheap and fast. And easly available, I am checking right now the 2TB Card on BH Photo cost just 400 dollars including tax. Yes, Red Ranger is the best right now; many of them are coming from eBay. And they are the best. And a fraction of the cost, as I see, is 9k or less. And accessories right now on ebay available.
Or you spend some hours to crack the media. 1TB is now around 100-200 euro :D
Instant Subscribe Bro lol this video is amazing,
You are a lucky man, sir.

I just picked up a red on eBay and it is sweeeeeeeeeet
Create, enjoy, don’t listen to people in the comments 🤟🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I just enjoy the discourse!
Me encanta la idea de encontrar una ganga de esas 😅
Just watched the video. Price of camera who knows. How the short film looks. Know body knows
What did you use to shoot the black and white pieces? it looks nice lmao
I shot those (and different parts of the whole thing) on an old Sony PDW-700 2/3” hd broadcast camera (upscaled to 4k). The b&w part specifically on a very funky standard def lens from an even older Betacam SP camera. I was just trying to get as soft and imperfect an image as possible for the base look out of camera.
Then did the black and white grade with the old version of Filmconvert from a few years ago, plus an overlay of really dirty film grain i found to finish it off.
Even though you suck at uploading videos (like me), you should make more of them…
cool story
So you got a Nikon
was it possibly an camera a company bought for tax reasons and an employee toyed with just to put it away, and no one to use it again?
Could be. Who knows! One thought i had is if it was bought as a backup body or something that never got used.
Even the firmware when i got it was from 2017. So its just so many mysteries at once.
nopeYOU MISSED 2 vv 8k Cf bodies tht came up for about 7 k total low hrs it not good also and I know how to service them but Weapon Bodies aka CF are / 6k dragons are great buys
37 hours…. Dear god
Can it do 1080 60 fps
It can. It can also do 60x5 fps at 1080. As many frames as one used Mini Mag cost in $$$
The cheapest red camera is the red scarlet x
It’s subjective. I’d say the Red Raven is even cheaper than that... heck, even DSMC1 being cheaper than that. He scored a much better quality camera for a steal of a price.
@@InfamousStar1 no red raven is 1500 i got my scarlet x for 999
the title has elipses and makes it clear he found the cheapest Red Dragon not the cheapest Red camera
E-waste??? Score!!
I like your video, but taking 3 minutes to get the the point and repeating the intro. Jesus 😅 I mentally checked out
The grain emulation your putting on the RED footage is way too much, I would tone it down, in my opinion. The backstage footage from the B-cam looks easier to the eye than the heavy contrasty grain filled thing
To me grain is a thing of the past. Grain basically is a technical shortcoming of old camera tech. To me it does not look good. I want a clean image.
Lol The grain is Nice -
@@mortenjensen946 Grain is nice when its subtle, to add texture and dynamism to the image. But at this level its just destroying information. Also, that ammount of grain doesnt work well with TH-cam compression, it ends up looking chunky and mushy
Subtle gain is ok, the exterior shots with grain looks weird, makes more sense in low light
I love it. Do your thing your way. Don't know why you don't like it as if you're in his creative mind and you know what the look he wants to achieve. You don't like it, move to other channels on YT. Well done man!
Definitely good dumb*
