Great Video, I've been shooting for 47 years, starting with 16mm, then S16mm and finally 35mm. When Red came out I wanted one but the wife said not yet. I picked up a great Red One MX package in 2018 for $1500. Love the camera. I also have the beast, a Sony f35 which I also love. The nice thing about the red is the Nikon mount. I own about 40 Nikkors mostly primes and all manual. The best thing about the Nikkors is the color results of the lens. If you buy them make sure they are pre-1986 build, why? because the glass has lead in them and you can't beat the look, looks like a $20K lens. Keep shooting!
Very interesting ! i bought a Red ONe MX a few weeks ago and i have a nikon mount too. I bought 2 Tokina to do a first step with this camera. I woulf like to buy Red lense but i think the 2nd step will be to buy 3 or 4 Nikkor lenses
RED one mx, fav image of any Red ever built. I just love the organic image, on par with the Sony f35 which was about a quarter-million dollars. We always kept a large cooler with cooling packs to keep it cool in hot climates. It worked decent.
Mine only had 62 hours on it, which was used to shoot Pirates of the caribbean : on stranger tides. But has never let me down since. But yeah the wight is insane. BTW you didn't mention you can get EF mounts for this camera, they are hard to come by but you can, I use one and it works great. Also I don't use the red drives, I have them but don't bother with them, I use red mag SSD's, much easier and more reliable to shoot with, but make sure your camera comes with the redmag bay, alternatively you can buy one and install it (again very hard to get).
Picked up an old red one mx with alot of extras in Melbourne Australia. Rare find down here. Managed to swap out to an ef mount as well. Look forward to using it.
Hi, this camera, I really like the image quality of the Red one mx. I am looking for a film camera, for short films, to record things. The only one that convinced me was the Red Komodo but it is expensive and because of the economy, the red one is lower in price and you would recommend this camera since it is used in many productions, the hobbit, district 9, your video has motivated me to buy this camera and the quality of this camera shows beautiful images.
Big fan of Ravelli tripod too. I must say that mine lost rubber feet pretty easily, mostly shooting on the grass. But Ravelli has the spare part or it's easy to find something that would work. Great vid, by the way
I agree about the organic image. The footage has a unique brand of lo-fi softness to it that just looks "right" to my eye, which is why the R1's weight, startup times, and ergonomic challenges are worth putting up with in 2020. At least for me. I've been piecing my own kit together, trying to have it shoot-ready by the time this pandemic is over (which could be a while). Are you a member of the Red One group on FB?
So glad I found you on my recommended!! I just bought a Red One MX with everything. included a Nikon mount, shoulder rig, nucleus follow focus and the drives. Im so happy to see someone who shoots with this camera still, and yes I agree, the picture is amazing. Happy shooting!!
I love my Red One MX. My Sony a7sII will overheat and shut down (shooting 4K) during Texas summers but the Red keeps going... I shot maybe one project with the Sony last year and everything else with the Red One MX. Also, upgrade to the SSD module... and I use a Bogen 504HD head without issue.
That tripod was the first video tripod I purchased a few years ago. Unfortunately it didn't last long as the metal used for the head seemed to have a lot of defects. Ultimately the plate mount cracked in several places. Not sure if it was a knockoff, or just poor QC.
Hi Aaron, I bought mine 5 years ago and since then prices are quite similar for used R1MX and components...great camera indeed. I would like to know any advice or tips in how hard was to open the Red to replace the fan, I'm planing to open mine to dust it off. I love my camera, it does has magic. By the way, I have managed to fly it using a smooth shooter and a CameTV gimbal...tricky but with practice you can get great organic shots.
Thumbs up’ed and subscribed! Thank you for making this video. Your genuine approach to doing reviews is so refreshing. Also what lens did you use to shoot the shot of your gf at 5:24? I can’t no longer find the thing that holds the hard drive, what is it called? hard drive cradle?
Thank you so much! Yep its called a Red Cradle and they're pretty hard to find if they aren't included in the bundle. I do see them pop up from time to time on eBay. I hope you're able to find one!
Great video right here man! Is there any way you could help me out by showing me the links to find the mechanism you used for attaching your v - mount battery/drive cradle to the plate on the camera; as well as the link for the arm used to attach the Ikan lcd screen on the front? I would really appreciate the help!
Thanks!! Yep I’ll add a link for the arm to the video description and let you know when I do. As far as the V-Mount cradles for the R1, can be really really hard to find. Just subscribe to a Ebay search and you’ll be notified when one is up. I see them from time to time.
Hey there! That’s actually a good point, they do in fact have the same sensor but the image looks completely different out of the scarlet. We used to own one. Something about the original R1 that has something special. Wish it didn’t because it weighs too much!
I find Red One MX quality always better than dragon/monstro/gemini/helium. Its a pity that Red One is not in Netflix approved list. Don't understand why.
thats why i bought scarlet mx in late 2019 - it's same sensor but in a smaller body and i love the film look it gives, i will buy helium for client work, but for passion projects i will use scarlet mx
You need a mini-usb to usb cable and a power cable. You can probably find the one you need at your local thrift shop. Just make sure the output is within the Red Drive specs.
Usually I'll cut everything in premiere and then export that as a LOG DPX sequence to color grade in resolve. The downside is that the file sizes are huge!
"Not supported." That isn't a reason to avoid buying the camera. That is a reason to avoid buying anything from the company. Ten years is not old. I get that Nikon couldn't be bothered to fix a camera that I bought for $80. But that's hella different.

@@mehdikhadouj8935 You're better off with the Nikkors Pre 1986 the color science is awesome.
Does red one mx have any focus pulling tools? Like some kind if red markings on tje monitor?

Totally agree. We love the R1!
I a BMPCC 6k and a Red One MX and I have to say that it is incredible the quality of this old Bad girl!!!

I almost bought one of these before I watched this video. Thank you good sir!
This video was incredible. thanks for all the info just bought this cam last week.
More videos on red one Mx!!
Will do!

Man, Im glad that I found your video. You answered all my questions. Thank you so much!

It's definitely got it's quirks but so worth it, I love this camera! Nope I'm actually not a member on the FB group I didn't know it existed!
I've got one of these for sale in the UK if anyone needs one. Full kit with PL and Nikon mounts, and three lenses.
Blue blue doorway used to be because of the video cargo project at the camera you could instruct another football match
find one with ssd module! or buy ssd module it's about $600

Awesome! Sounds liked you lucked out on a amazing rig. Enjoy it!! I’m glad people are still making stuff with it also. Welcome to the club haha.

Hi ! i bought a Red ONe MX a few weeks ago ! i'm very excited ! Wich lense did you use for the shoot at 5 min 24 (the women). Thanx !
i think you used a Nikon vintage lens ?
I love my Red One! I just got a red drive, but no power supply. Does anyone know what type of power it needs when hooking it up to a computer?
Thanks for the video man!
Bro, what stabilizer are you using at 5:24? That looks smooth and awesome. Guys what are you guys using? Steadicam? Etc.?
Hi Aaron, I bought mine 5 years ago and since then prices are quite similar for used R1MX and components...great camera indeed.

3:32 you can actually get away with using a easyrig or ready rig with the Red One

Why not get the Scarlett x ? They have the exact same sensor but in a lighter frame ..

Hey after recording on the red drives how to you put the footage on the computer... is there a special cord I need to connect the red drive to
You need a mini-usb to usb cable and a power cable. You can probably find the one you need at your local thrift shop. Just make sure the output is within the Red Drive specs.
Thank you!
Welcome!
what about the red camera which has 1400 hours?Please reply
1400 hours should be fine. Mine had around 2000 hours when I got it, has way more now.
Can you do more videos on Red please
Good stuff
Thank you!
Whats your color grade work flow for the MX?
Usually I'll cut everything in premiere and then export that as a LOG DPX sequence to color grade in resolve. The downside is that the file sizes are huge!
This was the camera they shot James Cameron's _Avatar_ with, right?
Hi thank you for reviewing this camera, guess older sensors are more filmic. btw what's the name of the music @4:50?
thank you for this video,
Aaron
Absolutely! Glad you liked it!
Was it used one or new
what lens were you using?
I used the Rokinin Cine DS 35mm and 24mm
Aaron and Kat T2.9?
I never knew people bought RED cameras until now. Thought they just rented them.
That’s fucked up that Red doesn’t support it anymore..
I’m clicking away fr because you were excited about a Nikon mount mount and had Nikon lenses…
I checked to see if that was Fiona Apple's couch. It isn't.
Pesante??? Ahahahahahhahaahhah ti farei sollevare la mia 35mm Arri BL Evolution... 40 kg, poi ne riparliamo caro.
I have the opportunity to trade my BMPCC4K rig for a R1MX rig. Should I do it?
stop lying!!
@@gunnarsandberg8132 I’m not sure I understand your comment.
YES DO IT NOW!
I hope you did it! Image quality > convenience.
@@outspokentimes320 I ended up trading the Blackmagic rig for a Canon C200, and then I switched over to the Sony A7SIII and couldn’t be happier.
