The line-skipping or binning issue is not simply a question of will or understanding - it’s an actual limitation of how fast data can be streamed off the back of the sensor itself. I’ve been a part of this complaining, but I don’t share the opinion of some that the challenge is easy, if only Canon or Nikon or whomever cared to rise to it. Won’t someone come along and make a camera with a huge sensor, interchangeable lenses, and proper video features? We’ve been having a lot of fun shooting with DSLRs, complaining the entire time about all the obstacles they present. You can buy a fancy slider (I did, I love my Glidetrack HD), or you can feel so much more clever and agile turning any tripod into a jib arm. you can give us feedback – we really appreciate people who take the time to offer us suggestions, improvements, congratulations, feedback, etc.It’s kinda fun doing things the wrong way. We have already announced our microRemote wireless remote follow focus, which is being worked on as we speak.ġ0.Where can someone give feedback to Red Rock Micro?Īnywhere you see us – online, at shows, in forums, etc. Anytime you see a ridiculous price tag for a piece of production gear that seems like it should be a lot less, chances are we have seen it and are working on something. There are still so many cinema accessories that cost too much, and the options are really limited. The CF rods (and the new offset) are available as upgrades and can be purchased separately.ĩ.Where is Red Rock Micro going in the future? **Brian responded to this question previously.Ĭarbon fiber is 66% lighter than stainless steel. I got to use the new carbon fiber rod system, how much lighter is it? We have extremely low overhead, so we don’t need to make a lot of profit, and we like to say we keep the money in our customers pocket.Ĩ. We feel very fortunate to be the very first to market with cinema rigs that address the physical shortcomings of HDSLR cameras to turn them into something really great to work with When we first saw the Nikon D90 (the first HDSLR product to come to market) we knew exactly what the potential could be, even though the execution is a first generation. We had a long history with our M2 cinema lens adapter, that allows digital video to achieve the shallow depth of field and 35mm lens interchangeability previously only available in motion picture film. You were able to capitalize on the ever growing HDSLR market, how did you know? The next comparable product is close to $5,000 for a similarly configured product.Ħ. We produce a mattebox that has no equivalent in the marketplace at the price point we offer it – around $700 for a complete solution. The microMatteBox is another great example. We proved we could do it, and we got many customers and won several awards as a result. The next closest solution was well over $10,000. For example when we were developing our M2 cinema lens adapter through public forums, many people said it couldn’t be done for our target price of around $1,000. If that’s what you want, then we are the best there is for that. This boils down to our mission – create great quality cinema accessories that normal human beings can afford to own. We can say we have many thousands of customers worldwide. ![]() In general, we do our machining in house, each product goes through a finishing process such as deburring, polishing, applying textures and anodizing, and then a rigorous quality control process. There isn’t a simple answer for that! We have many steps in our manufacturing processes, and it varies depending on the product we are creating. Into that mix we add our own take on what’s needed, and of course include low price as one of our main product design criterias. We spend a lot of time talking to customers, getting customer feedback, and talking to industry professionals. We do all our designs in house in our facilities in Texas. How does RedRock Micro come up with it’s designs? As a result our mission has been to create quality cinema accessories that are affordable for normal human beings to own.Ģ. We felt there must be a better solution for people who don’t want to compromise on quality but can’t afford to spend more on accessories than they did on their camera. We were a group of avid indie filmmakers disappointed by the cost of quality production equipment, and appalled at the quality of low cost equipment. keyboard_arrow_rightCameras of the Yearġ0 Questions with Red Rock Micro’s Brian Valente.keyboard_arrow_rightGear Guides by Budget.keyboard_arrow_rightGear Guides by Type.
