Red V-Raptor [X] Z Mount Production Pack (V-Mount) (Apr '25)

Continuing to provide the latest digital cinema advances, the V-RAPTOR [X] 8K VV Camera pairs the strengths of the RED DIGITAL CINEMA V-RAPTOR line with the global shutter of the KOMODO camera and a native Nikon Z mount offering adjustable AF speeds, fluid iris control, and customizable lens responses.

The powerful, all-purpose V-RAPTOR [X] Z Mount incorporates 8K resolution, crisp global shutter, optimal low-light performance, and high frame rate functions in a compact, feature-rich body weighing just over 4 lb.

• The V-RAPTOR [X] Z Mount's reinforced, locking Nikon Z lens mount has advanced iris, autofocus, and lens response capabilities.
• It offers toolless switching to additional RED mounts and compatibility with third-party adapters for a wide range of lenses.
• Use the V-RAPTOR [X] Z Mount with the RED Z to PL adapter for compatibility with upcoming /i PL lenses.

This DSMC3 flagship camera is the first large-format global shutter camera and the first to offer RED's Global Vision with a suite of tools that provide unprecedented flexibility and dynamic range. Key features shared with the original V-RAPTOR include a locking Canon RF lens mount, a single CFexpress Type B card slot that supports up to 8K120 capture, and two unique 12G-SDI monitoring outputs. The V-RAPTOR [X] Z Mount also features a redesigned sensor cavity that mitigates stray light and improves contrast, plus improved in-camera audio preamps.

In-camera processing and on-sensor, enhanced phase-detection autofocus plus all-new face detection enables the V-RAPTOR [X] Z Mount to offer versatility and confidence to all levels of filmmakers.

This camera's large-format global shutter accurately captures your subject's motion, no matter how fast they're moving, with no distortion or Jello-like effects sometimes found with a rolling shutter. With the global shutter, you can capture every movement, flash, and burst without compromising image quality, dynamic range, or flexibility in post-production.

RED's Global Vision suite of tools uses the global shutter sensor to offer even greater flexibility and ease of use throughout your production process. These tools include Extended Highlights for increasing detail, producing finer HDR finishes or softer, more subtle highlight roll-offs when using SDR. Extended Highlights also offers 3+ stops of additional dynamic range, maintaining color and detail even within extreme highlights.

The 17+ stops of dynamic range in standard modes and up to 20+ with Extended Highlights enable the V-RAPTOR [X] Z Mount to deliver both smooth highlight roll-off and uncompromising low-light performance.

The Phantom Track function streamlines any virtual production workflow using GhostFrame or frame remapping, capturing distinct R3D clips for each subframe slice in addition to enabling monitoring of either slice live on set over each SDI output. This enables your director and talent to work with a green screen background while the VF/X team can simultaneously view the frame without having to view or lock in that background. Phantom Track can also be used when applying dedicated ad overlays during a live broadcast.

Unmatched frame-rate performance enables V-RAPTOR [X] Z Mount users to leverage creative elements like time-lapse or speed ramping or to extract ultrasharp still photos. Frame rate options include 8K, 6K, 4K, and 2K selections.

The integrated side display provides intuitive, easily navigable, comprehensive control, including in-camera format selections, customized buttons, and more.

The V-RAPTOR [X] Z Mount uses a DSMC3 platform to offer advanced connectivity solutions like remote control, remote monitoring, in-camera Frame.io integrations, AWS (Amazon Web Services) direct upload, the RED Connect module for live 8K R3D video over IP or live 4K via SMPTE ST 2110, and more. These enhanced features put the V-RAPTOR [X] Z Mount at the forefront of technology used for virtual production.

Connect the V-RAPTOR [X] Z Mount using fiber cable and the RED CONNECT module to live stream 8K full-resolution, cinematic video over an IP network. Use the RED Control Pro iOS/Android app and the all-new RED CONNECT technology to unlock the V-RAPTOR [X] Z Mount's capabilities.

Newly engineered audio hardware provides cleaner, clearer audio when using external microphones with the V-RAPTOR [X] Z Mount.

Designed with water and dust-resistant materials in critical areas of its body, the V-RAPTOR [X] Z Mount is suitable for a wide variety of environments. However, it is not waterproof and should be handled like other high-end electronics.
