Excellent introduction to the Raven, full of useful tips, delivered so articulately without fuss, without any rambling! That's the way to do it, yet its so rare on UA-cam. Thank you for all that focused, useful information.
Thanks so much for your comments. My goal is to help people learn about cameras so they know what to buy/use or rent and how to use them, not be an influencer. Keep filming!
Yes, that was really useful!
Great review!
This is defiantly the BEST RED Raven review on UA-cam. Thank you very much for the video. Keep up your great content!
I second that .
Best review of the Red Raven I've ever seen. Thanks!
I don't know how many times I've watched the two Red Raven videos now, and I think I'll watch them both even more often. Thank you very much. These are very helpful videos!
I am currently learning the post production workflow and will always have questions, your videos have already helped me a lot.
This is hands down one of the best, if not the best review for this camera that I've seen thus far. I have a Scarlet-W coming in soon and this prepared me for having that camera more than anything else I've watched. Great work!
One of best camera reviews so far.
This is how it's done.
You got a new subscriber from Croatia!
Awesome! Thanks.
agree totally...:)
Agreed, this is super stoked! New sub from Bolivia !!
Great great video, its so so so nice to hear someone who has actually used the camera professionally, and not just bought because its a RED and its the new thing to do. There is so many people on youtube who just judge the camera with out using it or with out really explaining anything. informative, good pace, interesting and not too much too quick, not boring at all. perfect video. please keep doin your thang !!
This is by far one of the best reviews I've seen of this camera, of any camera. Thank you!!
Love this review. Thanks so much for touching on the audio features, it's something I'm definitely taking into consideration before purchasing this kit.
Very nice reviews. Watched them all the way through! Thank you for all your hard work in making these!
Great intro to Red Raven, thanks for putting this together!
Thanks! It's always a pleasure watching your reviews, they're so authentic. I rarely rely on reviews regarding buying decisions etc. but you somehow managed to make me thinking about and ultimately getting my lovely Milvus 1.4/50 after watching your Xeen/Milvus/Veydra comparison ;)
Awesome to hear, glad I could help. Milvus 50 is amazing.
Great review Kelly, thank you for explaining IPP2 so well. cheers Richard
Thanks for the thorough review. Because of this review I bought a used Raven for half the cost of a new one. It is an excellent camera with a beautiful image and does everything I will probably ever need a camera to do.
Yes!! The Raven is excellent. Great to hear.
Thanks so much for this video and part 1. You do such a great job of explaining the ins and out of not only the Raven, but the rest of the RED line, as well as explanations of RAW and HDR, it's been amazingly useful now I just have to find 15 grand haha.
Just bought one of these as a nice upgrade to my Epic MX. Can't wait for it to arrive.
Love the subtle voice over!
Great review - a brilliant guide - thank you! I have understood more from this video than any other about this camera. Succinct, to the point and very clear!
Thanks so much for this detailed review, the best I've found so far!!!
Awesome! Best review of this camera I have seen! This review answered all my question in detail!
Thanks so much. Glad it helped.
great video, very helpful and i like the sound of your voice its very soothing
Thank you for your review. Very thorough. I am Eyeing the Raven and your review will be very helpful when I make my decision.
What a great review. You explain stuff really well.
Oh yes, I subscribed very informative video, but more importantly you care. Thank you
Hey Kelly, great video, really informative.
I have to admit that the series you made about the “Zacuto EVF & SmallHD DP4-EVF” made me choose a couple of years ago for the Zacuto EVF and I was really happy with that. The only reason that I didn't subscribe to your channel at that point was because that serie was the only thing that I was interested in on your channel. I now subscribed and watch part 1 and part 2 of the Red Raven as well as the Lens Comparison video. I have to say that I also subscribed cause I hope you find the time to make more informative series, and those don't have to be about filmmaking products/reviews alone. I would be interested in stuff/problems that you come along on set in different situations and that you have to conquer.
Anyway , keep up the good work :)
Thanks for the feedback. I hope to do more lens comparisons coming up.
Great review, detailed and engaging!
That sounded more like a good documentary rather then a camera review. well done. one day gonna get mine rr))
Keep up the good work. Great camera review.
Thanks for the wonderful presentation. I was almost going to order Raven, but there is a report of a new model Komodo, which is 2 lb, and most affordable. So decided to wait till it comes out.
Greetings from India, what an amazing video, keep up the good work and all the best for your channel
I just searched for a review like this. Perect 👍🏼
Great review! Cheers from Alaska
I listened to 30 second of your channel and Subscribed !
Thank you. this was very helpful. Everything should be reviewed like this.
Nice! Makes me wanna get one more now! Thanks!
Nicely done. Subscribed for sure!
I have so much to learn >;-) Thank you for the effort you put into these videos
Was waiting for this.
Really nice series on the Raven! My next camera will probably be a RED :)
Great tutorial, never used a Red Camera before, but after watching I really want to now
Thank you! Great review.
Learned a lot. Thanks!
Thank you so much! This is super helpful!
Super nice video!!! I loved the review! You go over a lot of stuff that is not just Raven related and in depth. The IPP2 part is very great. Is there any way to implement HDRX into the IPP2? Just wondering! Thanks!
Excellent review. I love the thoroughness and attention paid to details. Would you be able to do a video on how you get work and find new clients?
Really enjoyed your review. Thank you.
great work, from one Raven owner to another!
Terrific review^^ looking forward to the other vids on your channel. You have likes and my sub!
Another great video!
great review!
Beautiful thanks. Love this.
thank you so much for this!
Wow HDRX is insane!
I'm not gonna lie and please don't take offense to this at all. I tried to watch these videos before I bought the Raven and I couldn't get passed your monotone voice. Now after buying it I had to watch it cause I wanted the information and I have to leave a comment to say how well done this was as far as explaining everything in depth to the best of your knowledge. I really learned a lot and look forward to more videos. You have a new Sub, also take this with a grain of salt: I work with a lot of entrepreneurs and business professionals training them to present better on camera or in person. You're very well articulated and you don't use Um, And, So etc as your pauses which is a fucking delight but the only tip I could offer would be, act like you're talking to a group of 4-year-olds. Enthusiasm is one of the easiest ways to grab someone's attention up front in the first 4 seconds. You have amazingly produced content that is very very informational and very helpful for a lot of people so I just thought "even though no one asked and maybe you couldn't possibly care less" that I might offer what I know works and let you run with it from there. I am Super Stoked I decided to watch this cause I feel more knowledgeable about my camera. Thanks for the time and effort you put into making these videos for all of us. I appreciate you.
I thought I sounded soothing, lol. Ok. I’ll try and be more enthusiastic.
No don't get me wrong, It soothes lol. Your Rental House Video, Perfect voice lol. I love it but the tutorials I wanna be hyped, Its gotta get the people going LOLZ.
Thanks for the feedback.
This is definitely one of the best and most thorough/useful reviews I have seen on UA-cam. Big fan. Did you see they are now selling this camera as a bundle at the Apple Store only?
Yes, RED stopped taking pre-sales and are now only selling through Apple. They cryptically said: sometimes you've got to give to get, so we'll see what they get out of it.
That is a great and helpfull review..
Well, Voice of Nice Lady Productions, it's official. You may be one of the best people in the universe.
Wow, thanks. :)
Thanks for the great review...I'm going to be in the market for the raven soon...Just wanted to get an indepth review as some made comments about low light etc...I really want the Scarlet w, but the price tag is a bit off putting.
Peter Sagnia did you get the Raven in the end?
Love your review, I really learnt stuff from this and you don't always do that from these youtube videos. Loved the soothing voice too! Im not sure I will afford this camera, but think I'm going to try to get something like this. But today I shoot videos with my Sony A9 mirrorless camera and well the autofocus is just out of this world, I get the feeling with these kind of cameras AF is kind of pointless
Glad could help! Keep filming.
Great video! Since you also do documentary with it light conditions change a lot. do you also use ND faders? and what are your thoughts about these faders?
What an amazing - cut through the BS - review. Thanks so much!
great info I wished I can get more!!
Whow love your in depht review of this dream camera for me 😀..
And also love your calming voice 😍😎... makes me lovely calm before i dream of s7ch a beast of a camera 🤣😉👌👌
Grtzz johny geerts
Got me subed for sure BTW 😉😊🤠
I would love to see you get more detailed.
With you wonderful voice it's a pleasure to watch the videos.
We bought the RED RAVEN package and It's the first RED we own.
I worked with RED from time to time but never got deeper into settings.
Pleaseee help out
Hi, RED has a lot of videos in their series about the settings of their cameras, check their UA-cam channel.
love your videos.
Thank you! I appreciate it.
Hi there! I love your videos. they are always so informative and super helpful. I'm upgrading to the scarlet-w but I can't use the current lens I have with it because it won't cover the sensor. Will the Sigma Art line cover the scarlet-w's sensor? I'm learning about sensor sizes in school, but, I'm still having trouble figuring it all out. LOL. This seems to be my main question all over youtube across different RED DSMC2 users. Have a good one!
I was wondering, does the camera charge the battery once it's plugged? or do you need to have a separate charger for the batteries?
amazing Nice Work
Any thoughts to a gimbal for the Red Raven also? The gimbals around 5-6k seem to be the only solution. Could the Ronin MX work?
Thank you!
Hi! From Mexico!
Do you still use the jvc gyls300 and is any footage from that camera in any of Your showreels?
Subscribed immediately. Amazing review . I still don't understand why the cinima cameras has there iso kept at 800 and why not 100 like still cameras.
Fantastic videos. Definitely sub'd!
This is the second time I´ve commented on one of your videos, the first was in your review of the SLR magic Anamorphic series. As others have said, your information is really helpful without a bunch of backward hat ¨wassup guys, it´s your boy chad¨type nonsense that gets between the details and us. I´m considering going for the 5K gemini, but I´m thinking I´d rather use the extra cash to get some impeccable glass. Presently using a Blackmagic Cinema 4K, but looking at Netflix new spec requirements I need to upgrade, plus as you said, that slow motion at full res is really attractive! In a weird way, it feels like I´m a few steps behind in my professional development, so it´s really handy to have your insights in an accessible manner. Thank you!
A wealth of knowledge... thank you... your F#%king AWESOME !!!!
What did you shoot this on? It was amazingly filmed.
Love the review! Was there a long wait or backorder when you ordered the camera?
I ordered the Raven the day after it was announced and I waited 9 months for it. The first copies were supposed to be released in March, I got mine in June of last year.
Thanks.
So funny you start off with hey boys and girls like a middle school teacher haha it's great 📓🤓🤣
super! gracias!! sabes si se puede comprar accesorios alternativos (menos costosos) ?
The SmallRig accessories are cheap compared to all others.
Great great review! I'm a little worried about lens use on the wide end, I'm sure the 18-35mm is a great companion with the Raven but is it wide enough? On the Red tools page the SIGMA correspons to a super 35mm lens, Is it a 3 perf or a 4 perf ?
Thanks for your comments. RED Raven at full 4.5K is similar to Super35 3-perf. As for a wide angle lens, I shoot with the Tokina 11-16 for a wide, which is plenty wide, however I don't find the lens to be very sharp. I'm waiting to try the Sigma 14mm or a Zeiss 12mm or something sharp and wide.
thanks for your reply! Form what I'm seeing on the Red crop factor simulator, the 15mm full frame lens is pretty close to the 18-35mm Sigma on the wide end. I was thinking the new Sigma 14mm too. As far I can see it wont be a huge difference. Anyhow the 14mm looks promising, my only concern is filtration....
Thanks for the detailed video! Great information. How much better do you think stepping up to this camera from a Sony a7s ii will be? I'm curious to know your thoughts about that.
I don't have enough experience using the A7s to say, but I can speak to mirrorless/small cameras in general. The RED RAVEN is in a totally other league, it's a system, it's easy to build up and strip down to a small package. The looks from the sensor is inherently filmic, unlike the A7s, it looks good right from the start. It's really about the types of things you shoot.
I see, thanks for your response!
A CPL Filter maybe would have helped to reduce the highlights from the foilage during HDR.
Hello! Do you have a rec709 setting or something turned on for monitoring? After looking all though my menu and the internet I found out there is no LUT monitoring compatibility for the Raven, and trying to monitor RAW footage is not very practical.
Hey, yes, you want to have the REC 709 output set to on so that it shows you what it looks like instead of RAW, it's still RAW recording unless it's ProRes, it's just that it's easier to view.
No longer available at B&H. Is there another place I could get this with the case? A link would be nice.
B&H Photo is selling the Dragon sensor camera, so basically like the RAVEN but upgraded for $10,000 off, which is an insane deal. bit.ly/3NBCgl7
can i use the usb port to pass the files to the computer
Does it record 1920X1080???? If yes then in which codec?????
Excellent Preso! Question? I'm setting up my Videography business to launch by the end of the year. My niche has been aerial Videos utilizing three different drones. I have done some real-estate work using my drones and a Cannon 70D. I still consider myself a novice shooting with DSLRs but I am learning quickly. Would it be a mistake to jump to a Red Raven now as I'm learning? I really want to invest in the best equipment I can afford and the Red seems like it would give me several years without the need to upgrade in a year or two. Your candid feedback would very much appreciated.
Hey, this is a difficult question to answer. The first thing to consider is whether you can afford it or can make the money back quickly after buying it. Most clients won't care what camera you film with, but they know quality and they will notice the camera when it shows up on set. There are a lot of high end commercial clients who want the quality the RED has to offer. When you buy a RED camera you are buying into a system: batteries, accessories etc, so it's a big investment besides the camera (a lot of the accessories like v mount batteries can be used on other cameras). So it's about budget, shooting style, requirements etc. Do you do two camera shoots (where a budget might be better spent on two smaller cameras), do you like the idea of shooting RAW? Can your computer handle 4K editing? I bought the camera because I want to make movies with it, which I have, but I've also been specifically hired on jobs because I have a RED. So there are many variables. If budget is a restriction, a Blackmagic Pocket Cinema 4K camera might do the trick. Good luck!
My RED has no focus. How do I make it sharper?
Nice lady productions!? Love the vid! What’s your education with cinematography and editing? How much were you self thought? You come off really knowledgeable!
I've been shooting video since I was a teenager: I learned to shoot and edit at the same time, I'm essentially self taught. I've used many camera systems over the years, been filming long before the DSLR revolution. I've read lots of books on the topic. I received a minor in Film Studies while at University, so I've studied film theory; I think about what's in the frame. I've done technical training at RED Studios and other filmmaking training events in the USA with many popular people you'd know. I shoot and edit video for a living. I take photographs and I'm constantly learning.
I wonder if they still sell the Red Raven. I looked at their site, I don't see it for sale
Classic Man Channel most of them at guys at drone nerds got 2 bodies from them
They've put a hold on orders until they are all caught up, the demand was so high.
Nice Lady Productions this know but drones are cert vendor and did most of east cost per orders lance at drone nerd also owner skymedia i deal with. so here last few folks you can get ravens from
I don't think anyone else even mentions the built in mics, or knows they are there lol
no focus assist on the raven??
Yes, there is focus assist. Make sure you have the latest upgrade. There's edge focusing and peaking and a third focus option, it makes it slightly sharper and that's the one I use, it's amazing. I use it on all RED cameras instead of peaking.
How much indian price
I dont think the continuous autofocus is usable.
when you finally made the review the camera is already discontinued
RED didn't discontinue the RED RAVEN. They've put a hold on anyone ordering one until they are caught up in September. The camera was so popular they couldn't make enough. Shops like Drone Nerds are still getting them in.
The RED RAVEN package is now being sold by Apple.com
yeah thanks... btw u didn't talk about the crop factor... I heard it has 2.8x crop!!! really? can't I get the full frame?
The crop factor at 4.5K full frame is 1.62. It's just shy of Super 35. Super 35 is the standard sensor size of film/cinema cameras. The DSLR introduced the Full Frame video sensor, but every film you see in a theatre was shot with a Super35 sensor, so crop factor is a photo thing.
you didn't talk about the battery life
Battery life on the RED RAVEN is dependent on the batteries you choose. A 98 kwh battery lasts about 1hr half. There's also a setting you can select that allows you to turn off the monitor when after 10 seconds or whatever, to maintain battery life. I suggest buyig batteries that are higher capacity than the 98 kwh if you don't have to fly.
