David Brodosi - The Red Epic Dragon is a compact design, and the actual camera is a small box weighing only 5 pounds. That’s significantly smaller than competitive cameras such as the Arri Alexa classic weighing nearly twice as much at 14 pounds and even the Amira at 9 pounds. Saving weight and not sacrificing image quality is crucial on an adventure shoot.
David Brodosi spent four full 10-hour days walking upstream through the Argentinian jungle trudging nothing short of five kilometers per day to find a waterfall. When you need to be on your feet and moving all day, keeping the size and weight of your camera package down is absolutely crucial.

A huge ergonomic advantage the Red has over other cinema cameras is the customizability of the body. In other words, you can introduce as much or as little added weight and/or accessories as you desire. Each time this camera is built, it is unique to the project and circumstances. The user has the ability to decide which type of batteries are used, if they want a side handle, which monitors are added, etc. The possible configurations are nearly endless.

Red goes further with an interchangeable mount system. For this trip we chose to stay light by using Canon EF mount lenses. The Red enables you to change between PL, Canon, Nikon, and even Leica M mounts. Interchangeable mounts opens up a plethora of lens options and ensures you can use your existing glass with the camera.
