Apple tried and failed to break RED’s stranglehold on RAW video

[ad_1] RED President Jarred Land said that “we are pleased to see our RedCode patents withstand another challenge,” adding that RED is still working with Apple to get RedCode on its Metal framework. “It has always been Apple + RED, and this was all part of the process defining how we work together in the […]

DJI Mavic Mini review: A tiny drone with big ambitions

[ad_1] The Mavic Mini is so small and light (just 249g) you won’t need to register it with the FAA — you were registering your larger drones with the FAA, right? But that size isn’t just about doing less paperwork, it’s about doing more flying. With a drone you can literally slip in your back […]

RED founder retires, and the Hydrogen phone project is over

[ad_1] At the age of 70, RED founder Jim Jannard has announced he’s retiring, saying that between his age and a few health issues “it is now time.” As he steps away from the company, he also announced its Hydrogen phone project will end after producing just one device.

Panasonic’s S1H is the first mirrorless camera approved by Netflix

[ad_1] According to Netflix’s production guide for the S1H, you have to shoot in at least 4K using the V-Log color space with 4:2:2 10-bit All-I (400 Mbps) encoding. Crucially, Netflix requires a pixel-for-pixel sensor readout with no line-skipping. The S1H can handle that either by cropping to a Super 35 portion of the sensor […]

Nissan’s bold Ariya EV concept may soon go into production

[ad_1] Much like the IMk “Kei” car, the Ariya has an illuminated “shield” (not a grill) that’s equipped with radar and other ProPilot 2.0 sensors. That new driver assistance system will even allow for “hands-off” driving in certain situations, Nissan said. Under the hood (and trunk) there are dual electric front and rear motors with […]

Fujifilm’s X-Pro3 can focus in almost complete darkness

[ad_1] If that’s not weird enough for you, another selling point is the upgraded optical/electronic hybrid display. In rangefinder mode, you’re looking through an optical, rather than an electronic display. Because it’s offset from the lens, your subject will always appear at the wrong size and angle. Once you get used to it though (and […]

Canon’s cute-but-tough Ivy Rec camera hits stores later this month

[ad_1] What’s more, the included clip doubles as the Ivy Rec’s viewfinder — as in you look through it to frame your shots. Canon says this eliminates the possibility of a broken screen. After all, you can’t break your camera’s viewfinder if it doesn’t have one. Naturally, there’s an optional mobile app that allows you […]
