Bash Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 I met this camera yesterday at a show in the UK. It has two rather worrying looking fans on the RHS (as you look through the viewfinder). They did not seem too loud (in a very high ambient room), and the fans made mostly 'air moving noise', rather than whining motor noise. They sounded to me closer to the fan from an Arri, as opposed to the fans from a Red. TC menus looked sensible, but I was rushing - out of time I am afraid. Audio in on a 5 pin at the front, and 2 x 3 pin XLRs at the back. Kindest, sb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on your accessories. But I'm happy there is another 4k option out there that can compete with the Epic Dragon. Pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bash Posted November 9, 2014 Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 How do you make the fans on a Red Epic be as quiet as those on an Alexa. That is not my experience!! sb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincent R. Posted November 9, 2014 Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 How do you make the fans on a Red Epic be as quiet as those on an Alexa. That is not my experience!! sb Sonosax made a module for that, I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
