V-RAPTOR® 8K VV is the first entrant into the latest DSMC3 camera lineup. Featuring a groundbreaking multi-format 8K sensor- with the ability to shoot 8K Large Format or 6K S35, it unlocks the largest lens selection of any comparable camera on the market and allows shooters the ability to always deliver at over 4K. The sensor also boasts the highest recorded dynamic range of any RED camera and the fastest ever cinema quality rolling shutter. With a dynamic range of over 17 stops and featuring scan times 2x faster than any previous RED camera, allowing users to capture up to 600 fps at 2K. V-RAPTOR also continues to feature RED’s proprietary REDCODE® RAW codec, allowing users to capture 16-bit RAW, and leverage RED’s latest IPP2 workflow and color management.


Along with an impressive sensor, the VRAPTOR features a modernized platform with upgraded thermal management in an amazingly compact package, weighing in at barely over 4 lbs. With two 4K 12G-SDI outputs, XLR audio and phantom power via adapter, and 1080p livestream, this system can handle most anything a shooter can throw at it.


Additionally, the V-RAPTOR/V-RAPTOR® XL and the DSMC3 platform features advanced connectivity solutions which enable applications such as RED Connect for 8K R3D cinematic live streaming and remote record, remote control and monitoring, in-camera Frame.io integration, AWS direct upload, and more.
