We knew something called “Weapon” would be debuted from RED at this year’s NAB convention, but we didn’t know exactly what it would be. Now that the sun is setting on NAB Day 1, there are quite a few more exciting details about the WEAPON to consider.
RED WEAPON is a full-frame 8192 x 4320 (8K) sensor. If you have an existing RED that you want to upgrade, you might consider signing up now, as there’s a $10,000 difference in price before – and after – the conversion.
How much does the RED WEAPON cost? At the time of writing, you would need to buy the 6K WEAPON Brain for $49,500, then pay an additional $10,000 for the 8K upgrade (when available), making the sum total $59,500. Of course, that’s just for the bare camera; you’ll also need tens of thousands of dollars in gear to get shooting.
