Leveraging the award-winning RED DRAGON ®sensor, WEAPON ®6K Magnesium is engineered from the ground up to deliver cutting-edge performance in the most intuitive camera experience possible. The WEAPON 6K
Magnesium boasts an arsenal of features that include fast data transfer rates up to 225 MB/s, and the freedom to simultaneously record in REDCODE ®RAW and Apple ProRes or Avid DNxHR/HD file formats.
Capture motion and stills in 6K 2.4:1 at up to 100 frames per second (fps), or 6K Full Frame at 75 fps, with the cutting-edge RED DRAGON® sensor—optimized for WEAPON®. Manufactured with lightweight and element-resistant magnesium—the WEAPON Magnesium delivers a new level of intuitive control and ergonomic design. RED engineers packed the best aspects from EPIC and SCARLET®—along with numerous performance enhancements such as on-board Apple ProRes recording and limited 3D LUT support—into a smaller BRAIN®, completely redesigned for modular performance.
Just one of the major improvements with WEAPON is the integration of the DSMC2 intelligent OLPF system, making it easier than ever to optimize your footage for your shooting environment—by quickly swapping out your optical low pass filter."
