The result is cinema image quality that breathes life into your footage. Showcase the depths of shadows as well as highlight roll-off to capture otherwise imperceptible details.

WEAPON delivers stunning resolution and image quality—creating clean and organic images that bring your footage to life. RED has taken the next step in exceeding the flexibility and beauty offered by film - up to 17x more resolution than HD—and over 4x more than 4K. The DSMC2 form factor is RED's smallest and lightest BRAIN® ever. With features like cable-free peripherals, integrated media bay, wireless control, and more—WEAPON is the most powerful and intuitive camera to date. It is also compatible with a growing arsenal of modules and accessories—from RED and other third party manufacturers. Tack on interchangeable OLPFs and lens mounts and WEAPON gives you the ultimate control over your footage. Shooting RAW has never been this easy. RED's proprietary REDCODE RAW file format, also referred to simply as R3D, gives you maximum flexibility during post.
