My M-X Red camera package is available for rent in the LA area. It can be rented by itself, no person is required to go with it.

Upgraded to the new Mysterium-X sensor!

Red is new all over again! New sensor = new camera.  The M-X sensor is the same sensor that will be in the Epic cameras that come out later this year.  It’s reported to have 13+ stops of dynamic range.  With the new sensor, 800 ISO is equivalent to what 320 ISO is with the current sensor. Check out this shot with Leonardo DiCaprio that was taken at 2000 ISO and see how clean the image is. The Red One with the new sensor will be able to go up to 6400 ISO.

Don’t rent an “old” Red (sounds weird saying that) and no need anymore to use a Canon 5D & 7D digital SLR camera if you need great low light capability.

I’m not a facility so I don’t have every item you’re going to want to rent for your production.  But for a complete Red Mysterium-X camera package, my rates are hundreds of dollars less than what the rental houses charge.
