Including nearly everything you need to grab your camera and shoot, the DSMC2 GEMINI Camera Kit includes the camera body, lens mount, touchscreen LCD, batteries, and media; you need only supply your own Canon EF Mount lens. The GEMINI camera BRAIN features a 5K, Super35mm-sized, dual native ISO sensor that enables you to shoot in conditions ranging from bright daylight to extremely dim without your images suffering from excessive noise.
The included V-lock I/O expander module mounts on the camera BRAIN, providing a way to attach power as well as input and output ports. The touchscreen LCD is needed for camera setup and control, as well as allowing you to see what the camera is shooting. The included IDX DUO-C98 batteries power the GEMINI BRAIN via the V-lock expander module and communicate the battery info to the camera. Once you've set up the camera you can record to the 960GB RED MINI-MAG, supporting recording speeds up to 300 MB/s, and use the included reader to transfer your footage to your computer or download station. The Outrigger Handle provides a support hold for the system. The included case holds all the kit's gear secure during transport and storage.
Bundling high-performance raw video recording in a compact camera body, the RED DIGITAL CINEMA DSMC2 BRAIN with GEMINI 5K S35 Sensor is part of the 2018 unified DSMC2 lineup and is designed to be built up the way you want, to tell your story in almost any way possible. Since the DSMC2 form factor is standard, accessories from RED and other manufacturers can be easily attached to accessorize your camera. Even though the GEMINI sensor has fewer photosites than its HELIUM and MONSTRO brethren, it has a cool trick up its sleeve. Using advanced circuitry designed for the aerospace industry, the GEMINI can switch native sensitivities. Practically speaking, it can operate in both normal and dimly lit scenarios without prematurely blown highlights or excessive noise, respectively. Nearly limitless lens options are available for the DSMC2 system. While this camera requires a separately available lens mount, DSMC lens mounts themselves are offered in different varieties for compatibility with a wide array of lens systems.
REDCODE RAW is the format of choice for DSMC2 cameras. RED's versatile raw codec uses wavelet compression to reduce data rates while maintaining a visually lossless image rendering. This efficient codec can be edited on many available NLE software programs without transcoding, though if you prefer a proxy workflow, ProRes or DNx files can be recorded simultaneously to the MINI-MAG media. Lowering the recording resolution allows the sensor to capture higher frame rates for dramatic slow-motion footage. The DSMC2 cameras use sensor windowing to record slow motion in lower resolutions, requiring wider or smaller-format lenses to compensate for the additional crop. Recording rates range from 12 fps and up, including 24/25/30/48/50/60 fps and higher.
Note: Not all compression ratios are available at all resolutions and frame rates

This aluminum RED Digital Cinema DSMC Canon Mount attaches to your DSMC or DSMC2 camera brain providing an EF/EF-S compatible lens port for your camera. Dual locking rings secure your lens in the mount, minimizing play. The mount features captive screws, so you don't have to worry about accidentally dropping a screw into the sensor cavity.
The mount supports electronic communication between the lens and the camera, although not all functions may be supported. RED DSMC mounts are designed to be swapped without requiring a back-focus adjustment.
More than just a way to power your camera, the RED DSMC2 V-LOCK I/O Expander provides a variety of input/output connections in addition to a V-Lock mount for your DSMC2 camera. The Expander is made from magnesium, so it is lightweight yet strong. It enables powering your camera from a V-Mount battery or by an alternate DC source via cable, and you can set it to automatically boot your camera up once power is connected. It provides both 3G-SDI and HDMI outputs, as well as control and sync outputs.
Built-in USB and auxiliary power outputs enable powering accessories and limiting the number of power splitter and converter boxes hanging from your camera. Audio is not forgotten by RED, and the Expander features both an analog stereo input and a stereo headphone jack. It is compatible with the WEAPON 8K S35, WEAPON 6K, as well as the EPIC/SCARLET-W, and the RAVEN.
Designed for cable-free mounting to select DSMC2 RED cameras, the RED DIGITAL CINEMA Touch 7.0" LCD (Aluminum) features 1920 x 1136 resolution. The design of the LCD provides good off-axis viewing up to 170°, with 85° left, right, up, or down so you don't have to be directly aligned with the viewfinder to see an optimal image. The LCD features multi-touch control, with hard navigation buttons on the side.
With a brightness level of 350 cd/m² and contrast ration of 1000:1 providing a clear image, the RED Touch LCD mounts directly to your camera without any cables needed between the LCD and your camera. It can mount directly onto DSMC2 cameras including the WEAPON 8K S35, WEAPON 6K, EPIC/SCARLET-W, EPIC/SCARLET M-X, EPIC/SCARLET DRAGON, and the RED RAVEN. A built-in mirror and image flip allow for monitoring while upside down for special applications.
The IDX DUO-C98 96Wh High-Load Battery with D-Tap Advanced, Standard D-Tap & USB Port features a V-mount and is only 2.3" thick, but packs 96Wh of capacity to power your professional devices. It is well suited for handheld gimbal and aerial applications, as well as run-and-gun productions where size and weight can become an issue. Battery data information displays in most camera's viewfinders.
The DUO-C98 can handle a combined load of up to 10A among its V-mount, D-Tap outputs, and USB port. One of the D-Taps can also be used to charge the battery, although that requires an optional charger that is not included. Designed with battery circuit protection against overcharge, over-discharge, over-current, and exposure to high temperatures, providing protection to your battery from the rigors of production. A 5-LED battery life indicator on the side of the battery provides a quick visual indication of charge state of your battery.
- Suitable for handheld gimbal, aerial, run-and-gun, and other productions that need a high-power-draw battery in a small package
- The battery data displays in the viewfinder system of most cameras, and the addition of an SMBUS enables RED cameras to display this information as well
- Handles up to 10A loads
- Two unregulated D-tap accessory outputs at 50W each
- USB port
- Battery circuit protection
- 5-LED battery life indicator
- Fully compatible with all IDX Endura V-mount chargers
The VL-2X 2-Channel V-Mount Charger & Power Supply from IDX provides sequential charging for lithium-ion and NiCad batteries, automatically switching to the second battery after fully charging the first. It delivers up to 2.7A of quick-charge current without the noise of a typical charger thanks to a fanless design. It also features a 4-pin XLR power output that offers up to 36W of DC power when the charger is connected to a wall outlet and your batteries are removed. (The DC output is disabled when a battery is charging.)
This portable desktop charger is designed with reliable internal safety features that protect both the battery and charger from damage should faulty or misused batteries be placed on the charger. It will automatically stop charging if any attached battery reaches an overvoltage condition.
