- The new 35.4MP full-frame sensor at the heart of the V-RAPTOR provides 17+ stops of dynamic range that enable it to excel at low-light capture while offering the lowest noise floor of the RED lineup.
- This versatile sensor offers both 8K VV + 6K35 capture options.
- While the V-RAPTOR does not employ a global shutter, its rolling shutter with high-speed readout is almost twice as fast as that of the MONSTRO, all but eliminating motion artifacts.
- This sensor also enables phase-detection autofocus (PDAF), a boon for single operators grabbing fast-paced or unpredictable action. To accompany the new sensor, a new fixed OLPF (optical low-pass filter) enables you to capture RED's signature color quality and sensitivity.
- Reduced boot time and power consumption.
- Added support for Broadcast R3D, Phantom Track, and discrete Phantom Track control in RED Connect.
- Added a new sensor sync-shift interface.
- Added support for timecode-triggered recording and an external tally recording system.
- Added test patterns to the R3D project format, user buttons, video overlays, and ND iris tracking.
- Added Angelbird media updater (RD4.30) and Angelbird V4 updater (RD5.04).
- Added SDI Signal Range control in Broadcast R3D Playback, added SmallHD RED Touch OS 6.1.2.
- Added Exascend Essential Pro Max 1TB/2TB and Nextorage B2 Pro+ 660GB/1330GB support.
- Fixed inconsistent max broadcast gain and 2nd zebra with SDI 2.
- Changed serial protocol "Network (PPP)" to "Network RCP2 (PPP)".
- Improved GigE and REDConnect network and XL network stability.
- Improved broadcast lens communication and sensor sync-adjustment timing.
- Improved continuously variable ND live preview, high ISO ProRes recordings, and live preview.
- Improved broadcast R3D detail parameter, peaking performance, and network stability.
- Firmware v.2.2.4 introduces multiple updates including:
- Reduced boot time and power consumption.
- Added support for Broadcast R3D, Phantom Track, and discrete Phantom Track control in RED Connect.
- Added a new sensor sync-shift interface.
- Added support for timecode-triggered recording and an external tally recording system.
- Added test patterns to the R3D project format, added user buttons video overlays and ND iris tracking.

- Improved broadcast lens communication and sensor sync-adjustment timing.
- Improved continuously variable ND live preview, high ISO ProRes recordings, and live preview.
- Improved broadcast R3D detail parameter, peaking performance, and network stability.
- In response to user feedback, RED has added a right-side user interface that brings control to 1st and 2nd ACs positioned at that side of the camera.
- Physical buttons eliminate accidental selections that can occur with touchscreens, and the ability to save user pages lets you customize the interface to your liking.
- The interface also helpfully only displays the resolutions and frame rates available with your chosen format.
- When slow-motion is your thing, the V-RAPTOR delivers with high-speed frame rate options, including 8K 17:9 at 120 fps, 6K S35 at 198 fps, 4K 17:9 at 240 fps, and 2K 2.4:1 up to a blazing 600 fps.
- REDCODE Raw options have been simplified with HQ, MQ, and LQ selections equaling the more popular choices available in RED DSMC2 cameras. Because the 8K sensor captures such massive detail, RED recommends trying MQ or even LQ for most uses, with HQ being ideal for F/X work. Data rates range from 180 MB/s in LQ to 360 MB/s in HQ, so you can plan your media needs accordingly.

- Dual 12G-SDI ports enable you to output mirror feeds to two displays, or individual feeds with or without focus peaking, timecode, or other displays, or with two different looks.
- A USB-C port outputs up to 1080p wired preview video.
Add a direct-mount onboard monitor to your DSMC3 camera rig with this DSMC3 RED Touch 7.0" LCD Monitor from RED DIGITAL CINEMA. The RED Touch features daylight viewing, a wide 100% DCI-P3 color gamut, and touchscreen control for DSMC3 cameras, such as the V-RAPTOR 8K VV.

Mount the RED V-RAPTOR Expander Blade to your V-Raptor camera to gain video, power, and communication ports, enabling a wide choice in how you configure your camera for professional applications. The Expander Blade attaches to your camera via the camera's 9-pin EXT port and is supported by the included ARCA plate.
Once attached, the Expander plate provides a BNC connector (Genlock video), 5-pin connector for timecode, 4-pin connector for RED CTRL, and 3-pin Fischer for Run/Stop. Please note that the 3-pin Run/Stop is only for trigger, and it does not supply power.
Designed for V-RAPTOR camera users, the RED V-RAPTOR Quick Release Platform Pack is a sturdy yet compact QR plate release system for mounting and balancing your V-Raptor on a tripod. The platform, or baseplate, features 15mm LWS rod clamps and includes two 15mm rods, allowing you to use standard lens supports and accessories such as matte boxes, follow focus units, lens motors, and more with your V-RAPTOR. The platform slides onto the included dovetail plate and has a lever lock to clamp it in place once you have found the balance point you want.
The platform has a lever lock for clamping the included Arca plate in place, as well as a spring-loaded safety catch to help prevent the Arca plate from accidentally sliding off the platform. The dovetail plate has multiple 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threaded mounting holes along its length for attaching to a tripod, and the combination of the sliding platform, Arca plate, and dovetail with its multiple mounting holes allows you to balance a variety of shooting configurations. In addition to supporting your camera, the QR Platform Pack also supports optional battery adapter plates, the RED V-RAPTOR Expander Blade, and RED Side Ribs for added versatility.
Add two XLR inputs to your V-RAPTOR camera with the RED DSMC3 5-Pin to Dual XLR 3-Pin Adapter. Connect the included 5-pin ODU cable to your camera's ODU port, and the other end of the cable to the adapter's port. The adapter can provide 48V phantom power and supports both mic and line-level inputs. It mounts to the V-Raptor using a 3/8"-26 screw, and has anti-twist pins to prevent it from spinning on your camera. The unit also features 6 x M2.5 screw holes for future accessories.
Designed specifically for the RED V-RAPTOR, this Reversible Side Plate for RED V-RAPTOR from 8Sinn is a two-piece set of side plates that can be used on the left or right side of the camera.
