RED Digital Cinema 710-0409 V-RAPTOR [X] 8K VV Starter Pack with Rigid Hinge Touch 7.0 & 2 x Batteries
RED DIGITAL CINEMA V-RAPTOR [X] 8K VV Camera
The V-RAPTOR [X] 8K VV Camera combines the proven design of RED’s V-RAPTOR line with the advanced global shutter technology from the KOMODO. As RED’s newest DSMC3 flagship, it introduces the industry’s first large-format global shutter camera and brings the new Global Vision toolkit, offering exceptional dynamic range and creative flexibility. With 8K capture, excellent low-light capabilities, and high-speed frame rates in a lightweight 4 lb body, the V-RAPTOR [X] is a versatile, all-in-one solution for modern productions.
New Large-Format Standard
This camera sets a new benchmark as the first of its kind to deliver both a large-format global shutter and RED Global Vision tools. It maintains many hallmark features of the V-RAPTOR line, including a locking Canon RF mount, a single CFexpress Type B slot supporting up to 8K120, and dual 12G-SDI outputs. Improvements include a redesigned sensor cavity for better contrast and reduced stray light, as well as upgraded audio preamps.
Advanced, Intelligent Focus
Enhanced on-sensor phase detection combined with new face detection technology ensures reliable, automatic focusing for filmmakers at any skill level.
Global Shutter
The global shutter captures fast-moving action without distortion, eliminating rolling shutter artifacts such as skew or “jello” effects. Every flash, motion, and burst is reproduced cleanly with full fidelity and range.
RED Global Vision
The Global Vision suite takes advantage of the global shutter sensor to streamline workflow and improve creative control. Features like Extended Highlights provide up to three additional stops of range, preserving detail and color in bright highlights and enabling more refined HDR and SDR imagery.
Dynamic Range
Delivering over 17 stops of dynamic range in standard modes and up to 20+ stops with Extended Highlights, the V-RAPTOR [X] balances clean highlight roll-off with superior low-light performance.
Phantom Track
Phantom Track simplifies virtual production by recording unique R3D clips for each subframe slice using GhostFrame or frame remapping. It allows directors and performers to interact with green screen elements while VFX teams view clean frames simultaneously, or it can be used for dynamic ad overlays during live broadcasts.
High-Speed Recording
Creators can take advantage of frame rate options up to 8K120, 6K, 4K, and 2K for effects such as time-lapse, speed ramping, or extracting detailed stills.
Built-In Control Display
The integrated side display provides easy access to menu navigation, format settings, and customizable control buttons, streamlining on-set operation.
Virtual Production & Connectivity
Built on the DSMC3 platform, the V-RAPTOR [X] offers robust connectivity for remote workflows. It supports Frame.io integration, direct AWS uploads, and RED Connect for transmitting live 8K R3D video over IP or live 4K via SMPTE ST 2110. These capabilities make it an ideal tool for virtual production environments.
Live Streaming & Remote Control
With RED CONNECT and a fiber link, the camera can stream full-resolution 8K footage over IP networks. The RED Control Pro app (iOS/Android) expands wireless monitoring and control functionality.
All-New Audio Architecture
Improved audio components provide higher-quality sound when connecting external microphones, delivering cleaner and more reliable recording.
Durable Design
Built with water- and dust-resistant elements, the camera is engineered to withstand challenging environments while remaining lightweight and portable. It is not waterproof, so it should still be handled with care.
