V-RAPTOR® 8K S35 is another addition into the RED® DSMC3™ generation of cameras. Building on the same architecture of the V-RAPTOR™ 8K VV, the V-RAPTOR 8K S35 offers a new shooting format while leveraging the improvements in color science and performance of its larger 8K VV predecessor.

Featuring an 8K sensor optimized for Super35mm lenses, V-RAPTOR 8K S35 offers filmmakers a unique benefit of using the versatile range of Super35mm lenses while still capturing in the smooth true-to-life detail that 8K resolution provides. Create stunning slow-motion imagery at 120 fps using the full 8K Super35mm field of view, or up to 600 fps at 2K. With over 16.5 stops of dynamic range, V-RAPTOR 8K S35 is ready to capture stunning imagery in all types of environments. V-RAPTOR™ 8K S35 will also continue to feature RED’s proprietary REDCODE® RAW codec, allowing users to capture 16-bit RAW, and leverage RED’s latest IPP2 workflow and color management.

The 8K S35 sensor sits inside the same camera body as V-RAPTOR 8K VV, offering the same horsepower and flexibility filmmakers have come to rely on. The V-RAPTOR features a modernized platform in an amazingly compact package weighing in at barely over 4 lbs. With two 4K 12G-SDI outputs, XLR audio and phantom power via breakout adapter, and 1080p livestream, this system can handle most anything a shooter can throw at it.

Additionally, the V-RAPTOR/V-RAPTOR® XL and the DSMC3 platform features advanced connectivity solutions which enable applications such as RED Connect for 8K R3D cinematic live streaming and remote record, remote control and monitoring, in-camera Frame.io integration, AWS direct upload, and more.
