RED Digital Cinema V-RAPTOR [X] Z Mount 8K VV Camera Production Pack V-Lock

The RED Digital Cinema V-RAPTOR X Z Mount 8K VV combines large format 8K acquisition, global shutter capture, high frame rate recording, and native Nikon Z lens support in a compact DSMC3 cinema camera platform. Its 35.4 MP global shutter CMOS sensor captures 8192 x 4320 pixels across a 40.96 mm x 21.60 mm imaging area and delivers 17 plus stops of base dynamic range. By exposing the complete frame simultaneously, the global shutter helps maintain image geometry during fast subject movement and rapid camera motion while preserving the resolution needed for reframing, stabilization, visual effects, and high resolution finishing.

8K REDCODE RAW and High Frame Rate Capture

V-RAPTOR X records REDCODE RAW at up to 120 fps in 8K 17:9 and up to 150 fps in 8K 2.4:1. Lower resolution formats extend capture to 240 fps at 4K 17:9, 320 fps at 3K 17:9, and 600 fps at 2K 2.4:1. REDCODE compression options allow recording requirements to be balanced against resolution, frame rate, and media capacity, while qualified CFexpress Type B media supports data rates up to 800 MB/s. Apple ProRes recording is also available at resolutions up to 4096 x 2160.

Native Nikon Z Mount Control

The locking Nikon Z mount provides electronic communication with compatible Z lenses and supports camera controlled iris, autofocus, image stabilization, control ring functions, and assignable lens buttons. The shallow flange depth also allows additional lens systems to be used through compatible adapters, giving productions access to a broad range of modern and cinema lens options.

Global Vision and Connected Production

RED Global Vision adds Extended Highlights for scenes requiring additional highlight information and Phantom Track for specialized virtual production workflows. RED IPP2 supports 33 x 33 x 33 3D LUTs and CDL workflows for controlled color management from set through finishing. Dual 12G SDI outputs, tri level genlock, LTC timecode, USB C, dual band Wi-Fi, and compatible Ethernet connectivity support monitoring, synchronization, remote control, live preview, media offload, and Camera to Cloud workflows.

V-Lock Production Pack Configuration

The aluminum alloy body measures 5.9 x 4.5 x 4.3 inches and weighs approximately 4.03 lb without the body cap and CFexpress card. The camera includes an integrated V-Lock interface optimized for Micro V-Lock batteries, while the Production Pack expands the platform with production oriented rigging and power support. A compatible V-Lock battery adapter allows larger V-Lock batteries to be integrated into the build while adding accessory mounting and power options for crew operated narrative, commercial, studio, and virtual production configurations.
