RED has expanded the V-RAPTOR [X] Upgrade program to include V-RAPTOR [X] Z Mount.
RED is also offering an upgrade for V-RAPTOR 8K VV and V-RAPTOR XL 8K VV cameras to the latest V-RAPTOR [X] 8K VV Global Shutter sensor.
The upgrade is more than a sensor upgrade as it includes supplemental board updates and modifications to support the more powerful V-RAPTOR [X] 8K VV Global Shutter sensor. Key advancements include: Extended Highlights Mode, Phantom Track for virtual production, an all-new audio architecture, and more. See RED.com/V-RAPTOR for more details. During the upgrade, the exterior panels and RF Lock Ring (if applicable) will be updated to match the new V-RAPTOR [X] design.
