We have seen some mind-blowing footage from RED’s EPIC , as one might expect from a $39,500 camera with a 5K sensor and as much as 120 fps video capture (at 4K). But video shooter and all-around photo wiz Vincent Laforet got to take an exclusive early take a look at the company’s new Canon EOS mount, which pairs the EPIC-M with Canon’s enormous choice of top-quality glass, including the 600mm f/4 L lens Laforet used for his shoot at Mono Lake in California. That lens, used with a 2x Canon teleconverter and the RED’s multiplication factor, yields a 35mm-equivalent focal length of 3400mm, which as you will see within the video below, enabled some pretty incredible video captures . RED has yet to officially announce availability for the Canon EOS mount, but has shared that it’ll cost $2,000 (pennies in comparison with the EPIC’s $58,000 kit price), and may be constructed of titanium — tasked with the critical responsibility of reducing movement during those extended-lens shoots. Jump past the break for Laforet’s sample video, or inspect his blog post on the source link for the whole rundown.
