Just the basics

Sorry to ask the dumbest question ever asked on this message board but I didn't find this info for myself.

Will I be able to mount the scarlet onto a standard tripod directly or willl I have to buy the rails to do so?

The Scarlet will not have a tripod mount, it will use the new RedFloat(tm) technology that will respond directly to your your dna programmed telepathic link.

It will steady your hand automatically... and your body, a paralysis maker

Loo, don't mind these guys. Yes, Scarlet will have a standard socket. There is a 99.9% chance it will be 1/4" and fit on any tripod. There is a 0.1% chance it will be 3/8", but in this case it will still mount on any decent video head.

Well, Loo, smartassery aside, we genuinely do not know. I would honestly be shocked if you couldn't use some form of tripod right out of the box, though.

Sorry Loo, I wanted to say what the guys above said but I just couldn't do it, I was fighting it all the way but that inner smartass won in the end.

It will most likely be a standard 1/4", if not a small cheap adapter or plate can be fitted from $4-16.

No offense, but that's like asking if it will have manual focus or not...

My thoughts are that it's better to use some kind of quick-release adapter, anyway.

More important to think about than the threading size of the screw: will your tripod support the WEIGHT of the camera?

Lee Wilson · 11-11-2008, 04:03 PM

I think the camera will not have a standard tripod mount out of the box - like much of the modular design see with the R1, the hole will probably come separately.

My guess is that you will be able to purchase spare holes from RED to place on the camera body.
