Brook Willard is a faithful REDuser contributor and like us here a FKB a Mac user. However we are all in agreement that Apple seems to have forgotten the Pro's in their "Pro" lineup.

 Brook wrote a great piece on The State of Apple's Professional Line. Check it out. 

Hey everyone,

 We are putting together our MUST SEE at NAB map together again. Basically, anything that we know of that is RED related will be outlined and plotted on an easy to use map. We are also going to try to find out who's going to be exhibiting at Red Day too.

 If you have a product that is going to be on the NAB floor make sure we know about it! Better yet, we are selling advertising space this year. E-mail us for more information.

Finner Reviews the rehoused 11-16mm lens from Duclos.

 This is a fantastic little lens for your kit. A sharp wide angle lens with very little distortion for it's range. Great for keeping a 'wide' for any 2K off speed work you are doing. It's light and it's under $3,500.00.

Jim Jannard- "The Gunner rig (NATO Standard) add thousands of new possibilities."

We aren't sure about this 'standard' for our beloved Red Camera's. The last thing I need is to travel on a US flight with gun parts in my camera bag. At leased Red has stopped calling their new EVF a 'Bomb.' At leased that is the word from Red Day. Is it now called the Red Sight? http://camerarentalz.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/built-up-scarlet.jpg

What is NATO and Picatinny? It's basically an international standard recognized by NATO. It's primarily used in military or law enforcement gear. Using Picatinny as a bracketed system will allow you to quickly attach mounting accessories to your EPIC or Scarlet. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Picatinny_rail

Looks like NATO gear is cheap! At leased from my limited searches on the internet. So the indie camp might find this desirable. A simple search on Amazon and the first page is of gear all under $20.00.

However, we here at Finner Knows Best know that good quality gear with a purpose is always up for a review. So anyone making NATO spec gear for EPIC please contact us.

 We are looking fwd to the Redmote Pro and seeing just how mainstream Red Ray will become.

So if you haven't heard the news, Red is going to be releasing Redcode 42 and adding a new shooting aspect ratio that Red is calling 4.5k.  2.33:1 Aspect. Very cool.

 Also, Red is releasing 32GB cards soon... and you'll need it or the 16GB cards if you want to shoot RedCode 42! 8GB cards are NOT supported with Redcode 42.  Red Drives and Red Ram are cool tho.
