RED WEAPON HELIUM 8K S35 Brain

The RED WEAPON HELIUM 8K S35 is a high-resolution cinema camera that introduces a lot of key features, including:

8K resolution at 8192 × 4320
300 MB/s data-transfer rates
DSMC2 Interchangeable OLPF system for greater versatility
Compact, lightweight, woven carbon-fiber build

RED WEAPON HELIUM. 8K. Nuff Said. Well, that’s not enough said. The RED WEAPON HELIUM 8K S35 is a high-resolution cinema camera that introduces a lot of key features, including:

8K Resolution. This is the banner headline that gets people in the door. The all-new HELIUM sensor pushes RED to a monstrous 8192 × 4320. That means you get video that’s four times the resolution of DCI 4K at 60 fps and still images at up to 35.4MP. In addition to an increase in resolution, you will also see improved low light performance and greater dynamic range.

Lighter than Air. The original RED ONE was built like a tank and weighed about as much. The modern RED HELIUM brings a svelter physique, with a body built of woven carbon fiber to keep the weight down and the power up.

High Data Rates. The HELIUM can handle 300 MB/s transfer rates, which allows you to record REDCODE RAW files at the highest quality, while also recording ProRes proxy files in 422 HQ, 422, and 422 LT at 4K resolutions.

Greater Versatility. The WEAPON HELIUM features the DSMC2 Interchangeable OLPF system. This means that you can optimize your footage for your environment by swapping out the optical low pass filter. We send the DSMC2 Standard OLPF installed for balanced shooting, but we also rent the Skin-Tone Highlight and Low-Light Optimized OLPFs as add-ons.

Semi-Backwards Compatible. A fully redesigned brain also means support for some components/accessories has been dropped. Any RED component labeled DSMC2 is fully compatible, and we include the DSMC2 Lemo A Adapter to retain compatibility with original DSMC Touch LCD monitors.

Additional Items Required. At a minimum, you’ll need the following additional items to operate this camera:

RED DSMC Canon, Leica, Nikon, or PL lens mount (see Recommended on the left-hand side of this page for a complete list)
RED DSMC2 Sidekick or DSMC2 Touch LCD (see Recommended on the left-hand side of this page for a complete list)
RED Mini-Mag SSDs
RED Mini-Mag Station

Q & A

Are there any known power compatibility issues with this brain?

Wooden Cable-less battery plates used with DSMC2 brains running firmware version 7.1 or newer require a firmware update to the plate before it can be recognized as a compatible module by the camera.
We’ve updated our copies in-house so if you rent a DSMC2 brain and cable-less plate from us, you’re all set! If you source a cable-less plate from somewhere else, you can go here for instructions on how to update the plate yourself.

What do I need to operate this camera?

At minimum, you’ll need these items to operate this camera: a RED DSMC Lens Mount; a RED Mini-Mag SSD; a RED Mini-Mag Station; and a menu-interface solution such as the RED DSMC2 Sidekick (external monitor required for live view), a RED Touch LCD, or a DSMC2 Touch LCD.

Does this rental include a lens mount?

This rental doesn’t include a lens mount but available mounts can be found under the “Recommended” tab on the left side of this page or by searching here.
