The V-RAPTOR XL 8K S35 boasts a Super35mm 35.4 MP CMOS sensor, providing filmmakers with a practical alternative to full-frame capture that is especially suited for in-the-field productions. Despite its compact form, this camera is capable of delivering high-resolution footage with a shallow depth of field that's sought after by cine-style shooters. The camera also offers an impressive 16.5+ stops of dynamic range, making it possible to capture stunning images in virtually any environment you explore.
Performance
The V-RAPTOR XL 8K S35 comes equipped with an ARRI PL lens mount that can be swapped for a separately available Canon EF mount, giving you access to a large variety of lenses. On-sensor enhanced phase-detect autofocus and in-camera AI processing is available for select EF lenses, with face detection and object tracking functionality set to arrive in future updates. Designed with professional crew use in mind, the camera features integrated auxiliary power and mounting points for attaching multiple high-end camera accessories. With motorized clear and 2 to 7-stop electronic ND filters with 1/3, 1/4, and 1-stop increments, the V-RAPTOR XL 8K S35 provides precision exposure control that's easily adjusted via the side push buttons or wirelessly using the RED Control app.
Cooling System
With its advanced cooling system, the V-RAPTOR XL 8K S35 offers a more reliable and efficient solution for professional filmmakers. The camera employs dedicated fans that work independently to cool both the auxiliary power components and camera components. Additionally, a heat exchanger is used to regulate the temperature of the sensor, ensuring optimal performance and image quality. This unique approach to cooling not only helps reduce noise during recording but also creates a more durable system that produces less black shading, even in high-temperature environments. As a result, the V-RAPTOR XL 8K S35 is the ideal camera for demanding production environments where reliability and image quality are essential.
Battery and other Features
The V-RAPTOR XL 8K S35 is also incredibly versatile, featuring a streamlined form, interchangeable lens mounts, and classic Super35 look that make it perfect for wildlife, broadcast, and cine-style productions. The camera's DSMC3 form is compact and durable, and is compatible with micro-V batteries, several monitor options, CFexpress card capture, and a modular design that, when paired with a compact Super35 lens, creates a portable, ergonomic form. The camera also comes with built-in interfaces and an integrated OLED display, lending it a streamlined, accessible form. With an integrated V-mount battery plate that supports 24 to 34V batteries with multiple auxiliary power outputs and standard 12 to 16V batteries, the V-RAPTOR XL 8K S35 is ready to take on any shooting situation. Plus, with built-in Ambient Lockit mode for wireless genlock and timecode syncing, and multiple video outputs including 12G/6G/3G-SDI, the camera is well-equipped to meet the demands of any professional production.
