WEAPON® with HELIUM® 8K S35 delivers stunning resolution and image quality—creating clean and organic images that bring your footage to life. RED has taken the next step in exceeding the flexibility and beauty offered by film. At 35 Megapixels, 8K offers 17x more resolution than HD—and over 4x more than 4K.
The WEAPON is also offered with a RED DRAGON 8K VV as well as VV Anamorphic option that creates the signature anamorphic look when paired with the appropriate lenses.
