Amphibico unveils Rouge housing for RED Scarlet X and Epic
Amphibico has announced the release and produced renderings of its Rouge housing from RED Scarlet X and Epic digital cinema cameras. Uniquely, access to all controls is via the grips, rather than via REDMOTE. The manual focus, zoom and Iris controls are all servo driven, and the RED TOUCH display can be viewed via top and rear windows. The housing has 4 bulkheads for I/O and is compatible with most popular lenses including most from Nikon, Canon E and PL mount.
Amphibico Rouge will be available from mid-September at a retail price of $12,999.
