In what is probably the wildest thing I have seen thus far at NAB 2013, RED has built a ridiculous clean room for its engineers to perform Dragon camera builds on the show floor – complete with windows for spectators to watch the magic happen.
For a little background, EPIC and SCARLET owners also have the option to upgrade their cameras’ sensors to the 6K Dragon sensor for around $10k. The upgrade program has finally begun with quite the spectacle here at NAB 2013. The EPIC-M Dragon starts at $29k.

Ever wonder what it would be like to strap a $60k camera to a radio controlled octocopter? Well, someone dreamed up the idea of putting a RED EPIC on one of these devices and produced the stunning results you see in the above video.
To get a better idea of the potential of this rig, check out the below video shot with the Sony FS100 riding on the OM-copter. [click to continue…]
