RED HELIUM
With stunning image quality and incredibly high resolution, the RED Helium will take your filmmaking ambitions to the next level.
The Helium’s 8K sensor allows for a crisp, clear image; up to seventeen times more resolution than HD and over four times more than 4K. The Helium’s A DSMC2 brain is capable of data write speeds of 300 MB/s, and can simultaneously record in REDCODE RAW and Apple ProRes as well as Avid DNxHR/HD.
The RED Helium is small and lightweight at just 1.5kg, perfect for high-quality filmmaking on-the-go!
