The V-RAPTOR ST is the first of the new DSMC3 generation of RED cinema cameras. Launched with some extra help from David Fincher and Jason Momoa, the limited edition white V-RAPTOR ST arrived with a price tag of $24,500 and sold out shortly after launch.

With a new, black version coming soon, the V-RAPTOR ST has been described as the most powerful and technologically advanced RED camera to date.
What’s new with the V-RAPTOR ST?
This newest addition to the RED camera range features a pioneering multi-format 8K sensor and the highest recorded dynamic range in the RED lineup with over 17 stops. The fastest-ever cinema quality scan time is twice as fast as previous RED cameras, with the cleanest blacks.

The new V-RAPTOR range is positioning itself as a leader in digital image capture technology. With access to the largest lens selection in relation to comparable cameras on the market today, the V-RAPTOR ST also has the capability for consistent 4K+ shooting.
This compact camera weighs just over 4lbs, can capture up to 600 fps at 2K and livestream at 1080p. This V-RAPTOR line will also allow users to capture 16-bit RAW, thanks to the inclusion of the proprietary REDCODE RAW codec.
