Overview
The RED EPIC Mysterium-X 5K Digital Cinema Camera - PL Mount features a 5K sensor capable of capturing up to 120 frames per second at full resolution. In challenging lighting conditions, EPIC makes it easy to adapt with its ability to reach up to 18 stops of dynamic range with HDRx. The 5 lb (2.3 kg) camera BRAIN enables shooting in compact spaces, or on handheld gimbals and aerial drones.
EPIC has made large format distribution accessible and easy. 5K images make it possible for you to streamline your footage for IMAX applications, giving you the most resolution for stills and motion workflows. RED accessories and modular architecture allow your camera to adapt easily to fit every production.
REDCINE-X PRO software provides you with a wealth of integrated tools to import, finish, and export your images within minutes.

EPIC features interchangeable lens mounts to ensure you get the look you want every time, with mounts for Nikon, Leica, Canon, and PL glass.
NOTE: This camera system is typically configured with a PL lens mount. Please contact your AbelCine Rental Agent for details and availability of other mount types.
HDRx technology yields up to 18 stops of dynamic range, dilating your exposure in even the most challenging lighting conditions. EPIC offers up to 4 more stops of latitude than its 35mm and DSLR counterparts.
EPIC is an ideal 5K solution for lightweight 3D image acquisition, for theatrical and IMAX applications. Its small form factor and broad compatibility are important for efficient 3D production. 3ality Technica was inspired to create their compact ATOM 3D rig exclusively for the EPIC.
EPIC will capture a 5K image at up to 120 frames per second, and is capable of reaching a maximum frame rate of up to 300 fps at 2K. For robust efficiency, you can capture video and photos simultaneously, using an HDRx track to draw sharper stills.
REDMAG SSD media provides a solid, dependable media solution with storage capacities of 64GB, 128GB, and 256GB. Capable of reaching speeds up to 180 MB/s, REDMAG media is twice as fast as traditional CF cards, making it easier to offload the 160,000+ RAW frames you can capture on one SSD.
