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.
Check out the rest of the images below for a closer look at this impressive process.
In the series below, you can see the process of laser engraving that happens in front of the huge crowd gathered outside the “clean room.”
And finally, here’s a wider look at the crowd gathered to watch the Dragon upgrades.
