He really is the pioneering force behind RED in France. However we respectfully :-) take exception to the term "hefty" when describing our rigs. Perhaps the term is fair when compared to some of the "hobbyist" rigs currently available but I can tell you many stories of 3D from 10 years ago when the fully dressed rigs weighed in at nearly 300lbs. Even today some of the new rigs easily exceed 250lbs with a pair of F23s. The Quasar with F23s and the rest of the necessary parts scan still weigh less than 100lbs. Now since "hefty" was followed by "incredibly solid and rigid" we really don't have much to complain about. Anyway, we're happy to be involved and look forward to what LocaRED will do with the entire line of Technica 3D rigs. Any chance we can see some photos of the rig in action?
