LENS MOUNTS AND LENSES

LENS MOUNTS

This section describes camera lens mounts. Camera mounts may be configured with 19mm rods to accommodate
most cinematography lenses, matte boxes, and follow focus systems.
RED recommends only using the RED RANGER Shimmed PL Mount with the RED RANGER. Other RED lens mounts
are mechanically compatible, but may cause focus accuracy issues.
WARNING: All lenses are hot swappable. However, lens mounts are NOT HOT SWAPPABLE, meaning you cannot
remove or install lens mounts while the camera is turned on. Before installing or removing lens mounts, you MUST turn
off the camera. Failure to do so may result in damage to the lens mounts or camera that is not covered under
warranty.
