RED V-RAPTOR — Cases & Transport Protection
RED's flagship travels dense: an 8K VV body that shoots dual-format, usually moving with plates, media, power, and often a zoom attached. The case has to match how yours is actually built.
- 8K VV dual-format
- DSMC3 platform
- ≈2 kg body
- ST & XL configurations
About this equipment
The RED V-RAPTOR is the flagship of the DSMC3 line — an 8K full-frame sensor that also shoots 6K S35, in a compact body that crews build out heavily; the V-RAPTOR XL wraps the same sensor in a larger, production-oriented chassis with internal ND. Both ship constantly between rental houses, owner-operators, and sets.
Our V-RAPTOR builds run from a tight body case to fully-built layouts — one catalog build carries the camera with a Core Nano power system and a Fujinon Cabrio zoom mounted. Dense cameras with glass attached are exactly where CNC-cut cavities beat pick-and-pluck.
Choose protection by workflow
Occasional moves, vehicle transport: foam inserts and padded protection in a case you own.
Travel and carry-on workflows: compact hard-shell builds sized to airline limits.
Constant shipping: ATA shells, modular replaceable foam, fleet-matched layouts.
Purpose-built around your exact package and workflow.

Transport knowledge
A V-RAPTOR with a dovetail, top plate, and zoom is a different object than a bare body. The fully-built catalog layouts exist because that is how the camera actually travels on working jobs.
CFexpress media, Core-series packs, and chargers get dedicated cavities in the kit builds. Batteries follow airline lithium rules — cabin, not checked.
The XL's larger chassis and accessories need their own layout — foam is not interchangeable between the two. Specify your body; XL builds are quoted.

Frequently asked questions
Yes — the fully-built catalog layout carries a V-RAPTOR with a Cabrio zoom attached. For a different lens or build, request a quote.
XL builds are handled as quoted projects cut to your configuration — the chassis and accessory set differ enough from the ST that we engineer them per package.
Made to order, typically shipping in 7–10 business days. Fully-built and XL layouts are quoted per project.
