Our third episode of weekly tech news is here!

This week Nino and Johnnie take a closer look at Nikon’s acquisition of RED and take a deep dive into RED’s history. They also analyze this week’s poll, in which readers were asked what their wishes are once Nikon takes over. After some major happenings this week, they also discuss the state of the industry as a whole. Johnnie and Nino also have more information on how you can  join the CineD team at NAB in Las Vegas and they introduce a new factory tour that Johnnie shot at Libec - a family-run manufacturer in Japan specializing in tripods. A discovery is made, that there are currently no cameras with a high enough resolution on the market to film with Apple’s Vision Pro headset, and that the Sony BURANO is now being shipped. Finally, Leica has introduced a new camera which Johnnie is looking forward to testing.
