V-RAPTOR XE is built with the core features for modern filmmakers and supercharged with RED’s flagship image quality.

Record in stunning 8K full-frame resolution at up to 60 fps.
The large-format global shutter sensor captures clean and detailed images without rolling shutter artifacts.
Shoot 4K at up to 120 fps or 2K at up to 240 fps, all while retaining RED’s signature color science and dynamic range.

Unlock maximum post-production flexibility. REDCODE RAW (R3D) preserves detail, dynamic range, and color data, ensuring professional-grade control in grading and finishing.
Run multiple monitoring setups on set. The two 12G-SDI outputs allow you to send unique views to different monitors, so crew members can see exactly what they need.

The V-RAPTOR XE comes in Nikon Z mount, with a secure locking design and shallow flange depth for flexibility with a wide range of lenses.

Capture with confidence at speeds up to 800MB/s. CFexpress Type B cards handle the high data demands of 8K RAW recording while keeping workflows efficient.
Stay ready for any shot. Pre-record mode ensures you never miss action, while simultaneous proxy recording delivers faster turnaround in post-production.
Shoot clean, detailed images in challenging light. The tightly managed thermal system and R3D recording format give you outstanding performance in shadows and highlights.
Upload directly from camera to the cloud. With Frame.io and AWS integration built in, plus wireless and wired support for RED Control and RED Control Pro, you can manage, share, and control your camera from anywhere.
