I was very interested in the 2D cinema camera attachment as that was going to have a larger sensor to accommodate the larger lenses. The phone was also going to be able to function as a monitor for other RED digital video cameras.

There was supposed to be a battery module and a 2D cinema module which would allow for attaching removable lenses from manufacturers like Sony, Nikon and Canon depending on which adapters you bought. It was going to be similar to the Moto Mods that we’ve seen with the Motorola Z series where there would be some electronic contacts on the back of the phone and you could snap attachments on to add functionality. One of the big selling points of the RED Hydrogen One, at least in 2017, was going to be its modular capabilities. Regardless, long before receiving the device, I have been met with a complete lack of professionalism from this company - something that ardent fans lurking on social media and in the H4Vuser forums seem to demand from the tech media.Īt least now we can begin our review.

It was there on a Monday morning, but FedEx wouldn’t let me pick it up until Tuesday for some reason. Thankfully, an email to the woman whose name was listed on the FedEx tracking info allowed me to have the package held at the local FedEx center so I could pick it up.
