8K VV Global Shutter sensor
The V-Raptor XE system is equipped with a large-format 8K Vista Vision (8192×4320) global shutter CMOS sensor with 35.4MP, delivering exceptional resolution and superior control over depth of field and stabilisation.
This sensor eliminates rolling shutter, capturing fast motion without distortion, making it ideal for dynamic scenes in film, commercials, or live events. It delivers crisp, detailed image quality even in the most demanding projects.
+17 stops
With +17 stops of dynamic range, the V-Raptor XE excels in handling extreme lighting conditions — from night scenes to high-contrast environments.
Its low-light performance, combined with an optimised thermal system, ensures clean images with minimal noise. Meanwhile, its flexibility in post-production allows for precise adjustments to exposure and colour — especially when shooting in R3D RAW.
Up to 60 fps in 8K and 240 fps in 2K
The V-Raptor XE offers high speeds such as 60 fps at 8K (17:9), 240 fps at 2K, and even up to 300 fps at lower resolutions.
This capability enables the capture of slow-motion sequences, sports, or visual effects that require smooth motion.
Recording, pre-recording and proxies
The camera supports recording in R3D RAW with data rates of up to 800 MB/s on CFexpress Type B cards, offering lossless quality for advanced post-production, along with Apple ProRes 4444 XQ up to 4K 120p for faster workflows.
Additionally, features such as pre-recording and simultaneous proxy recording optimise the capture of spontaneous moments and streamline editing, making the V-Raptor XE an efficient solution for productions of any scale.
RF-mount (native), PL and EF
With a native Canon RF mount offering full electronic communication, the V-Raptor XE ensures compatibility with RF lenses such as the Cooke SP3 or the Leitz Hektor.
It also supports the use of adapters for PL and EF mounts, expanding lens options to include models such as the Canon V35, Canon FD Cine-Mod, or the Leica M 0.8, among many others.
Compact and lightweight
Weighing just 1.83kg and measuring 14.9 x 11.6 x 10.8cm, the V-Raptor XE combines portability with a robust aluminium alloy construction, making it ideal for handheld shoots or challenging environments.
Compatible with Micro V-Lock batteries and DSMC3 accessories, its ergonomic design makes it easy to use in handheld, gimbal, or drone setups.
Wi-Fi dual and cloud integration
The V-Raptor XE features dual-band Wi-Fi for wireless control and real-time monitoring from iOS or Android devices.
Its direct integration with platforms such as Frame.io and Amazon S3 enables immediate cloud uploads, streamlining workflows and facilitating media management in multi-camera productions or live events.
