This is the first camera under the new Z Cinema umbrella which Nikon are also classing the Z mount RED cameras under as well. The ZR is based around the Z6 III but of course has a few refinements to make it more focused for motion acquisition and some new features that RED have had a hand in, and thats why its got both of their branding on the camera.
