As production continues on Michael Bay's latest big-screen orgy of giant robots and huge explosions, the director is using a very special camera to capture some of the action. RED recently created a custom RED 8K camera for Michael Bay dubbed "Bayhem" which is said to be "the lightest, most advanced hand held motion picture camera in the world." Bay has been putting the camera through its paces on the set of TRANSFORMERS: THE LAST KNIGHT and he shared an explosive video via Instagram.

Although the camera was created for Michael Bay to use on the set of TRANSFORMERS: THE LAST KNIGHT, he couldn't help but test it out on a Victoria's Secret commercial first. Oh Bay, you rascal.

RED – made me a custom camera. It incorporated some of my thoughts into making the most advanced, best hand held motion picture camera in the business. We first worked with it at the Paris Opera House on my latest Victoria Secrets Campaign. @redcamerausers
