I have a complete Scarlet package avail in LA for insured productions.

I just heard that Bright Tangerine will be producing a 15mm rod adaptation for the Misfit.
A 143mm back for the MatteBox will be available the week of June 17 and have a bracket similar to the VlV...

Offering a full Scarlet production camera package in Canon or PL mount for rental in the Los Angeles area.

Prices are flexible based on shooting needs, but will generally be $250/day

Agree. However the moving fronts of the lenses make that kind of thing a bummer unless you use a donut of some sort.

More folks should make a sliding system for the matte boxes...theres one or...

It is very light to be sure. Great quality...the best I've seen actually. But it will pose a problem with some stills glass. I've tested with Duclos cine mod'ed Contax (21, 28, 35, 50, 85, 135 & 200)...

I have the Misfit.
It is awesome...and very light. That said, while I would pop it easily on any cine package, I'd be a little wary of stills glass like Contax...of which I have a full set. Even...

Yeah. The requirement of the Touch LCD is probably the biggest misconception I've seen from those buying the camera.

In my experience the two instance thing is pretty flawless in the year I've been using. Ive had one or two instances where I had to entire my user name, but thats really all I had to do to make the...

You can still use the software offline.
I've been using CC for a year and it feels the same to me. The programs are downloaded to the HD and the CC only checks occasionally.

The monthly rental is...

3K is pretty solid.
2K is usable.
1K is a flip camera. ;)

If you have the work to pay for the Epic upgrade its certainly a good deal.
I guess the root of my curiosity or concern centers around Scarlet not Epic. With so many Epics out there for rent the...

I would speculate that they would have a solution for that...a month or daily price, but who knows.

I just tried to open a couple DVD's and CD's the other day that were burned as backups between...

I totally understand your point about security, but I must say I really enjoy the rental pricing.

I've been on the creative cloud for over a year and it has been smooth and easy. Updates happen....

No. Not the BMCC. Anything I would move on to would be more something easy for personal use. Maybe a new DSLR, more likely something a with a more robust image and an easy workflow...perhaps the...

Irrelevant.

This is about the upgrade path of the Scarlet alone and where it stands in the market.

No one questions the fact that supplying an upgrade path for its users isn't generous...its...

1. It was a lot of cameras. Maybe 30 form my casual viewing at the booth. They wouldn't say who's camera's, but I personally know many of the original RED owners, the first adopters, and none of...

Normally I wouldn't comment on something like this, but you asked for thoughts, so I feel justified giving them. Respectfully of course.

While I'm sure you were technically in the right regarding...

Yes, everything aside. Any upgrade path is better than no upgrade path.

I'm gonna be the outsider here, but many of my friends are very successful in the Wedding/Event shooting game and I cannot in good conscience recommend a RAW camera for such things. The event...

Absolutely.Fair enough.

I guess my point was, more or less, do I need to upgrade a camera that requires a card that costs half as much as the camera in order to truly maximize its potential. For...

This is a pretty astute thought. Scarlet is in a weird place now...between cameras that are ridiculously easy (and even fun) to use and cameras that come complete, fast and ready to go for nearly...

I agree with most of your analysis...but what I'm trying to figure out is when when the rubber meets the road will it matter for me.

I don't suspect I'll be able to rent my scarlet out any more...

Agree, generally 1/4 res would be enough for editing.
I tested out a few Sony Raw clips to play with right before NAB. On my semi-heavily souped up mac pro I got significantly faster hi-res...

I really don't have much issue with RED's plan for EPIC upgrades given the market that camera resides in. My thinking is based on the middle ground Scarlet occupies and the myriad of options...
