RED Pro Prime set FAQs

[Peter Weisberg]

Oftentimes, we want to know the price, (to see if we can afford it)... and to avoid the embarrassment of asking for a quote (i.e. wasting your time)
when we realize what we are interested in, is out of our budget.

could not agree more with this statement

I have found that Abel Cine Tech to be very quick with pricing info-I have been an Abel fan for years. Matt Livingston has been my sales person for about a year, I also believe they (the sales team) are not on commission, a plus for me.
Keep up the good work Mitch.

Any news about the new RED Zooms 15-50 and 50-150mm?

I think its important I reiterate my frustration is with their website, not
their company. I like Abel Cine, their prices are very competitive...
and they sell great gear.

I just shop online more often than not and usually at night after work...
again, a downloadable PDF price list (even at full retail prices) with a call for best quote caveat would do wonders for my budgeting and time management...

I'd also like to think they appreciate constructive feedback... :)

Dealt with both companies Today, Filmtools on-line and Abel on the phone. I also PM'd Mitch and he steered me to sales right away via REDUSER.
Sales called me right back but the ARRI low Bridge is currently out of stock
I ended up getting it online. Filmtools has a much easier online customer experience. Abels search engine is complicated. But Mitch told me there are 14,000 items not listed on site! personally I dont want to talk to anyone but that is just cuz i'm teed off spending 585.00 on an ARRI low bridge! Both have been great resources.

Yup. I do it too more often than not. I think there is an entire market segment that Abel is missing out on. It is called the "late-night online impulse buyers."

I second that Jeff
I can't figure out that one either.
I would think that if ET or Duclos
made a more affordable low bridge
/ support system they should have quite
a few customers. 600.00 for an arri low
bridge on a 5000.00 lens just seems
a little overpriced. Come on guys let's
come up with a 300.00$ solution and
maybe an old fashioned zoom stick for
the 18-85.

Optitek makes an adapter kit that transforms Red Universal bracket into Arri Bridge for $50

still no luck finding lens cradle for RPP 300mm
I talked to Mattew Duclos todayand he has yet to see the lens. Anyone have
one nearby? He seemed pretty busy so I don't think he is jumping on it anytime soon.
Any other 300mm owners have any better luck. Thanks

Abel does not carry it. You can order directly from me- just email me the request. The adapter kit is actually part of the 18-85 support kit but I can sell it separate.
