Titanium...

[Jarred Land]

I assume these are for use in the Antarctic and Hell? Otherwise, not necessary?

Thats a pretty good assumption..

You should always support heavy lenses if you can. And yes.. it will come finished if you want.

Yeah I know, but some times you wish you could have so strong of a mount not to worry about it..

Great to know that we can get it finished.. I know I will, just need to figure out best option with you guys when time comes in deciding for SS or T. ;~)

[Nick Gardner]

I hate to be that guy, but why no ears on the mount? How are you supposed to safety the lens mount when you mount the camera on the front of a roller coaster for the Six Flags commercial?

for the 300mm, you will be fine. the 300 doesn't REQUIRE support... its actually lighter than the 25mm RPP. but it is long, so if your sticking matteboxes with a bunch of glass in them on the end, the leverage could be trouble if you hit it.

So is there any good reason to chose Titanium or Stainless over Aluminium for normal use ?

Anyway, good to have the choice.

tape it up... thats what the big dogs do.

Its funny people used to actually drill holes in the Arri PL dog ear tabs and safety wire the mount to something.. We heard enough stories form AC's of those little tabs that are held in with little tiny screws rattle off and the safety wire then become useless that they just tape them up now, and the tabs actually get in the way of that.

Hey Jarred,

I'd like to point out that a lot of people begged for a higher quality mount a while ago, and here you come up with one. I have to assume, that because you designed Epic to handle back focus IN CAMERA instead of on the mount, you created a much simpler design requirement on the mounts themselves. This means mounts are easier to make, and you can make any type of mount that covers the sensor, and has demand.

Sometimes I wonder if people realize the true beauty of the Epic design is not what you CAN SEE but the potential for what's to come because of what we CANNOT SEE.

In simple "RED101" terms:

You ain't seen nothing yet.

Good work to you all.

Got it!! Even so I will mostly shoot with the lens free of any filters, when outdoors I will have to put the clip on with some ND's so will pay double attention in the handling of it.

Unobtanium would be unobtainable. Duh.

That didn't stop Oakley from using in their eyewear!

Love the titanium mount. Hope it fits into my budget...

[Djordje]

Sorry man.. All focus is on Epic right now. We need to get Epic buttoned up and out the door, or there will be no Scarlet.

Jarred, Just go and work on this REDVOLUTION thing you started and dont give up. dont worry about us being a little boring...''Everything comes to he who waits". We forget this often...
