DIT Station Rogue

[Samuel Gursky]

played around with one of these today (put down my deposit as soon as they were announced) and I must say, worth every dollar. This thing is beautifully crafted and built to take a beating (or a crash, eh Martin?).

also, if you have nothing nice to say don't say anything at all.

Hi Guys

- Thanks Jake it is pretty badass.
- The price is $8650 not including MacBook. You get everything else.
- This is the standard configuration and you can customize so if you don't want a CF reader ... you don't have to have a CF reader. This isn't digital dictatorship.
- We do have plans for a 17" MBP version but the Rogue model is a super compact, over head cabin model. Ultra portability!
- We think the Rogue is priced extremely honestly, and I'd say a lot of people agree hence round two of pre sales. I'd like to see these other cheaper options and compare their design, craftsmanship, and quality.
I should also remind that although this is a public forum, that doesn't mean our manners need to fall by the wayside.

Thank you for clarifying. This thing is total rock & roll.

Good to know you can customize. I'm not sure what I would swap out in place of the RED CF reader. If you're just dumping audio files from a CF card I think the Red CF reader is a bit overkill, in both size and price. I'm not sure if you could use two SSD readers at the same time. I would look into this more if I was going to buy one of these. For now it goes on my "Wish List" along with a Red Rocket, The Clutch, The new Leica Summilux-C lenses, and an Audi R8 GT.

That's a pretty rad wish list Brad. I play with The Clutch every time I go to the studios, they're just mechanical fun.

Two RED Mag readers is a nice way to go and a common custom option as we are seeing. It doesn't share an eSata channel so both readers retain speed which is nice.

Also Sam G is referring to the cab crash I was in yesterday in New York. Before I checked myself for injury I thought "damn the Rogue was in the boot / trunk". It had been thrown right up the car and against the back seats and turned over. I powered her up and went on to do two more demos and she's transcoding some RED footage now. If that's not battle tested I don't know what is. GOROGUE

I was so close to pulling the trigger on the original DIT station, but a change in employment left the purchase at the roadside Im afraid.

What I can say is that the guys at DITstation did go out of their way to listen to every ridiculous design request I made.

If you can afford the price tag I wouldn't expect you to regret buying one of these little beauties.

They both look rock solid, and the Rogue seems like a perfect remote location offload bank.

will you guys be at CineGear 2012 I'd love to see it in person.

do you have any benchmarks with a red rocket and download speeds?

[Jon Jones]

If it had a 12TB RAID, I would buy it for sure!

[Rick Allen]

External UPS and 12tb raid5.......

@Kwan

it's really tough to have an efficient set-up in NYC it's so hard due to space constrains which really determines your rig.

You've got allot of great gear but that rig is straight sktchy looking no offense, I mean your harddrives are on the floor.

you should really consider the Scout37 it's a great solution for a guy like you. Cart is the foundation of your kit not a C-Stand

how long does it take you to set something up like that? What if you have a to turn around and move your kit?

ROGUE maybe overpriced to some but you have the luxury of portability.
