  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Attitude adjustment...

I'm beginning to suspect the upgrade path from Scarlet to Dragon is: Sell Scarlet-> buy Epic-> Get in the back of a massive line -> ? -> Profit

Starting to look that way. Not a great feeling all said and done. Hmm. Again these price reductions are great, it's just starting to look like Scarlet owners are left dangling.

RED takes care of its customers. They have said all along that there will be a path, they just don't know the details yet
 
Again, I cannot thank Jim and Jarred and the Red Team enough.

Yep, time to sell Scarlet and buy an Epic. Less than idea given mine is only 1.5 months old.

Ah well.

Dude why not use it and make some magic then but another EPIC as a B cam ;)

Financially one camera is what's in my future. I'd rather it be epic, and I could really use the higher frame rates for the material I'm shooting.

If the Scarlet wasnt going to do what you wanted then why did you buy it... if you dont mind me asking?
 
Jarred said they are still working out the details and the new boards for dragon aren't even ready yet so they have no idea what path or how scarlet will move to dragon. So I'm happy they have told us this much rather than nothing, or promising something they aren't sure they can deliver.

I think a lot of us Scarlet guys are thinking the same thing, I just don't see much of a market for resale scarlets since we don't know what(if?) are upgrade path is. For me, if i could return in my scarlets and pay current price for the epic but have the upgrade to the dragon included ... that would be great. When will Red now what/if the upgrade path is so i can plan out my budget a bit?
 
Jim, this is bigger than the Scarlet release... this is like dropping a nuke on the whole industry! As a Scarlet owner, thank you for making the Epic within reach!
 
Jim, Jarred, RED Team,

does END OF LIFE for RED ONE mean that no repairs are possible in future?
Just to understand what you add to that formula?

If it is the case, it might be useful for young starters to understand, when deciding the pro's and con's regarding SCARLET vs. RED ONE M-X BT.

Cheers,
Axel

How long does it take you to earn $20k with your Scarlet?! That's what's up. Get out and get paid and make money!

Uhhhh

$7950 * .02 = $160
$19,000 / $160 = 118 days

Best case scenario if it rented *solid* starting today...

118 / 3 day weeks / 3 week months = a little over a year if someone rented non-stop and it never broke for a year.

Yeah. Not going to happen.
 
Because the seperation in product prices from what they were was much more dramatic. A well equipped scarlet was all I could afford. Now, an epic is actually reachable IF I sell Scarlet.
 
The new pricing is good. It brings the possibility of owning an Epic closer to guys like me, who don't have deep pockets, and have no intention of renting the gear out.

Best of all, I'm just really glad RED didn't make me regret buying one of those BT Scarlets. With the extra year of warrantee, and the thousand-dollar bonus, it does make the discount less significant, but I'm still in the black on that. Which is nice.

Axel, great question. We have accounted for repair inventory for RED ONE BT. So, yes, repairs to RED ONE will be possible until that inventory depletes.
