  • 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...

FAAAARRRRRQQQ...... me... Thats cheap !

I just burst out laughing... and I don't know why.

I feel so lucky being apart of the X program thanks Jim, technically my X kits cost me 23k...

And the EPIC M kit I have was still cheap in the grand scheme of things, knowing that I had that horse power 2 years ago now and made my money back on it in 2 months with that competitive edge.

Still think your all Mad. :)
 
As a BT Scarlet owner (for the last 2 weeks) I have to thank Jim for making us feel good about our recent purchase - The $7100 plus Red Armor is still a great deal!! I just am thrilled to be in the RED FAMILY !!! 5k @24 is all we really want at this point - PLEASE
 
Jim/Jarred,

From my understanding, the Scarlet -> Epic upgrade path was pure RedUser speculation and hasn't officially been talked about. Is this something that could be on the cards? Or is this something we won't ever see?

I'm trying to make plans for the future, and aiming to get my hands on any kind of Dragon capable of 4k overcranking. I know it's early but any words would be much appreciated :)

As I said before, everything in the electronics world changes... usually for the better, cheaper and faster. EPIC and Scarlet just did. Right now.

We have built an incredibly efficient factory in Irvine, California and over time learned how to make EPICs in quantity, lowered our assembly costs, found better suppliers and fully paid off our NRE. When we assembled the 1st EPIC camera in Stage 6 at RED Studios Hollywood it took our team 12 hours. It took two more days to de-bug. Today we can assemble an EPIC in 13 minutes and 95+% need no re-work after diagnostics and testing. It is a testament to our manufacturing team and supply chain teams.

Since our costs are now significantly lower we are re-pricing our cameras as of now.

For those of you that purchased a new Scarlet ( not battle tested ) or EPIC brain on or after Oct. 1st 2012, the next time you order accessories from RED you will receive a discount to use towards that purchase. $1000 for Scarlet and $4000 for EPIC. Talk to your Bomb Squad representative when you are ready to use this discount.

Now… here is the new pricing:

5K EPIC-X Brain- $19,000

5K EPIC-X Monochrome Brain- $20,000

5K EPIC-M Brain- $24,000

5K/4K Scarlet Brain- $7,950

4.5K RED ONE M-X Battle Tested- $4000 (includes CF or SSD recording module). The RED ONE is End of Life. Battle tested is all that will be available from here on out.

Due to high anticipated volumes, plan on extended response and processing times.

Dragon sensor upgrade is not included for any EPIC system purchased at the new pricing going forward. It will be a $6K upgrade.

Pricing is being updated on www.red.com as I post this.

Well, 4.5k would be sweet now that the red one mx is no more on the way.

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

I hope your right Will

I'm tempted to sell the Scarlet and go R1 just to put more cash in my pocket and actually start making a better profit. It's just gonna get harder and harder with more viable cameras in the wild, productions may even get tighter budget wise who really knows.

At the same time I really don't see the point in spending over $5k for a camera in todays world if we continue at this rate. I ordered my camera Nov.3 got it Mid-January and the price has already dropped, I haven't even had it for a year. Like Jim said thats the nature of technology

I buy video games when they drop to $20 that way I have 3 badass games for the price of a new $60 game. Same great video game only waay cheaper

this logic is starting to apply to cameras it seems like....finally

I kinda wish the post stated

EPIC-X W/ SIDE SSD AND LENS MOUNT
Starting At $22,500

EPIC-M W/ SIDE SSD AND LENS MOUNT
Price $27,500

SCARLET-X W/SIDE SSD AND LENS MOUNT
Starting At $10,150

You pretty much have to have all the accessories to really benefit from a $19k Epic it's just kinda misleading to all the newbies who don't know about all the hidden fees

well congrats to all the guys who held off you guys are saving mad dough where it counts the most

it's gonna be weird, Scarlet opened doors to allot of new customers, this is gonna take it to another level

Hey guys is it possible to just use the BT RED MX with a Zacuto EVF? (hdmi)? Looking to basically use this camera only as a B-Cam for interview shoots. So trying to keep it light but also usable.

yes it is possible....Zacuto even re wrote their code for the EVF's because they were not working quite right over a year ago....I used mine all the time

+1 on this.
 
Boring details...

Obviously, tonight is going to flood BOMB SQUAD reps' phones and inboxes. As Jim said in original post, expect delayed response and processing times for the very near future. We'll keep the troops here for another couple of hours tonight and then be back at it in AM (ie, resume normal hours of operation).

BC
