  • 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 :)

No matter what, it won't be $4,500. We all win. RED/Curt get volume sales and we get the great price break.
 
mmmm...pola, 85, sfx1/2

Seems like 3 filters are used all the time...
 
You know guys, I am seeing a lot of people post on here saying that the RED Mattebox makes the ARRI a bad choice...

Hmmm.. Do you think this is a responsible thing to say?

Price is a great reason to love something, and I have no doubt that Curt will make a great item.

But....

We are doing with this Mattebox, what we do with so many RED items, we're guessing.

Those of us that pulled the trigger on ARRI needed to things:

1. A high quality mattebox
2. A high quality mattebox, that exists. TODAY.. And will ship in the next 4 weeks.

Now I could be wrong, but at this time, RED has not been able to committ to #2. 95% of the people who went into the ARRI group buy need their equipment very soon.

So let's not say anyone made a bad decision by buying ARRI.. I think we're safe saying ARRI is pretty good in the quality dept :)

If you have the time to wait for the RED mattebox, then by all means do so. But if you don't or you want that name brand, then BUY ARRI.

Remember, every photo of RED you have seen up now has had an ARRI mattebox on it.. So I don't think I'm the only one who likes them.

This is not a zero sum equation. For one person to buy a RED mattebox (When it comes out) does not make the person who went with ARRI wrong.

thank you, RED. if any single piece of equipment ever needed revolutionized, it was the over-priced, under-delivering mattebox. looks terrific.

That's a tad high Shawn.:wink:

Actually, Curt said from $1350 to $1500, I added the extra $500 for pad. As a matter of fact, I always add some pad because no matter what... it always costs a little more. But that is just me. YMMV Shawn.

I think you guys are both wrong about the price. AFIK, the only price I've ever seen listed was $1200-$1500.

EDIT: Oops. Nevermind. I found a price listed at $1k here.

At the moment this looks like a CAD render, not a matt box at all.
Any ETA for a working prototype sitting on a camera body with
weight and filter tray specs?
No info equals no matt box IMHO.
Go on, show me I'm wrong, I dare ya.

Wow. Yet another great development. I didn't want to give my money to Arri, particularly at their price points. I'd rather create my own cardboard mattebox with taped filters!

Now I know where I'm buying my mattebox. ChristmasKa has come early.

And the guys at RedRock are puking

Unlikely. RedRock is $500. Red would have to release theirs at $1,000 or below to really compete. I'm expecting this RedMatte at $1500

LMAO... Lesson learned. NEVER pad the "Showcase Showdown".:)

Shawn, I hope your right about the price, then maybe I can afford some of this great whiskey you speak of so fondly. :biggrin:
