  • 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 :)

Announcing Weapon 6K Carbon Fiber

SUCCESS!!! CF WEAPON ORDERED!!!!
 
Slightly confused.... does the $10,000 'deposit' secure the 2016 8K camera for a total of $49,500 or will it be more after that?

So I upgrade to Weapon CF then extra $10K for 8K rez?

Ah that's a nice perk. Also just found the Weapon packages. Looking good now. With the NAB accessory credit, plus the accessory packages, plus the 8K sensor discount, AND the woven CF... Now I'm excited. Very, very cool.

Ordered. Thanks Jarred.

It means you pay $10K now to go from 6K to 8K when available. After this week, that price will be a lot more...

So, yes, you are only paying $10K for the upgrade to 8K form 6K, all in.
 
Brent, sorry, but

If you own EPIC CF DRAGON before NAB, credit towards WEAPON CF is $ 22.500 to $ 5000 plus weapon accessory credit. If you own Epic CF After NAB
starts, price is $ 20,000.

in total before NAB be a credit of 27500.
total after nab be 20000? or 25000?
 
The $5000 WEAPON accessory credit is only during NAB for new camera orders. The $5000 Weapon accessory credit extends past NAB for Dragon to Weapon upgrades.

Brent not possible to upgrade my Carbon to Weapon CF ????

You currently have no serial numbers eligible for this program.

is a problem to web site?
 
For anyone else taking a hard look at how the pricing with upgrades and incentives shakes out, here's the up front deal:

Paid $50,000 for Dragon CF. Paying $49,500 for Weapon CF plus $10,000 for 8K upgrade. Getting $22,500 trade-in credit (Dragon CF to Weapon CF), plus $5,000 accessory credit, plus $10,000 reduced price for 8K upgrade. Total outlay to get to Weapon 8K will be $37,000 'more dollars' for a total platform investment of $87,000.

Assuming the Weapon CF 8K platform will cost approximately $69,500 ($49,500 base Weapon CF price plus the $20,000 8K post-NAB sensor upgrade quoted here), this is a net 'loss' of $17,500 (less an additional $5,000 in accessory credit) to buy and own the Dragon CF then trade-in to buy and own the Weapon CF 8K camera, versus buying the Weapon CF 8K outright.

So if you were able to make at least $17,500 off of your Dragon camera, then you're saving money and you will have added years of 6K workflow under your belt.

Speaking honestly; this is not the amount of credit I had hope to be getting and the upgrade path is much steeper than had been expected. That being said, no other company in the world even offers a trade-in and when you crush the numbers as I did above, it's an impressive value. I also believe this is RED's forward-thinking plan to minimize the value problems people have been complaining about. With steeper upgrade cliffs and less trade-in credit, RED brains will hold value longer.

Thanks guys. I've pulled the rip cord on the Weapon CF with 8K sensor upgrade and I look forward to doing the same for the rest of my Dragon bodies.
 
The Europe page is not working... when ordering there is a message saying some items been removed from the list... I only get the accessories not the actually brain tried both buying and upgrading...

Edit I make the order with us fag in the upper right corner then when checking out the camera is taken out of the deal... whats up with that?

When clicking on the camera link on the uk page I get to this: http://eu.red.com/search?utf8=✓&q=W...ore_slide&utm_campaign=WEAPON_Launch_NAB_2015

Thanks. It is the foundation of our Obsolescence Obsolete. Obsolescence Obsolete is not about making things that never improve or move forward, Obsolescence Obsolete is the pathway for our customers to have trade-in options as they go along when things need to change to move forward.

That is usually with Brains and Sensors, and sometimes with accessories. Its up to you guys if you want to buy new, upgrade what you have, or stay with what you have. The ability to have all those options is pretty unique and we think it's a pretty good system and a great value for our customers.
