Hi Jarred,

what will the CF pathway allow over the non CF upgrade pathway?

Thank you very much

fury
 
magnesium!
 
Dragon Monochrome upgrade path?

I've been off the board here for a bit gents . . . bring me up to date. Does the Weapon have a new sensor or is it a form factor upgrade?

Current lens mounts work?

Ship date?
 
Redefining the game.

So many impressive marks, R3D and ProRes alone is a killer move for my NFL work.
 
This looks incredibly amazing and powerful! 6K RAW and 2K ProRes at 60fps together? Shit! This really is the WEAPON! Can't wait for the specs for R3D at 6K only. 200fps at 6K??? :w00t:
 
So Dragon-X body only is $24.000 right now

Weapon Magnesium body only is $34.500

$15.500 credit for Dragon-X means $20.000 on top when you trade in.

Selling Dragon and buying a new Weapon seems a lot less expensive then...

The only question is availability of regular Weapons in the store

So are all the frame rates halved vs the CF or is it just when dual recording of prores?
 
Yeah, seems like selling Dragon outright would be the best option. Hell I'll buy someones Dragon X body for $15,500!
