Buy/Not to Buy the CF module?

[Scott Miller]

What is the general concensus?

I am getting a Red Drive (or 2 if I don't order the CF Module).

Is the CFM a "Must Have"?

Thx,

Scott

ships with the reds...have to get it

This is what the Red Store says:

RED ONE camera includes:

• Camera body
• P/L Mount including BODY CAP
• Accessories: (1) SD CARD, (1) mini-BNC to DIN 1.0/2.3 cable, (1) mini-XLR to mini-XLR cable, (1) mini-XLR to XLR adaptor, and BOLT SET
• Highly recommend that a CF MODULE is purchased along with each RED ONE

And this is the CF Module:



REDFLASH (CF) MODULE

Price: $500.00
Deposit: $50.00 (10%)

So do I need it, or is it just as a backup form of storage to the Red Drive?

Just get it. Your camera would be an unrentable orphan without it. AND there will be situations where you will not want to use a spinning drive.

definitely a must have.

Thank you. Trying to spend money wisely, and sometimes that means to actually spend it.

Thx.
