  • 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 :)

Complete Red One Camera Package Price

And no it wouldn't be cheaper to pick it up from New york because you still have to declare it and pay the same duty/vat anyway. If you don't declare it then you might get it confiscated and be sent to prison (Unlikely since all the prisons are full hehe).
 
Okay, so if we want the raw port option, how much more would that add to the package. I mean what else besides the $6,500. What connects to the other side?

That is what´s so great about a country like Mexico. First, you don´t declare it. Then you have to press a button on a trafic light at the airport. If you get green, then you´re home free. But if you get red, then you haggle over the dutty that you´re supposed to pay on the item that you "forgot" you had with you. Since they don´t know what red is or how much it costs, you convince them that it is a disco light and only worth $30.

Raw Port

Raw Port

If you add the RAW PORT for uncompressed 4K and 4K+ recording, then you are also looking at hooking it up to a $100K+ price range 4K / 4K+ capable DDR.

Historically that's actually a good deal, but compare that option against the power of REDCODE RAW which enables 4K resolution internal recording. And by the way REDCODE RAW recording was a very significant post NAB 2006 upgrade to the camera specifications. This was 100% the right thing to do as it made a 4K workflow truely affordable, but did also add some extra hardware costs.

Soooo... when will the Red Team announce their own 4k capable DDR... Like for $10,000 :) (I guess there is no pleasing us)
 
Ok, just finished correcting my excel budget for the 2 Red one cameras, replacing my estimated prices with the real ones.
I'm happy to report that the total ended up only $2500 more expensive than estimated...pretty close. Red rail/cage was cheaper, but the batteries was a little more expensive. Batterymount+LCD was not included in the base price, but the allowance covered that.
 
We are happy to sell any customer a RAW Port, but I want to make sure they see REDCODE RAW vs. RAW before they spend the money.

DIY indie budget (for narrative filmmaking):

$17,500 camera
$ 1,200 (only one battery and Charger with LEMO Cable to run camera off household current 90% of the time)
$ 1,700 LCD viewfinder
$ 900 Raid (one day soon flash media will be bigger/faster/cheaper...I'll wait until then)
$ 500 Nikkor mount (or you could rent or borrow PL mount lenses)
________
$21,800 TOTAL
- 2,500 minus generous Red allowance
$19,300 from my bank account to yours

All Nikkor lenses come with hoods (preventing lens flares just as effectively as a matte box, or you use flags or your sister holds up a pillow to block the light). Similarly, you can screw on ND filters and polarizing filters to any of these lenses. I already have the RedRock follow focus and I'm happy with it.

I'm firmly convinced I can jerry-rig various camera junk I have to make a safe, workable shoulder mount and a handle grip that screws into an available slot on the camera. Standard screw sizes are standard screw sizes. (Obviously, way easier to just buy the Cage, but heck, if I had Jim Jannard's money I wouldn't need mine!) The shoulder mount below is a starting point--vintage 1960's purchased for $11 on ebay. :-)

So, seeing as how I'll need a way of making money to purchase my lovely RED, I came up with a win/win solution for those of you who live in California. Say your purchase is around $20k - that's over $1700 in taxes. Tell you what, change your shipping address to my place up here in Oregon (you know, California's Canada) and I'll charge you $700 to ship it down to you in California. You save $1000 and I make some money for my RED purchase. Everybody wins! :innocent:

I'm not seeing a viewfinder of some sort there.

I very much believe the quality of the codec will be breathtaking. Its just that now we are trying to understand all the options offered, and the word "raw output" still has a strange, magical power to it. But even so, in the end I am sure we'll all follow Jim's suggestions and Redcode Raw will become an industry standard.

Thanks, Jim.

One could always adapt a riffle scope on top of the camera. :biggrin:

Haha - you probably could. And it would probably work. Everybody at Sundance would compliment your BOLD composition choices. Film buffs could even decipher the deeper meaning behind those choices.
