  • 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 :)

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

LOL... that's hilarious! Just don't go shooting any presidential candidate rallies here in the US. Rifle scope mounted on a high tech looking camera the Secret Service isn't familiar with = dead. Seriously, if I was an SS sniper and I saw someone with that thing I wouldn't even ask to take the shot. The RED just looks threatening, especially with the optional rifle scope. :)
 
Minimalist package:

RED ONE CAMERA BODY........................$17500
RED DRIVE 320GB (x2)............................$1800
CF OPTION............................................$500
CANON MOUNT.......................................$500

TOTAL DUE: $16800

(Battery: other, LCD: via HDMI on larger LCD, Cage: other...)

LOL... great minds think alike! I just hope they realize they don't have to pay import taxes - we're still in the US. :)

Btw, does it count if I meant to post something about this a couple weeks ago when I was trying to figure out how I was going to pay for this thing?

Well that's hindsight, and you know what they say about that!
But the important thing is to not letem stay to long, elsewise they move here.
Just kidding all you Californicators! I'm from there myself.
Let me know if your doing any shooting down here. I'd be happy to pull cable for ya.

"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 "

for california - if you are engaged in teleproduction/post production activities and teh equipment purchase is used 50% or more in those activities - you are except from 5% of the state sales tax (you pay tax amount above 5% )... section 6378 -CA rev & tax code section 1 , division 2 - Sales & Use tax , exemptions & exclsuions ..

if i remember correctly?? - you would need to fill out a section 6378 exception - hand it over to RED when you purchase and you only pay the tax above the 5% which in CA would be 2- 2.7 depending on county where you live ?
if you sell the equipment or it/you leaves the state within one year of purchase you then owe CA the 5% tax ..
i could be wrong/correct -check with your tax person ...
 
So 2.7% of a $25,000 purchase comes to $675. I wonder what the shipping will be for the ramera and accesories. If it's $75, and you live close to the border of another state, then it might still be worth it to have it shipped. $600 could buy you lunch and an extra battery.

The The,

You be careful, Chazmo and I are just goofing (I think). Don't pay for it with a check drawn on a Calif. bank! hehehe
You wouldn't believe the amount of big motorhomes and exspensive automobiles that are registered in this state. (It costs $52.00 to register any vehicle here for two years!)

FYI-
Regardless of what state you live in, you are obligated to report equipment purchases to your state and pay sales tax, this is just part of doing business. You are not "exempt" from sales and use tax just because you dont live in California. The obligation is off the seller if he doesnt have an office in your state to collect, but the obligation is on YOU to report.
If you are ever audited by your state sales tax department you will be responsible for the tax and penalties. Be warned, audits in our industry have a higher percentage than most others.

Huh, is that true if your state has no sales tax?

That's correct and a good reminder for RED to have their system handle that. It should be obvious but many companies for some reason "aren't able" to give that tax discount. Dell, after assuring me they would when I bought my monitor, never did. It is the key thing which soured me on Dell.


Another tax reminder for folks... many many states (including Califronia) DO charge tax on something you buy from out of state. You have to claim it. It's only been in the last couple years that they've been taking it seriously, but they are auditing for this specifically now.
 
normally this would need to be earned in the form of a credit...I dont think vendors are required to discount for you. In other words, you are required to file a claim for refund of the tax after your purchase. You have the obligation to prove you are eligible.

Interesting, in all my purchases, I've never done that. I've just told the vender I'm in post-production, they whip out the form, I don't even have to bring it. Off the top of my head West LA Music has done this, so has Mac Connection.
 
I wonder what the complete system cost will be from capture to finish.
 
BTW- you can thank Louisiana for that...we have been getting very aggressive in our Film Tax Credits which has caused CA to react with this incentive. We are now #3 in Film Production in the U.S.

By the way, doesn't New York also have a 100% tax exemption?
 
Where'd the numbers for the allowance come from?

Can anyone tell me where the numbers for the allowance came from? I'm number #498. Haven't seen the $2500 listed anywhere
 
"normally this would need to be earned in the form of a credit"

if you paid the full tax at time of purchase then you would apply to get a credit ..however under 6378 you MUST give the 6378 certificate filled out to CA vendor to not pay the 5% ..
a out of state vendor does not have to accept it and if they do collect the tax then you would file for a credit ...

AND for CA residents if buying items out of state & the out of state vendor doesn't collect all taxes ( 7+ %) due then we are suppose to fill out form xxxxx and pay the sales tax directly to CA !!!
