  • 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

For those in Canada you have to remember that we don't have to pay any import tax on "video" equipment.
 
By the way, doesn't New York also have a 100% tax exemption?

Yes, NYS has an exemption for "tangible personal property used directly and predominantly in the production (including editing, dubbing, and mixing) of a film for sale regardless of the medium by which the film is conveyed to the purchaser." See form ST-121, which also mentions a similar exemption for equipment used to produce material for broadcast. You must also be registered as a sales tax vendor (form DTF-17). One or the other of these could also get you out of paying sales taxes on your editing workstation, etc. as well.

I'm not sure if this exemption will apply for people who primarily plan to rent their gear out rather than making movies with it themselves.

As always, consult your accountant before taking tax advice from random people on the Internet.
 
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.

Jim

I only need the RAW port for 4k 60fps and 2k 120fps. I will use REDCODE RAW for everything else. I won't mind paying $6,500 for the RAW port, as long as the RED-RAID is still being considered for development. There is no way I can spend $100k+ for some third-party DDR.
 
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.

Not in Texas, all equipment used in the creation of motion picture/videos
is tax exempt. We have no state income tax, but we have one of the highest rates of property tax and insurance rates......at least the houses are cheaper here.

Question on the battery situation.. If I purchase a AB to Vmount adaptor, will my Anton Bauer batteries work on RED? I would rather put the money towards things I DON'T have vs. Things I already have.

Jay,

Jarred said the AB to V-Mount adapter had been test with RED and it works.

This is fantastic news. Means my investment in Anton Baur Batteries and my super cool titan on board AC adaptor will still work just fine.. And now I have $1,650 to put towards a better Mattebox

Jay

Jarred thanks for Testing this.
 
Red External Raid

Red External Raid

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.

Mr English, do you have any news on the RED EXTERNAL (not camera mounted) RAID?

thanks & congratulations!
 
I am also very interested in any news about the external RED-RAID. My decision about camera configuration (even camera purchase), is based on if the RED-RAID will ever be made. I can't count on a third-party providing an affordable solution. I don't mind waiting over a year for the RED-RAID either.
 
I only need the RAW port for 4k 60fps and 2k 120fps. I will use REDCODE RAW for everything else. I won't mind paying $6,500 for the RAW port, as long as the RED-RAID is still being considered for development. There is no way I can spend $100k+ for some third-party DDR.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think the RAW Port as any internal media. You need an external device to capture the footage.
 
The Red Drive is on the price list.
As you know it does 4k Redcode RAW at up to 30 fps. Essentially a 4k raw DDR when used in conjunction with the red camera
This was what Evin was suggesting, because of the focus in this thread on the uncomressed RAW port.

It went down like this:
The The: Soooo... when will the Red Team announce their own 4k capable DDR... Like for $10,000 (I guess there is no pleasing us)
Evin Grant: They alredy have, It's called a Red Drive!
 
RAW speculation

RAW speculation

Until the infrastructure beyond the camera matures a bit more I do not expect more than a handful of people to actually mess with RAW output.

The biggest issue for most of us is overcranking capability. IMHO if you need more than 60fps hire a Phantom for those particular shots. I have no specific information to support this other than logic, but it is my belief that in a few years that RED will offer a major upgrade of the electronic guts of the camera that (combined with improved code, etc) will dramatically increase the frame rates.

On the bright side anything destined for TV can be shot at 120fps 720P and should cut in just fine, theatrical might work as well but until we get to test actual footage its all educated guesswork.
 
Sorry for the cross-post, but I love to see all my toys typed out! Here's my personal RED package (already own batteries and a ton of Nikkors).

RED ONE body ............................. $17,500
RED EVF ........................................ 2,950
RED DRIVE 320GB HDD ........................ 900
Nikon F-mount adapter for RED ONE ...... 500
RED ONE RAIL-BASIC ....................... 1,250

Sub-total ................................... $23,100
Less "reservation credit"...................(2,500)
Total ......................................... $20,600

If you ask me, that's a LOT of very high-quality, movie-makin' stuff for only $20,600!!!
