DJI RONIN Group Buy

Not open for further replies.
Got a couple questions about allowing per-announcement purchases. No can do. One set of rules for everyone
 
When will we know what the accessories costs are? Like the thumb control. Or second operator controls... Or does all of that come with? I spoke to DJI people at NAB booth that confirmed that it comes with all this stuff and that all of it was accessories to be bought as an extra. So I think there is a bit of confusion on DJI's part. Also, That There will be a micro adjustment screws for balancing on the gimbal that weren't on the prototype unit. Is this true? Or the DJI NAB people making things up? When will these things be finalized? Thanks very much.

All good questions. Any others??

Maybe Demetri can make a single list of everyone's questions ;-)

Question becomes "How can we pay for something when DJI hasn't even determined a final price?". They have publicly stated "it's going to be less than $5K" so charging $5K then refunding the difference when it becomes official seems like the proactive way to approach this. I'm not the storekeeper here so will defer to Patrick on this logistical point.

They should tell us the price before we pay.

That seems a reasonable request but I don't think our pre-pre-order is going to affect their global market based pricing calculus. I want to be first in line so coming in with paid orders before they have all their shit together for 1000's of reasonable folks to make a fully informed buying decision is my best guess on how to accomplish this.

See my next post - separate because it applies to everyone
 
If you are not comfortable with any element of this Group Buy then please do not participate. As RED Users you know there is inherent risk with the unknowns of 1st Gen products . . . as well as rewards. If you want all the answers, have a low tolerance to change or screw-ups then please wait it out until there is a real clear picture and a 100% field tested product.

I'll do the best I can to get us as many pre-purchase answers as possible but my personal level of risk management should in no way influence yours. Buyer Beware applies
 
Features & Package Deal Wishlist (post your ideas and requests so we can include then present this to AMP/DJI):

1. Top Priority = smoking package deal on Carbon Dragon and Epic. Would love for RED/DJI/AMP kick down a compelling and integrated bundle
2. Thumb Control
3. Extra Battery and little parts that break or get lost replacement kit
4. Custom PeliCase like so: http://cinemaoxide.com/site/product/pelican-case-for-movi-m10-red-overlay/
5. Limited "RE" RED Edition which could include some value add by AMP making this product "Tuned For RED"
6. Training by AMP and/or DJI - "Top Cam - Learn to Fly" (Top Gun motif) . . . A one day workshop covering everything from initializing, flying and servicing the pig. This series to be made available via private YouTube channel for International customers.
7. Pro Certification like Microsoft and Apple have through seminars and tests.
8. Direct DJI Cine Hotline Pro-Support. Not the regular 1-800 RC support line.
9. First in line for Upgrade path
10. Extended / Transferable Warranty
11. Universal mount to allow attachment to 3rd party gear such as SteadiCam or AP Raptor. Might be 3rd party supplied but need interface drawings and project champion. Fury perhaps?
12. Discount on bundle with DJI's LightBridge system as an option for those who want it
13. Transmitter/Receiver for 2nd Operator as an option for those who want it
14. 12 volt and 5 volt aux power ports for monitors etc - see below Demo for Morons vid. . . start at 2:45 to prevent nerve damage
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7MsNxFHdCU
15. Multirotor Attachment to allow quick release from top handle and reattachment to Octo
16. "X" Price discount . . . last since I personally value the above more. Folks have suggested a 10-50% off deal. I don't think a deep price discount is realistic. Trost Sliders selling direct, when their intial market is 100% RU's, has nothing in common with a large, established, global company like DJI who prices with no consideration to first in line buyers expectations. Just saying don't get all crazy thinking on this issue.

And of course . . . SWAG!!! - "DJI RE", "TOP CAM Pro Pilot" gear 'n wear, Stickers and other fun stuff
