  • 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 :)

Epic-W

Why kill the Weapon MG and replace it with an identical spec'd camera with a different sensor, yet keep the carbon fiber dragon to match the Helium Weapon?

The Weapon MG was unique in their high-end lineup for being Magnesium (or is the Helium weapon also magnesium?), 225Mb/s, and limited to 2k prores. I wonder if Red has decided one of these traits they do not want to support in one of their high-end cameras?

I suspect the Epic to at least have 4k prores. I also find it surprising that helium has such similar frame rates to the dragon at each resolution, and I wouldn't be surprised if the helium weapon ends up with greater framerates unlocked from what it currently has now.

I doubt it, and I think remember it was posted somewhere that it is the same spec as the stormtroopers, just not white. Seems clear to me that Weapon Helium is a CF Weapon with Helium sensor.
 
I'm always excited to hear about a new camera from RED but at the end of the day I'm still happy with my RED One MX! If I were to buy a new camera then a Scarlet W is the obvious choice but is there any idea how the price of Epic Dragons has been or will be affected by all of these new cameras? I know there's a lot of usability upgrades with the Weapon line, which I think is the best part about them, but a 6K Dragon is still a top end tool.
 
Can anyone explain what just happened, I'm a little lost

I'm in the scarlet d to w waiting list but I can now go for a epic w for 20k? Is that right

And do we have any specs on the epic w ? Can't seem to find ny facts

Tried to make sense of the update thread but am a little simple:) sorry

So Epic-W has the Weapon-CF bords in an aliminium body wich makes it an higher class than Weapon-MG?

No it probably has the same boards as magnesium, the weapon helium has the faster boards
 
I'm new to RED and pre-ordered a Scarlet W. It is unlcear to me how much the total cost would be to switch my order to Epic W. Can someone please clarify? What would the total cost of the brain be?
 
An additional $10k from scarlet W purchase price
 
Ok, what is the known specs and price of Epic W? 8k 30p I read with option to record subsample out 4k proress is the what I know. What other fps at what resolutions? Im still very pleased with my Epic MX but its always interesting to follow this. So If you have an Epic MX, should you cash in an deposit on the Epic W to have the option to get in on a deal? or how do you go about it? How much is the deposit?

Maybe do a late deposit... should give you plenty of time to hear how early adopters are faring with their cameras before needing to pay up. Plenty of time to pull back the funds if you so choose.

The Scarlet W to Epic W deal sounds like a good one and should offer plenty of opportunity to back out if the need or desire arises.

As far as Epic X to Epic W... I have no idea what the cost of that will be but I'm thinking Jarred and/or Brent will make these things known before hammer time.

The deposit on the Scarlet W is $1,000 and I suppose it would be an additional thousand to go from the S-W deposit to the Epic W deposit.
 
never mind

I think it should be a sticky with the most important info. I dont understand if there is needed to put in a deposit when going from epic x to epic w? Would be good to know this.

Was wondering if the "sorry for the wait" discount price goes for Raven, $10k from purchase price or what? I know the Raven is receiving a path to Epic W just not sure if there's something I'm missing.

Maybe it'll be clearer when Jarred updates the Update Thread tomorrow.
