  • 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-X begins...

Your old Red Bridge Plate (15mm or 19mm) will work fine in combo with either the Wooden Camera Riser plate or the FMJ Riser Plate. Also ET's Hybrid plate also works with either.

For ET's Hybrid you need a 12mm riser shim to keep the same rods to lens centre distance. ET do one but if you are in Europe, Ronford Baker does one at only £75 and much less shipping than from US. That's what I've got.

Clarification... "Stage 2" Epic-X is that much cheaper.

Stage-2 is the deal of the century. But for those looking at buying at EPIC-X at full price (Stage-4), the price difference between M and X is negligible. Essentially there's about a $4K premium for an M vs. the X, based on next year's retail pricing. For those who need a camera now, it makes a lot of sense to pay the bit of premium to have it now.

Deal of the century is right on...I was shocked when my Epic-X invoice arrived. Thanks Jim for this awesome gift + we keep our Red One to boot!

I think it's exactly $5K, for anyone that cares. Jarred also did say they'd sell them "until they ran out," though what that means exactly is anyone's guess. For all intents and purposes, they're the same... M just gets you in the door NOW if that's what you need.

Paul Leeming from Japan has reported he received an email and EPIC-X #378 is on its way.

Yes, my order's complete and paid for, just waiting on the Fedex notification at this point! It'll be the first Epic-X in Japan, just like Red One #378 was the first EVER Red camera in Japan. Weird to be the pioneer of an entire country sometimes, especially when I see the way I set up my Red business being mimicked by everyone else (things like Red package deals where the entire industry here used to do a la carte on high end cameras etc).

Congrats on your Epic-M by the way Joseph!

Cheers from Tokyo,

Paul :)
 
@ Ketchi - I watched your "leaving US packing" Video on Vimeo like 10 times. Sorry, not to look at you, just to drool over your equipment.

I shall try!! You and Mr. Hutson have given me great inspiration! I easily am starting to lose desire for much else and digilantly figuring out ways to bridge the gap! God willing within the next few months!

Now THAT is impressive packing, I need to show this thing to my wife!

(I remember watching this the first time and thinking: "There is NO WAY they will let him on a plae with all this stuff!!") Obviously they did...
I am not sure what I fear most, travelling with that kit or three young boys.
 
Um... Don't shoot me for asking this but has there been any updates if Epic Stage 4 ships before November 3rd (Scarlet Day)? Jim, Jarred? :)

The stages are clear, they are working on stage 2. When it's finished they will start 3, then they will start 3.5, then 4.

No point asking how quickly each stage will go, no one exactly knows.

What you can be sure of is we'll know a lot more by Nov. 3 as many more Epics will go out and we'll have a better sense of the pace.

hello ketch,

do you have no problem with the customs at the airport with all of this pack ! ?
When you travel with his pack, have you a ATA paper ?

Well, this last trip back to Italy form the US was not an easy one, but I was also carrying some serious luggage with me, so had to do lots os smooth talk, and at declaration I was fine only because I was with a special reentry situation after been in the US for 22 years.

Normally you are only allowed ONE Photo-camera bag, no specified dimensions no weight limit specified either, but I always have at list TWO, again smooth talk and kindness always does the trick... ;)

No papers.

The Backpack is a Lowe-Pro Tracker II, they don't make it any more, its the one with the 17" Lap top receptacle, the other ,and several others I have are Think Thank, most of them Airpot International V2 models, great bags.
