  • 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 :)

Forged Weapon

>>> Another Forged Carbon Weapon fresh out of the oven

Pictures are awesome but ...can I have some Forged Carbon Weapon r3d's out of the oven instead?
It's a Very simple request!
Thanks!
 
My rep is about half my size so no problem.

Another Forged Carbon Weapon fresh out of the oven. Looks like we are going to be making alot more of of these in both 6k and 8k than I imagined... So much so that the first W6k shipments in July likely will all be Forged. Pretty incredible considering it is an unlisted camera that you need to actually arm wrestle your sales rep to order :)

Requested! This is so badass. Thank you Jarred and Red for making such cool stuff!

Ha ha!!

Funny you said that Elsie...

I have been thinking on how the number 8 + 8k would go... :)

I love Jarred to death, one of the coolest dudes I have ever met... But I also hate him for the shit He comes up with... I like CF stuff, but just truly LOVE Magnesium for some really crazy reason...

And the actual M8 would fit perfectly with it too, (M for Magnesium) but this FORGED body is something you need to see in person... Talk about shit looking like it's out of this world!!

My treasures, simple stuff, have come from RED. Nice to hear the fire is burning.

I could beat my sales rep arm wrestling!

If we order 8K upgrade you guys gonna do first weapon then upgrade the sensor for 8K? or is it a one time full upgrade to 8K?

The general concept is Weapon 6K upgrades start in July 2015 and the 8K Sensor Upgrade happens at the end of the 2015. I imagine "timing" plays a role here in terms of when your particular upgrade gets called.

I know the interest has escalated for the 8K sensor since it's been announced. I do wonder if 8K "can" happen sooner.

I mean, my birthday is in July :)

Time will tell.
 
That photo is so beautiful of the Forged Carbon Weapon..... I am trying to be Zen... to learn patience... But I so want it.... Great job J and Brent and the whole team.....

Finishing this Dragon FOX film here in Atlanta and have another in September so maybe it can be 100% Weapon by then.....
 
@ Red,

I've read about some impressive weight savings, where engineers have used Forged Composites rather than CF weave.

Does the Forged Weapon engender tangible benefits over a CF Weapon?

Thanks,
AJ
 
forged carbon tech came from a lamborghini joint venture :

... But what makes it so much better than standard carbon fibre? Forged Composite forgoes the standardized weave and uses a random arrangement of loose fibres mixed with resin and forms them in heated press at high pressure. What this does is that the resulting composite is strong in all directions without the additional cost and complexity of adding multiple layers. While the random arrangement of the fibres used might seem haphazard, the development process was spent making sure Forged Composite is statistically consistent. As a result, you get a product that is as unique as a snowflake in terms of aesthetics.

To further elaborate, the manufacturing process of Forged Composite is a godsend, compared to traditional carbon fibre. You can now form complex shapes with just a single piece, with little to no wastage of materials and at tolerances as tight as a thousandth of an inch. While material costs are the same as with woven carbon fibre, the fact that manufacturing time is drastically reduced and much less labour intensive, Forged Composites are potentially cheaper to produce and are better suited for high-volume production runs.

It certainly does not mean those special cameras are any cheaper for RED to produce compared to the woven CF ones but it looks like we may see more forged CF in the future once this tech becomes more accessible
 
So, how much less is the price point for the Forged vs CFWW? ;-)

Thank you very much

My rep said it was an extra $10k for the forged vs the woven. It super super sexy and i WANT it so bad just can't spend another $10k for looks at this time :-(.

Yep. Also was told there may be some additional features that come along with the Forged piece, but waiting for the details...

Still, as Mikael states above, a bit perplexing at the additional add on pricing...

Thank you very much
