  • 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 :)

How much will the I/O module cost?

I am cool with $35,000 for a full frame epic. Does anyone have any idea as to how much the I/O module s will cost on top?

Apart from lenses, power and grip which I already have. It is just an epic head , I/O module, storage and viewfinder I need to buy. I just wonder if the I/O module will be over $10,000 .
 
No idea, however on another thread this topic came up, someone said they thought they'd budget "5,000 for modules (plural)"

Jim responded "Where did you get that number? Its...interesting"

Which tells us that 5000 for modules (plural) is probably dead wrong. Whatever that means.
 
It is the price of the modules that will make or break this thing.. Remember they work for ALL the Brains. So you could be looking at an additional $5,000 for a Scarlet..

I dunno how that will wash out.

Thanks guys. Yeah, that is the interesting part. I imagine there will be a variety of different spec's modules available. I can't see them being that cheap as there is quite a bit going on there, including the encoding?

We will have to wait and see.
 
i don't think the modules are going to be priced nearly that high. I'd expect to pay less than $2000 for the I/O module and less than $1000 for the battery expansion. While nothing is going to be cheap, I wouldn't expect any deal breakers with the accessories.

I doubt the modules would be doing the encoding -- that's almost certainly happening in the brains. The filesystem management and storage allocation: that I could see...
 
I wonder if they will release different versions of the I/O module, it would be sweet to have the ability to configure an I/O module for exactly what you want. Furthermore I want to know if RED might eventually release the pin configurations for the modular design so we have more variety and companies to look at for our accessories. I think that allowing companies to help build up the accessory line for RED will help spur competition to keep RED ahead of the curve.
 
I'd have to guess that everything in the "explosion" post by Jarred - EXCLUDING THE BRAIN AND LENS - will run somewhere between $12K - $15K

My logic there is ....

the RED ONE with EVF, 7" LCD, quickplate and CF module is $23,950.

The Scarlet S35 Brain is (estimated) $7,000.

That is 5K and more dynamic range than the RED ONE -

so ... if you think of that as the "next generation" - it should be a little better & a little cheaper ... but then you "compensate" a bit for the modular construction ... and there is a bit of rod/bracket goodies in the "explosion" post ... so I'd say you are back at $23,950 ... add some magic Jannard dust and you get to $20,000 - less the $7K brain - that's $13K.

I expect, as usual, there are plenty of un-realistic folks.

This is all just my personal guess. I could be WAY off.
 
That sounds quite reasonable considering a 1080P monitor. I would be more conservative and say all accessories are around 20K

Yeah, that was me.

To be honest, I don't know what to make of Jim's response either. Say the modules required to match the R1 is $10k That means a S35 Scarlet + modules = $17.5k ... At that price point, I could see the majority of people sticking with the R1. It has more features, and the sensor is still upgradeable. That would also put the 2/3 scarlet at $12.5k which would delegate all HVX, EX1 market to the fixed lens scarlet. One camera in the sub $10k price range, and three in the $10k-20k range is definitely possible... but also interesting.

But if the required modules are $2000, then a S35 Scarlet is going to be $9.5k ... and lets just say I can't see a lot of people purchasing R1s.

That's why I thought a S35 scarlet would fall into the $12k-$14k sorta range.

Now the Scarlet S35 is 5k, so maybe that will allow them to price it closer to the R1 without cannibalizing sales .... Or maybe December 3rd will change everything. Who knows.

As soon as Scarlet S35 ships ... I don't think they will.

But I do also think a Mysterium X in a RED ONE will be bad-ass.

Big question there for Red owners, more important than "how much" is WHEN, and they will be able to upgrade. After Scarlet S35 ships but before Epic S35 ships? At the same-time?

I think Jim or Jarred should just make a HOW DO YOU THINK YOU WILL UPGRADE POLL here on Reduser after his next bombshell - and then, even if folks change their minds - RED will have a better barometer of what people plan to do.

And at 13k that would put the 2/3" Scarlet at $15.5k .... IMO that's really close to the price of an R1, considering the features.

The R1 has a lot of features that scarlet lacks - 120fps, 2:1, 2.4:!, anamorphic... And Red has made a big deal out of saying that Scarlet isn't a R1 replacement...

Agreed... though then another bombshell well come and they'll have to redo the poll haha.
 
IF all accessory modules would be $1K(or less), would that save money/cost more/be the same amount, if someone wanted everything to add on? :detective2:

We'll likely make a package that saves a bit...
