In that spirit, where's the audio pots I've been whining about for a year now?

But seriously, I assume you rednicks can glean the good suggestions out of this conversation. It's not unappreciative of all the amazing things you are doing. It is genuine enthusiasm for the great possibilities of this technological jump you are leading, and a natural reaction to the interactive business model you are also pioneering.

Actual question:

I saw in some photos from IBC that there is a handstrap that hooks onto the REDhandle. Will RED be offering a hand strap with red logo? And if so will it be included with the REDhandle.

Also, has anyone ever bought this http://www.red.com/store/895-0001

If I recall, the strap on the IBC cam was a $8 job they said they slapped on there, and not representative of what would likley be offered.

Jim, I'm looking forward to the announcement in Oct.

Mods, would there be any way to pull all the new renders into one post, so we don't have to plow through 50 pages to find them?

Working on that right now, Tom. :001_cool:
 
I am a really happy RedOne owner. I am really exited about the new announcement and even though I'd love to upgrade to Epic, I'm not so sure If I'll be able to do it. With all the Birger delays, unfortunately it took me a while to start moving and using my Red.

For my personal and artistic work, I really don't feel the need to upgrade the Red. It just works so good and gives me much more than what I'd expected and it keeps getting even better for free!. I am getting incredible images that were impossible for me to get before. But it is true that I went way over my initial budget, but hey, that's why I gave up my career as a business man, I'm terrible with numbers. :-)

So even with the great deal that Red will give us, I don't know if it'll be worth for me to pay the extra cash to get those features. I guess I am still in love with my Red, that I feel it is too early to start cheating on her. It's been roughly 6 months waiting for my Red and over a year with it!

I don;t want to sound like whining, but before I was changing my Sony HDv and paying the full price every few years to get the new one. But that full price was 3 to 5 k. (and a crappy quality compared to what I have now) but when I decided to go for Red, it was a big investment jump for me, and every small upgrade even if it is not to pay the full price, it is going to cost much more than the sony prosumer I was used to, because now I am playing in a different league. And even with "obsolesce obsolete" when time comes upgrading from the brain Epic X to the Epic SS35 brain it is going to cost a lot.

But what it makes me happy, is that before I had an HDV FX1 without XLR, and now I have my beautiful Red that will allow me to shoot great projects for a long long time even if then, everyone will want the Epic or Scarlet. And let's face it, how much better images can get the Epic/Scarlet after seeing last RedOne demo at IBC?
 
Awesome, Jeff! Thanks.

Looking at this render, I notice that the bottom grip thingy screws onto the bottom of the brain in a similar fashion to a DSLR grip. One thing I would really urge is to make this connection as SOLID as possible. When I put the grip on my 5D2, for example, the camera becomes wobbly on a good tripod, because the screw-on style of attachment just is not solid enough. There is some play in it. That's fine for hand-held photos, but for video, it can be problematic. I would go for overkill on the sturdiness of that connection.
 
Thanks for grouping the renders,, I was thinking the same thing last night. Much more easy.
 
These images of the Scarlet and Epic are exactly as the thread title suggests; "incredible".

Someone earlier made a reference to the old TV show "That's Incredible" which is funny, ever since I saw this thread all I have been able to think about is the Ford Motor Co. campaign from 1979 that featured a tune with the lyrics:

"If you could see tomorrow, the way it looks to us today, you'd say incredible. Ford, that's incredible. Ford, that's incredible"

Replace "Ford" with "RED" and that's the most appropriate application of that jingle in 30 years.

But you wouldn't need the handheld grip if it were attached to a tripod. You could just use the wireless redmote... right?
 
I just told my wife to give me $10,000 for the RED -> epic-x trade in. She said, "What do you want me to do, sh*t it out?"

So my question... will there be a timeframe in which I can pay for the upgrade, or do I just get notified and have a 3 days to decide before my epic-x goes to someone else and I never have the chance to own one again?

I have no idea. I assume the grips are there to provide power without battery blocks? This would be ideal for nature shooting in the mountains, for example. But if the grip is attached insecurely to the body, you will have problems. That type of screw-on attachment for grips was designed for stills shooting, mainly handheld. As anyone who has used the 5D2 for video with a grip knows, adding a grip to a video DSLR makes the whole platform unstable when mounted on a tripod, or anything else. My only point was to make sure that attachment is as solid and robust as possible on DSMC.
