Menu knob lost during shoot. Replacement available?

[omar robles]

I rented out my mx and the knob was lost during the shoot. It came off while they were shooting and put it in in a bad and it was replaced. Is there a replacement available? Do i need to take it in to red?

i think these are one of the easy fixes that red will allow to do yourself. Contact your rep and see if they can send a replacement part.

I've seen people replace it with a simple off the shelf knob - as long as the knob is small enough not to hit the body, and has a long enough grub screw and hole small enough not to be too off centre.

But contact your Bomb Squad rep - I'm sure they will be able to help you.

Hi,

I had a similar problem and contacted the Bomb Squad, they charged €63 for the joystick knob and the shipping to Ireland from UK.
I also bought this:

Which is remarkably good!

Have a good day.

Best.

That is a very common problem with the RED One. We had ours replaced by RED when they did other repairs (the audio board back in 2008). Thankfully, it hasn't happened again.
