  • 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 :)

my EOS "smart" mount...

I would seriously like to go for one of these dumb canon mounts... this is very good news alesniak... kindly count me in. I will be looking forward for the ordering page tomorrow if not today.

Ordering web page will be up tomorrow evening, sorry it is a bit delayed due
to "day job" interference... such is life at the moment.

All sounds great but has RED approved it as not voiding their warranty? :unsure:
 
order page should be up in a few hours, testing some web stuff.

untill we get our real e-commerce site operational, I have setup a quick
paypal checkout thing. making sure it works.

I still have not been back down to red to show the latest greatest.
last I heard from Jared they were busy busy, with the announcements last week.
and I'm going to be in NYC all next week, but want to get down there to present, as soon as everyones schedules allow it...

lately I wish there were 36 hours in a day 24 just isn't enough anymore...

What's the dumb mount delivery schedule look like if it was ordered today? Can I pick it up today instead? Thanks.

Wasn't the dumb mount approved by Red? Or has it changed? Will the dumb mount void warranty at this time until you can get down to Red?
 
Is there a link to the store?
Also, will the "Count Me In" order queue and PM be honoured?
Thanks again Andy!
How soon can you ship to Greece?

Isn't the dumb mount physically the same as the smart mount minus the electronics? In which case it will need final approval just like the latest greatest smart mount design.
 
I thought at one time it was approved. So if the hardware part/design was approved, but only the electronics has been changed, which is what can cause problems with Red, then the hardware would still be approved and therefore the dumb mount wouldn't void warranty (minus the electronics). Anyway, that's my thinking.

That would be Ok except that if the electronics for some reason doesn't get approved and possibly entails a hardware change then you'd be sadly out of luck if you wanted to later upgrade your dumb mount to smart mount. And who but Andy can say whether he has tweaked the mechanical design since RED last looked at it? He is saying he wants to run it by RED again after all.
 
Yeah... maybe it's better to just go with my Nikon mount and wait for the Canon. But maybe Andy has more info about voiding the warranty.

Does anyone know if voiding the warranty is the same as voiding the upgrade?

when you void your warranty.. you lose your upgrade option to an epic.
 
As far as warranty goes, I assume that since the mount fits the exact same
way as the nikon mount, it does not replace the front backfocus mount on RED, so it should all be fine and dandy, but only red can say that for sure.

I would err on the side of caution if you are not comfortable. and wait till I have an official word from RED.
Right now the "dumb mount" option is for people that just want to stick glass on imediately. without controls.
I am going to ship the first batch on friday. (that whole thanksgiving thing tomorrow...)

The smart mount shipment should hopefully begin before christmas. so we're
getting very close.

the site is almost ready, have been dealing with some issues with UPS
account setup at the moment, so working on it....

www.andylesniak.com/red/

once it goes live you should see a "STORE" tab in the top title bar...
so check there.

Again, If you are unsure about warranty issues I would suggest wait a little
bit longer, until I can get together with RED and have some more official news.

also for anyone that wants to make it to the mount demo in NYC next week
on wednesday, PM me for directions.

Just what I figured. Sounds great Andy, thanks.
 
Yeah, that's what I was thinking. It got approval because it wasn't as invasive as the Birger mount. Great.
 
Yes, it was said it was possible. The dumb mount is essentially the smart mount but without the electronics.
 
Andy

Is there only one Smart mount now, or will there still be "Smart Basic" and "Smart Pro"?
 
it is so amazing~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
so cool

is there any detail of the mount's demension.
i am hoping baddly to make that kind of mount for my red
