Pricing mistake...

[Chris Gearhart]

Oh man. I'm bummed.

Reduce to the max

Hey, that was the title of a film I´ve worked on in Switzerland. Didn´t know it became a proverb....

The LCD (just like the EVF) does come with an integrated digital signal, power and control interface cable, just not the 3 ft or 10 ft length cables which are options. You do not have to pay extra to use the LCD (or the EVF) with the camera.

and if i need to go further with another external monitor, how does it work?

thx

Use HD-SDI

I've just noticed that the Red Arm is no longer included in the LCD package, as well - so the price of the full LCD system has just jumped by, what, $475??

I can't say I'm overly chuffed to see that...

I know someone complained about it coming with the arm when the EVF already had one (since they planned to get both? and use them at different times?) but it looks like Jannard took it to heart without changing the price, which does help explain the pricing error with the batteries...

 

[Dominic Jones]

Hmmm... Well...

IMHO, if you get both you're most likely going to want to mount both - the most likely setup would be EVF for operator, LCD for AC - so I'm not so sure about that logic, although I see what you're saying.

Still not very happy about that, but there you go...

 

[Adrian Correia]

so, is there any other way to mount the LCD without the arm? So the charger price snafu basically balances out for those of us who will get both the EVF and the LCD?

 

[donatello b]

I too plan to buy both and need arms for both ... also if i rent out the LCD or EFV ( one not both) to another RED user i'll need to have a Arm for my Red ...

 

[Gunleik Groven]

err.. not really, if you add those 3 and 10 feet cables, then you're 500$ down @ the moment...

[Adrian Correia]

sorry Gunleik, just thinking if you just want to mount it to the camera....yes the cables do make it a decidedly more robust investment.

One thing to keep in mind...

The Japanese Army- 180,000
Sony employees- 160,000
RED full time employees- 14

We are doing the best we can...

Yes but you also had more than 1500 (?) people who helped with a roundtable like discussion of development ideas I assume have been incorporated in to the camera and who have also spread the word which i also assume kept the process fun, viable, and more known throughout the world. All for an allowance that is considerably cheaper than the more mainstream route companies like Sony would have paid.

The only differences being:

RedOne deveopment process: Open-Interactive-Forum
Sony development process: Top-Secret-Espionage-Proof-System
