Almost everything... except the baseplate and top mount. What were you think about?

the baseplate from the production bundle or the 19mm/15 mm (ET) baseplate?

Wasnt there something like a cheeseplate so we can attach our ET baseplates to epic (sorry if i did understand it wrong)
 
In the case of a Stage II/III Epic-X, how will we be able to mount the body when it first arrives and how will we be able to use rails? Will we be able to purchase mounting accessories to coincide with Stages II and III or am I confused and we'll be able to mount a Stage II/III Epic-X right out of the box so to speak?
 
Right, what I'm not clear on is how the Epic physically attaches to a baseplate. With the RED (and all other cameras up to now) things attach directly to the body, but the concept of a 'body' is very different in the case of Epic. Is it the brain that would mount on a tripod or one of the other modules?

How everything fits together is still a bit of a mystery to me - have there been any specific threads on this or photos of the way various Epic parts fit together? Are there screws and holes? It's all very exciting but having never seen one in the flesh it's hard to get a feel for how all the pieces fit together.

Just to clarify once more, we will need to buy a baseplate separately if we want to use rails with a Stage II Epic-X - is that correct?

You could the Arri 15mm Base for that purpose.

Does that mean you could use the Red One LCD & EVF?!

If you look at the two cameras, it is obvious that the lens mounts are different. I guess lens mounts fall into the "almost everything" category.

Maybe someone should make a list of what DOESN'T work between the systems and then we can get past this.
