Red One Sensor Upgrade?

[Eric J. Robertson]

Hi Folks -

I swear I searched the forum for this info, but couldn't find anything.

I'm in the process of buying 13 cameras to build a spherical array for a camera car.

The first two (Red One) bodies that I have bought on ebay are original, non-upgraded sensors.

Does anyone know if the mysterium-x upgrade program still exists? Seems that the extra dynamic range would be a significant benefit.

Thanks in advance!!

Your right about the upgrade to MX being a significant benefit. Not sure about the present upgrade status. Call Red 949-206-7900.
They will help you. Good luck. Sounds like a great idea.

The MX upgrade is still available i believe, it is around $5000-$6000 for the upgrade. as Frank said give the bomb squad a call and they will be happy to help

Just buy a used MX, as it will save you a ton of money versus actually having RED do the upgrades.

This is the coolest-sounding thing I've read today. Pictures, please!

Totally agree, don`t waist your time and money in non upgraded R1, there is a lot of R1MX on sale here in Marketplace and on ebay, you can get a body around $5,000 - $6,000
