Ok, ASSUMING, all the accessories will work with Scarlet & ASSUMING there will be interchangeable lenses, here’s what my Scarlet buy would look like:



Scarlet 3000
Red Pro Monitor (7in) 2500
LCD Cable 180
Red Arm-9in (to mount LCD) 150
EVF 2950
EVF Cable 180
Power Pack 1400
Base Production Pack 1250
Shoulder Dovetail 550
(8) 8GB Compact Flash 1592
B4 to PL adapter 3500
Matte Box 750ish
Total: $18002

well over the $8-10K I was hoping for & that still doesn’t include the 2/3in ENG style zoom lens I would want to use.
 
You don't need half that stuff. A 7" monitor and an EVF? This isn't a red one...
 
I doubt that many are going to go with a complex setup even close to that unless they already own the accessories because they have a Red One. Seems to defeat the idea of light and portable.

Most of the work I do is ENG/EFP & I need something that can be rested on the shoulder (hence the EVF) but can also be slapped on some sticks & shoot loooong stuff (hence the need for the LCD, after all, who wants to hunch over squinting into a viewfinder for 30+ minutes? A flip out monitor would be fine & save a chunk of $$)

I’ve been looking at the Red for a long time & I’ve been reading a lot of complaints about how cumbersome, uncomfortable, & top heavy it is when shoulder mounted.

I didn’t say this was the solution for everybody, but this setup would give me the flexibility I need.

Haha what? You're quoting lens adapters? LCD's and EVF's? Dude.

I'm thinking more like 5k if the rumored price of 3k is real.
 
I agree... i bet REd will be coming out with acc. just for the Scarlet....

i don't expect to be shipping out more than 5k for one

"Dude" you got a problem with the type of camera needs that I have?

Read the original post & pay particular attention to the "ASSUMING" parts.

The above gives me the camera "I" need & can put into use for the work I do without spending $50+K on a RED One.
 
With all that stuff hanging off the cameras, either flavor of Red for that matter, I don’t think they are well suited for ENG/EFP stuff. Maybe I am wrong. The Scarlet may be lighter but all those accessories attached to it may make it tough to use handheld. Then again, everybody that might want to buy it will have to find out by themselves if it works or not for them when it comes out, NEXT YEAR.

It really is out of line to be laughing at another's personal thoughts on their personal purchase.

He did not say the $18K was going to be what everyone would have to spend.

Also, was it just me or did I see "ASSUMING" in Capital letters showing emphasis.

Most will only spend 5 Grand, maybe less, but there will be others who want to spend $18 Grand.

With the whole "interchangeable lenses", there has been talk of making a petition to Jim, and asking for a model of Scarlet that has interchangeable lenses. As there was only a prototype shown today, anything can change in a year.
 
The most expensive part will be needing to buy two. By the time Scarlet comes out, the back-orders will be insane, if you are lucky enough to get one, you'll probably never be able to find one for rent (lower rental, much broader demand, fewer rental houses will carry). At least with Red One, within another 6 months or so, if your gear goes out, you'll be able to rent a replacement in most markets really quickly. I wouldn't even think of ordering Scarlet without ordering two.

Just my "two" cents...

-shooter
 
Scarlet ~$3000
LCD 5.6 inch(!!) - $1700
Mattebox - ~$800
4 x CF Cards - 796
Handles etc. - $500 + $175 + $500

~$7,500
All together ~

Thanks Joseph,

You’d think with 70+ posts, the guy would have a little etiquette
 
Hey Capainscarlet,

These guys might have alot of posts, but most have so much post, not cause they're knowledgeable, but because they're quick to write without thinking.

18K is not outrages. If you go to the Dvx forum, there's a couple of guys there that spent around 15 thousand for a complete HVX kit.

Don't listen to these guys, just do your thing

Thanks,

And I really hope to be doing my thing with Scarlet!
 
3,000? For a 3k camera? Come on, isn't that just a bit low? 8-10 grand sounds more likely and still affordable. But 3 grand? I paid more for my 8 core than that.
