  • 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 :)

Schedule and Machined EPICs...

With as well as Alexa seems to be moving, I can't imagine you guys would have any trouble moving these Epic Model-Ts (Tank) at a price still under a ready to roll Alexa. Kind of surprised to see you doubt the demand, Jim!
 
Jannard + Jarred

While the EPIC arrive please help your clients, we realy need very importants devices for our RED 1 & RED MX - Like EVF, RED PRO LCD, DRIVES, RAMS, TOP MOUNTS, RED STATION CF all this items are more than necesary to make bussines and create images.

As I say before a R1 whit out evf or lcd is like car whitout tires.

Gracias David Torres
 
Jim, will the Machined Epic only have the PL Mount?

The machined bodies will come with the titanium PL mount, but a Canon mount can be purchased separately. The Nikon mount should be ready for the production model.

Exactly my thought. Pretty sure EPIC-M will be supply-constrained. It will be a a valuable collector's item too.
 
Wow, interesting!!!

A few clarifications?
1. So if purchased, this is entirely a separate purchase than my EpicX #27 stage 2 that I have my deposit on? Meaning I could buy an Epic-M in Dec (or Jan) and then also get my EpicX27 in Feb?
2. What modules are available with this? Or is it effectively just brain and a side handle? Will it be SSD or CF? If SSD, will the media be available as well?
3. For someone in my place (<100 #), EpicM sounds like literally just a 30 day advantage (Jan instead of Feb), am I reading that right?

Thanks!!

Hypothetically, if we could make 50 and only had orders from 35 RED ONE owners, that would open the door. I'm not exactly sure how many we can make or how many R1 owners are interested. This is a new thought for all of us.

So 35 orders opens the door? I can think of more than half of that number right off the top of my head! :)
 
So much excellent news today. ...Hand-built Epics, 7.5 second boot time, Epic is ready and production lines being tooled up, firmware essentially done. Wow.

I'm still interested in the machined option, especially since it doesn't count against my other reservations!!! Woohoo!! But I have to wonder about the practicality of it for my needs. I suppose I'll have to mull it over as you guys figure out the details.
 
Forgive my ignorance Jim but could you explain the advantages of a machined brain versus a cast brain? I understand the advantages of machined moving parts but I'm unclear about a simple container if all the important aspects of the brain (boards, etc) are the same. Thanks for your patients.
 
That info on the modules helps a ton for planning. So approx. double the price for machined LCDs, etc. Does that include things like SSD mags? Another big one up in the air is the final price of the SSD side module. Double the price could either be $1,000 or $5,000.

Absolutely understand the premium prices, just running the numbers to see if it makes business sense, and Dec. is awfully close!
 
Okay (if everything goes over good with my CPA, it should) count me in as +1 for an EPIC-M...

How will the machined billet aluminum brain weight differ than regular cast aluminum?
 
I am happy for RED and thankful for RED all at the same time. Thank you. Now that the camera is finished, when can we expect an owners manual or some instructional videos? I'll be getting a Scarlet but I would welcome any chance to grok how to work the DSMC systems. Outside of being able to find my way around my own camera when I get it, I think it would be great if RED started to educate people about how to use this first of a kind camera system. Stills and Motion in one body alternately and/or at the same time is enough to get ones head around, but using a tool that is made for that is completely foreign to every one except, well except RED.

Thanks again.
 
A historical day. Thanks Giving indeed.

Wish I could justify the cost of joining the EPIC M vanguard.
Oh well guess I'll have to settle for a Stage II EPIC X.
Poor me : )

Good thing my wife is a RED fan... I'm thankful she is smiling instead of pulling out a rolling pin.

Man, you can really make us laugh and put a smile on our faces.

You deserve all the best.

Patiently waiting for stage 2 Epic, if I had the cash I would not think twice and get in line for an Epic-M

SSD mags may be more as well, as they will be machined for this first batch. Wait till you see these machined SSD mags...

and Cast Side SSD module for Epic is $1500 production price. Double that for machined.
 
I thought it was established that SSD had become a default part of the brain? Or is that special pricing for these EpicMs?

The Brain is the default part of the Brain. Just like on the Red One, the side recording module has always been extra.. be it CF or SSD.
