Schedule and Machined EPICs...

[Jannard]

Everyone hold off until I post in the next few days about how we will handle this. Quite frankly, I'm surprised at the response.

I get it. I just think that a $3,600.00 128GB and a $6,400.00 256GB 1.8" SSD Drive is going to be a hard sell.

The media won't be sold at a premium... regular price.

Is it safe to assume that a machined chassis will take 5 to 7 days for finish? That's a timescale I'm familiar with. Orders of magnitude aside, would we be looking at a three to six week turnaround?

 

[Peter Matthes]

So I realize you havent officially stated a price, but doing a rough guestimate here on a setup of EpicM would be about this?

EpicM Brain: $45,000
EpicM SSD Module: $3,000
EpicM Side Handle: $1,900
Titanium Mount: $3,000
4x 64gb: $2,000

= $54,900?

The Titanium mount is standard and included in the brain price.

Ah ... Thank you Jim.

Just thinking out loud here... Since the Epic-M program will be extremely limited, there's a lot of people that might be getting their hopes up too high.

Let's say, since Jim threw out 50 as a possible production figure, that they will take orders for Epic-M cameras until they have enough to fill their production quota. If they go in order of customer number (as in delivery date of your RED ONE), I would imagine they start with those at the front of the list and ask them if they are in or out for an Epic-M. Then continue going down the list until the quota is filled.

Therefore, realistically, as RED One #1110 shipped April 2008, do I even need to worry myself about the Epic-M or not?

The machined SSD media would be a lot more than that.

The media is not machined, only the media housing

 

[ericyoung]

...Those would be the options available when the EPIC-M bodies are ready. I might choose to give it another name.
...Jim

Instead of Epic-M (M is already used to designate Mysterium, and in M-X to designate Mysterium-X, which might confuse some production people - ie non-Red savvy folks), can I suggest Epic-HB for Epic - Hand Built? Or possibly simply Epic-H for Epic Handbuilt...

Either that or Epic-KA for Kick Ass! :biggrin:

Yeah I guess it is the best thing to do.. but you asked for Jim, hehe don't

bunch of Cry babies in the back seat here... are we there yet??

I had the same thought.

Invoice before Dec 31 2010

Invoice before Dec 31 2010

Jim or Jarred,

Is there any chance of getting an invoice for a complete Epic system stage 2 (accessories incl) by December 31st? I am just worried that Mr. Tax man is going to take the majority of my saved cash away.

 

[Jarred Land]

not double.. Jim just gave you all a christmas bonus by keeping the price the same

 

[Jared Caldwell]

We don't have the ability to make large quantities of these EPIC-Ms (machined). I wasn't even sure we would sell one. Sounds like there is some interest...

Jim

Jim,

My family owns a tool and die shop that specializes in custom high-precision parts...

If you need another shop to help, I know the number you can call... :}

Regardless, congrats! We have all been waiting so long together for this, and the ride has not been disappointing. Those of us on ScarletUser are going to have some amazing things to look forward to once things start rolling out.

The wait has been long, but it feels like a road trip: It always takes longer than you thought, but you know you are eventually going to get make it to your destination. It's the milestones along the way that have made it worthwhile. Wouldn't trade it. :}

I'm happy to put mine in a Lego housing if need be... just sayin'.

It's not even black Friday yet and prices are dropping left and right! Guess we all need to lineup outside RED at 3 am!

thank to mr. Zak Crosby...

 

[Ketch Rossi]

LOL Jarred!!

 

[Jeff Coatney]

thank to mr. Zak Crosby...

You're killin' me, Dude! LOL!

That is awesome and very generous. :thumbsup:

However ... let me call this one.

There is going to be an OVERWHELMING demand for those 1.8" SSD drives when they hit the store.

Something along the lines of that person being trampled on Black Friday a couple years ago in the doorway of a Wal-Mart.
