STAGE FIVE: R1 to M-X upgrade only

[Sanjin Jukic]

Stage five: R1 to M-X upgrade only.

Let's say I'm a pirate (voided R1 warranty installing unsupported lens mount...)

that means I do not fit at all in the first three STAGES

because of the status that made eligible to trade my R1 in on an Epic system.

So I can see my chance that is to get in the STAGE FOUR but later when this is available.

Now I would like to ask for the STAGE FIVE that means mostly as a fast and easy upgrade of R1 to M-X sensor for $4500.

Do I have chance to get in that stage (because I voided R1 warranty)?

When this option (or stage) will be available?

Dear Sanjin,

You are indeed a pirate. We respect that. We admire you for that.

No stages for you at all.

Sorry.

Dear Medavoym,

first, we need here a real name policy...

Second, my questions were not addressed to you that means your answer is still not valid till somebody officially from RED confirm the same.

Btw, dear Medavoym, let you know I'm pretty good and loyal RED customer that already spent in RED store almost $50000

or $49614 by my last calculation but actually they should know even better what's the exact figure...

So, to repeat again I would like to drop $4500 there and get M-X on RED1 #694.

Hi Sanjin,

Did you buy any RED lense? without I can't understand how you have spent so much at RED for 1? camera.

Sanjin

Why is option 2 not available to you..?

Keep your modified red (your definitely in the Red hardcore) and get a Epic as well with a great price incentive?

There is lots of ways to spend money with Red not including lenses. IF he's bought 3 red rams, 1 rocket, Evf, 7" monitor and a sensible amount of batteries he would be close to that figure easily..

We know definitely Sanjin purchased a Rocket. 5k right there.

Hi,

I'm back now.

first I do not want to make now any pressure to RED that give to me M-X sensor upgrade

if this case at the moment do not cover their policy in terms of (temporary) business rules just because my R1 anyway voided warranty.

Would be nice even if I would get it later (but for sure) after all those four stages were initiated.

And I would like to know it ASAP.

It's important to know that (even if I'm "recognized" here as a bloody "pirate", "arrogant" and "impolite") have my strong commitment

("spiritually" as a RED User and financially like a good RED customer) to RED project was working or not for me.



Btw, if you would like to know I do have purchased from RED store the following items:


RED ONE Body, RED EVF+2x cables, 4xCF cards, RED Drive 320GB, RED Drive 640GB (still in back order), eSata cables 2x, 1x LCD 5.6",

LCD cables 2x, Base production pack, 2xPower Pack(2xcharges, 4xbatteries)+cables, RED battery belt plate,

RED Quick plate (now old), AC adapter, ET/RED Arri base 15mm (now old),

15mm adaptor, RED quick plate, RED top mount 2x, BNC to DIN 3x, Universal mount, Handle mount, Focus Hook, Body cap,

Lens rear cap 3x, RED Rocket™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™ card, RED Camera Pelican Case, some of RED T-shirts and stickers,

and plus paid $2500 for RED Repair Fee that was free for others (CF module, i/pins, etc,... inner body cleaning included...).

Maybe something little is missing here but that is more or less all...

The only way I can possibly see Red rejecting your camera is if you decided to swap for an Epic and pay the difference.

But that's just me...

those $2500 should have flooded like hell.. seems not

keep going man.. nice to read you

 

[Zakaree Sandberg]

I see no reason why you wouldnt be able to upgrade your sensor..

 

[Eirik Tyrihjel]

Sanjin,

Why not do as Michael suggests and go with stage 2, you keep your RED and get 8500$ off, then your RED will be marked as executed at RED without them even taking it in. (and technically it is not a trade-in, as you keep your RED).

Eirik,

simply by the rules (see above) I do not fit in to the stage two.

Also I can somehow fit into the stage four anyway... but in that's case I'm like all other brand new EPIC purchasers,

maybe have in this case a bit better position because I can use some of R1 accessories, CF cards, RED Drives, LCD, EVF, batteries,...

sanjin supported red to death we know, i hope he will get "gnade vor recht"

I think you do; the text talks about trading in, i.e. returning your R1 body to Red, for them to do with as they wish.

Under option 2, you are not trading in your Red body, rather keeping it for yourself. I suspect that a lot of Red 1s end up being used as 'projects' by those opting for Stage One or Two.

Anyway, I asked the question on the main feedback thread.

I'm sure they will clear details about the cases like a mine soon before deadline...

 

[Tico Llaurador]

Sanjin, methinks Stage 2 is where it's at for you. Hope you get the email from the Bomb Squad for it. Your R1 is still a RED, IMS mount or not.

Mr. Land? Any comments?

 

[Thom Steinhoff]

I, too, would think you qualify for stage 2. You are an original owner and you are not trading it in and don't need to send it in.

Of course, if you are just after the upgrade then it doesn't matter if you qualify for stage 2 or not.

 

[David Battistella]

I see no reason why you wouldnt be able to upgrade your sensor..

I do.

Who is supposed to re-install the IMS mount that was custom installed by the folks @ PS teknic and voided the warranty?

I think that Sanjin would have to get the mount the R1 shipped with on the camera and then "maybe" he could ask RED to make an exception.

I'm not sure they will as they were pretty specific on this and made a clear example of Sanjin when he installed the mount. They let it be known that IMS was not going to be an option for R1 owners (and interestingly have offered their own take on interchanable mounts with EPIC)

I also think that the better route would be to send a letter to Jarred and ask them if they might consider that you made a mistake and maybe they could let you in on the upgrade program.

I do not think that the public forums is the correct place to build support for this idea.

I think that Sanjin has been a fantastic contributor to this forum and that he is indeed a supporter of and investor in RED.

In the end there is a right way to approach this and I am not sure this thread is the right way.
