STAGE FIVE: R1 to M-X upgrade only

[Sanjin Jukic]

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.

David,

thanks a lot and I will take your suggestion seriously in my consideration.

Sanjin I remember you went to P+S quiet a while ago.....didnt you ?

Funny thing is there are quite a few cameras with the IMS mount on, just not everybody advertises the fact from their balcony, every couple of days!

Thanks Kreisky,

when I went there I had a big hope for all of us to get interchangeable mount option for R1 but unfortunately didn't work.

Just to remind us now on my sort of a "R1 pirate developer" step at the end of March 2008:

IMS on SI-2K Mini shot on R1 at the P+S Technik Headquarters Ottobrunn/Munchen at the end of March 2008.

Watch a short docu movie shot on R1 about that>>>

It's a very well made mount, shame about the culture clash.

Yeah, it's a good alternative mount option for everybody pro or amateur RED1 user, but I can't "advertise" it any more here because already costs me a lot...

BTW, one of my favorite English (punk) rock band is CLASH.

 

[Andrew Thomas]

I guess maybe it is the language difference, but trade-in to me means to send in your camera to RED in exchange for the discount on the Epic(-X in stage 4, S35 in stage 4). If you used stage 2, you aren't trading in anything.

Probably best to call into RED and ask them.

 

[Ryan Manes]

The whole upgrade program, whether you send your camera in or not, was designed as a thank you and reward for those of us that struggled through the early days of Red development and supported them.

Anyone who hasn't been under a rock for the last three years can clearly see that Sanjin is one of Reds most fervent supporters, emotionally and financially.

Regardless of warranty red tape he is clearly a supporter and should be treated like the rest of us early adopters.

 

[David Battistella]

Good point Ryan.

Guys,

thanks for your kind support.

I'm always with you and all other RED Users.

Cheers

Sanjin for RED fanclub president!

Good luck, and I hope it all works out fine for you!

Thanks Gunleik for your support.

Hopefully at the end I will make it.

Also I wish best for you and your work.

[Andrae Palmer]

Same here Sanjin... good luck. I think you definitely deserve to be in Stage Two. You are not sending in your camera so what difference does it make if the warranty is voided. You are one of the most active users on here and a major RED supporter... if you don't deserve a $8500 credit then no one does.

Andrae,

thanks for your support.

It's good to have you here in this tread.

As we both know well that RED is too busy now and I'm sure later everything will be fine.

All the best

Sanjin,

although I can only speak for myself, I think we all have learned a great deal from you, through your tireless search for accessories, gadgets and workflows and your tests. It takes a true afficionado like you to pull this through!
If there ever was anybody outside the mainstream movie industry to deserve extra credit from RED, it would be you.
:cheers2::001_smile::cheers2::cheers2:

I can't really say it any better than Ryan already has, so hear, hear!!

Add my voice to those saying Sanjin deserves to get at least the Stage 2 option, if not preferential option to be among the first to upgrade to the Red One M-X sensor (since he has no other option if Red refuses to allow one of the other stages).

Best of luck with it Sanjin!

Paul,

thank you for your support.

If I can't get at the stages 1,2 and 3 then I should be a partly "pardoned" and then get at least R1 to M-X upgrade

as an early reservation holder, big RED supporter and very strong RED defender here.

The "only" punishment could be that I'm at the stage 4 anyway.

But let not push so much buttons at RED because of me and my case in this busy moment.

With a great hope that maybe at the end everything will be fine.
