thats an interesting point. It's good to have more as many out there as possible. One of my greatest conundrums is being too early with helium sensor and clients are just getting used to Dragon and know that...

They will be more fearful of its 8K workflow. And a "let's just go with what are used to" mindset. You can be too early with something, but the prores proxies shooting does alleviate some of the workflow fears.

so the more Epic-w/Helium becomes mainstream and like the FS7 the more we all will benefit.

I think most will not exactly want 8K per se, but once the Helium capabilities gets out there (low light etc), there will be people looking to rent it. Surprisingly I already got a job where they asked us for 8K finished projects, but I'm sure it was the exception as it was Intel and they probably need 8K for something (NDA). So I'm only really upgrading my Scarlet-W now because the upgrade is literally paying itself by rentals for this job :)

Few more hours till the announce!

They will be more fearful of a new 8K workflow. And have a "let's just go with what are used to" attitude. I know You can be too early with something, but the prores proxies shooting does alleviate some of the workflow fears.

Good points. And like with the FS7, it's easy to quickly assemble a multi-camera shoot because of all the owner-ops. Post loves when you use all the same cameras. Plus, it makes it nice for borrowing accessories and stuff.

Weapon-CF owners how much they have to pay for 8K Helium upgrade?

+1, if somebody has an answer!

For current CF owners who will get the loaner Helium sensor, I think Jarred or Brent said we could just keep the Helium sensor if we so choose. That suggests the Helium sensor for the CF WEAPONs will be an additional $10k.
 
That is THE only thing I've been wanting to know for the past several weeks.....(info about the drunken financing plan).

Same here. It must be pretty drunken, considering how close they're playing that one to the chest. Kinda makes it difficult though - on one hand have to make a snap decision on the purchase and on the other want to figure out financing! Gah!

I know, and I honestly really don't mean to sound like an ungrateful asshole because this sounds like an awesome thing RED didn't need to do and have gone out of their way (and maybe took a loss?) on just to help out us Scarlet-W guys. Whew, that said, I have very low interest lines of credit already available to me, so if there is an interest rate component to this payment plan I may choose not to partake in it. But everyone's situation is different, so that situation could still work out for a ton of people. I guess we'll find out details in a few hours!

1,000,000%. But no matter how bad I want(ed) to know this, I'm not complaining. Technically we shouldn't even know that there is an Epic W being realeased today, or any details about the camera, if this were any other company. It'd be released, the world learns at the same time, you buy it full price, and with no drunken financing. :)

So, I wish, I dream, I wait....

There is an interest rate tied to it.

And it's zero.
 
...sexsy.
 
Jarred, not sure if it has been answered here, but is there an opportunity for us to put the Helium sensor into our Mg bodies down the line if we can't go this route for Epic-W or Helium 8K right now?
