Burlwood and the Carbon Forged look pretty insane together. Cowboys and Aliens.

My father turns on the lathe almost exclusively burls due to their unique qualities. No two are alike. Love that.


RED USB C Mini Mag Reader starts shipping October 27th.

Um yeah. I'll take 2-4 of those for sure. Because life on the road is:




that for me lately :)

Also, bigger cards please! Well, I can live with the 1TBs for sure. Just hard finding places to land to swap media sometimes!
 
Please note that Rachel was used for relative size comparison purposes only.

That is awesome.

Jarred. I think we'd all purchase those shirts if you put them on the store.
 
Much smaller, almost half the size. And it works at USB 3.1 speeds and includes a "normal" USB 3.1 to USB 3.0 cable as well to work with your older hardware.

Where can I order one of these if they ship the 27th?
 
is GDU part of red?

GDU ( Global Dynamics United ) is not officially part of RED, It is a little personal skunkworks thing I started with Matt to make one-off things that we wanted for ourselves, and we usually make a few extra pieces along the way for our friends that want them.

We put those extra bits up on GlobalDynamicsUnited.com, and when they sell out, they sell out.

The wood, especially Burl, looks sooo damn sexy, you guys gotta do some more o them. Well, if you ever find the time, seems like a new Red product is being hinted every week, you guys are literally crazy.
 
Don't bet on it. They need power, USB doesn't.

Curious about this. I have a shit ton of LaCie Rugged 4TB RAIDs. They work on TB without external power, but if i want to run them on USB 3.0, I have to power them. Why would the RED MiniMag Reader be any different? Because the cards are SSDs?

I would assume so, SSD's need less voltage.
 
WOW!!! Been reading for hours for multiple days just to get caught up here. After at least 4 hours last night I thought this thread was infinite. I was excited to reach the end tonight. It's a pretty exciting thread to be sure. This is my first post and so hopefully I don't screw it up. ;) I've been wanting to own a Red for a long time, ever since Red One and just a couple of weeks ago I put down a deposit on a Red Weapon MG pkg [prior to starting reading this thread]. My vendor and the Red rep told me to get my order in but an announcement was forthcoming that I may want to pay attention to. This is why I went to reduser to see if I could find out any info. Boy was I in for an awakening - 415 pages later!

Anyways, here's a couple of questions since I haven't read any posts with someone in my exact position...

I already placed an order w/ deposit through a vendor for a complete Red Weapon MG pkg, which was before Oct. 11th. I'm assuming that there is no way to still get the Weapon MG, is that correct? If not, do I need to do anything else prior to Oct. 11th? Or on Oct. 11th do I just need to tell my vendor that I would like the Epic-W instead? As far as I can tell the brain price on the Weapon MG is the same as the Epic-W so there would be no price difference on my purchase correct? I do not need to keep hitting the refresh button on the red store and re-order a new package since I already have an order in with a vendor, correct? Jarred said there would still be a Weapon Dragon 6K in the line, just not the MG one I guess. Does that mean it's only the CF ones forged and woven? And the woven is $20K higher than MG?

Humbly asking these questions as I'm new participating in the forums. I'm really excited to finally be a part of the Red family. It's been a long time coming. Thanks in advance for any help!

Best Regards,
Jim

Welcome Jim! I don't exactly know about still being able to get a MG right now, possibly if you preordered it before they took it off their site?? If you want to just go with Epic-W tho, then it seems like your cheapest best route would be to switch your MG order and deposit over to a S-W deposit now, then place your upgrade to Epic-W after the 11th, this S-W discount opportunity is once in a blue moon. To be crystal clear I would reach out to a Red rep to be sure tho.

Welcome to the family, Jim!

I'm a new RED owner myself... but there are so many awesome people in the fold who have years of experience working with the RED ecosystem everyday! I've definitely spent hours perusing these forums here... there is so much good information. I have learned so much just from searching, reading, and asking questions. Such an awesome family!
 
Don't want to sound like a Henny Penny, but what happens if the big one hits.

The Salton Sea swarms seem to have stopped, but in the event that a big quake hits, what are the plans RED has in place to continue business?
