  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Upgrade price increase

Hi, I got an email from RED UK couple weeks ago and requested that I be put in touch with RED USA as I upgraded my Scarlet to Epic there, and will continue with the Dragon upgrade in the USA. However, so far, I have not received any email from RED bomb squad USA... I've been chasing for two weeks on this matter as I know the price will go up, and it does not help that no one has gotten back to me...
 
Joan,

I will look into this and have a rep contact you.

Thanks for pointing this out - I hadn't realised. I had imagined that there would be some sort of price drop in the future as the life and value of Dragon starts to drop off, but I guess the increase is designed to encourage people to jump in.
 
I'm wondering if the prices of the scarlet dragons and epic dragons (as new) will increase too. Or that would mean that the scarlet dragon brain is 14500, the upgrade is 12500, just 2000 difference.

I was wondering if perhaps Scarlet/Epic MX brains may drop...

That is one scenario, especially as we see the OLPF's sorting out. The value of Dragon may go up, for a time. I and others have observed, without solicitation, that the "new" BT Dragon M that I recently purchased, has an overall better image/color, out of the camera than the Dragon, from 9 months ago-even with pre 5.2.28 firmware.

There several scenarios, to construct for price points and dynamics. Pretty much the only one I don't see as realistic is a Group Buy... But I would be happy to host one...

Thank you very much

If that' true (the improvement), that's a bit scary. There is only 2 monthes left for the 9500 upgrade. Issues are slowly sorted out. I don't want a camera that is still in development and maybe secretly improved 3 monthes after i bought mine.

The BT Dragons must be a few months old at least? What is the serial number of your first dragon and the BT you got?

Seems odd that there is a quality difference.
 
Well thats a scary thought, I hope they are all the same...

Maybe I misled you all. For sure, my Carbon Fiber SN 00041,purchased Dec 2013. So, What I was primarily referring to was the color science changes, OLPF's, etc., as known changes, since my first carbon fiber was purchased. Nine months SHOULD give us better images. Both my cameras are out on jobs now, and any copy variation between Carbon Fiber and BTM, which we expect give identical images, will have to wait.

Tank you very much

I wish I knew when Epic X Dragons were going on sale AND if the price on Dragon cameras is going up or not starting December 1st....Buehler..? :)
