Weight questions and Mini mag module trade in ?

[Jon Nash]

Iv'e a few questions to ask which would be great in helping me decide if I go for an upgrade within the short NAB offer period.

1) Whats the weight of the CF Weapon

2) Whats the weight of the MG Weapon

Brain only will work. But if anyone wants to build one into a basic skydive configuration and let me know then I'd be stoked :-
Brain, sidekick , base expander, XL module, XL battery, lens mount.

3) Im almost ready to pay the deposit but I'd need to know I can fly this thing and keep battery's attached whilst plummeting to earth at 150MPH- The ET side handle would be what I need I guess so if anyone is prepared to give me rough specs on its weight I'd also be very grateful.

4)I was about to buy a mini SSD module for my Dragon. If I buy it now it will only be required temporarily until Weapon ships in Summer and i thought i read somewhere that there is some sort of trade in value for the module . If not I'll stay with my 1.8" until my weapon ships if I pull the trigger ;-)

Thanks in advance from Nashy in the UK who was unable to make NAB this year.

1 & 2:

Magnesium Weapon and the Carbon Weapon brains are both about 3.5 pounds with the SSD media bay, vs 4.5 pounds for the Epic Dragon with side SSD.

Asked the same question around (4) without a response.. we already executed an upgrade to the MiniMag side SSD module + media. Whilst obviously we can use the MiniMag media, there's no apparent upgrade benefit to us having the MiniMag Side module versus those on legacy 1.8" also upgrading...?

Jon - Obviously, you need an official answer from RED, but I do believe the upgrade program does include the upgrade to a new SSD mini-mag module when you do your Weapon upgrade.

On another note, as you may know, soon you will be able to trade any 1.8 SSD mag , 64GB or larger, to RED for a $950 credit against 512GB mini-mags. If you happen so have some 1.8 SSDs larger than 64 that you would be willing to trade for my 64s - for which you can still get the same credit - please let me know. I could afford to pay a modest premium to make it worth your while and would, of course, cover all shipping charges.

Thanks.

Yup no trade in value for a mini SSD module is the official word from my very helpful rep and yes to the the trade in for RED mags against a new 512 mag when you purchase one at full price. - Thanks RED above and beyond as usual.
