my EOS "smart" mount...

[A. Bastaki]

Yeah... maybe it's better to just go with my Nikon mount and wait for the Canon. But maybe Andy has more info about voiding the warranty.

Does anyone know if voiding the warranty is the same as voiding the upgrade?

when you void your warranty.. you lose your upgrade option to an epic.

thanks, akube. better not take a chance. i'll wait and hear what's up.

[Andy Lesniak]

As far as warranty goes, I assume that since the mount fits the exact same
way as the nikon mount, it does not replace the front backfocus mount on RED, so it should all be fine and dandy, but only red can say that for sure.

I would err on the side of caution if you are not comfortable. and wait till I have an official word from RED.
Right now the "dumb mount" option is for people that just want to stick glass on imediately. without controls.
I am going to ship the first batch on friday. (that whole thanksgiving thing tomorrow...)

The smart mount shipment should hopefully begin before christmas. so we're
getting very close.

the site is almost ready, have been dealing with some issues with UPS
account setup at the moment, so working on it....

once it goes live you should see a "STORE" tab in the top title bar...
so check there.

Again, If you are unsure about warranty issues I would suggest wait a little
bit longer, until I can get together with RED and have some more official news.

also for anyone that wants to make it to the mount demo in NYC next week
on wednesday, PM me for directions.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. It got approval because it wasn't as invasive as the Birger mount. Great.

[Valeriu Campan]

If I get the dumb mount now, can I upgrade to the smart pro when it becomes available?

[Jason Ing]

Yes, it was said it was possible. The dumb mount is essentially the smart mount but without the electronics.
