    I'll just try to collect all these questions about the Scarlet here, because it is kind of difficult to filter them out of the according feedback thread:

    1.) Where does the battery go on the Fixed Scarlet pack?

    Jarred said, that they didn't decide what powering option they are going to include in the Fixed package. If I understood it right, there might be more powering modules in the future that were not talked about yet.

    2.) What is the focal length of the 8x fixed lens?

    We know the speed is going to be T2.6


    3.) When will there be new information about the S35?
    4.) When will you announce feature 21?
    5.) What are the details for the mini-prime lenses (diameter, internal focussing)?
    6.) Why is the Fixed brain longer than the Interchangable brain?

    Answered below: The fixed lens needs more depth because of the lens.



    7.) Will there be a specific order for the shipping of the individual Scarlets (Will anybody have a first call...)?
    8.) When do you think you will be able to deliver them without backorder?
    9.) Is there a recommendation for mounting an external mic?
    10.) Will there be a package with a RedMote Pro instead of a normal RedMote?
    11.) Is there going to be an anamorphic mode for the S35?
    12.) What will be the estimated recording time on a 16GB CF-Card?
    13.) Will 120fps recording be possible with the side-CF-module?

    I little bit of reading between the lines has to been done here, so I might not be right. Jarred said that the CF-Cards won't do REDCODE 100 and that REDCODE 100 would be "useful" for overcranking. So it might be the case that to achieve full overcranking you would need the SSD module. Has to verified though.

    14.) When will people have the opportunity to put down a deposit for the Scarlet (especially important for the Aussies among us)?
    15.) What is the weight of the different modules and lenses, accessories?
    ... (I'll look out for more)

    You can add weight to the list, both of the fixed brain & lens, all the components in the fixed kit, and all the option modules....and the non-fixed brain.

    Some things I've read over the past few months that could help.

    2: In FF equivalent it's a 28-?? Someone from RED posted it a while ago, but I can't find where.

    6: The fixed scarlet has more internal parts for the lens, thats why its longer, see pic here - http://redgrabs.com/8sx.jpg

    9: Last month someone from RED said they would be producing a low profile mic mic to fit on the front of the scarlet. No specifics.

    14: Towards the beginning of the new EPIC/Scarlet news a while back, Jim said there would be plenty to go around at release and no deposits.... of course everything is subject to change ;)

    If I'm buying the Fixed Scarlet package, can I trade up to the BOMB EVF and not take the $800.00 from the 2.8" LCD and put it towards the BOMB EVF?

    Does the Fixed Scarlet need a touchscreen LCD to work? Or can you set everything from the REDmote?

    [The LCD is useless to me shooting outside in the middle of the desert in the daytime.]

    Also: What is the cost of an extra REDVOLT battery?

    Jarred did answer some of the questions by now :)

    Since the fixed scarlet kit is damn cheap anyway(the battery and the lens are "worth" ~150$ if you count in all the other things in the kit) then I'd be guessing NO since you can't take the prices in the kit literally(since we all know that the lens and the battery are actually worth times more than 150$)

    I was thinking the same. If you don't need something, can I just replace it with another product.

    Also with the CF card. I don't want to record on that, but the RED -Drive. So, I don't need it.

    Big question that remains unanswered:

    What about Stills?

    This Scarlet modular system was supposed to be the ultimate hybrid format, but all the buzz so far has all been around motion picture capture. There is absolutely no stills information in this release, of even the most basic kind. For example: How many megapixels in size are Scarlet still images? Is it just a 3k native sensor that will deliver 3MP images?

    Photographers were awaiting this announcement with some interest but the announcement had no information for us, whatsoever. Red abanondonned the 3K for $3k mantra, have they also abandonned the hybrid stills shooting concept?
