EPIC-X STAGE 3 and 3.5 Now Begins...

Steve, hope you're right on your hunch! :) . Having it in January would enable me to shoot some pretty amazing things over here- Great test footage (Chinese New Year). Wishing us both good luck on this!

Same to you Sergio.

I'll go one better and hunch that we'll be able to place orders before Christmas. Unless Jarred wants to chime in and correct me :)

That would surely be a nice christmas present! :)

Well I only base that on I am not sure what RED are working between Christmas and New Year, so I would guess that Stage 4 orders before Christmas with shipping starting around mid-January.

But only a guess :))

I'm on stage 3, RedOne shipped early 2008, got both mails, send them payment details. That's about a fortnight ago. Until christmas we've got 16 working days left, including this monday.

I doubt very much that Red will be able to collect my old RedOne, evaluate it, send an invoice and ship the Epic-X until christmas.

There are very good things to say about Red. But there are of course downsides. One of them is unavoidable delay in almost everything. Knowing that the stages 3 program is a very generous move on Red's side I would never complain.

This said, I predict the arrival of may Epic-X for march 2012 (yes writing the year for predictions in this context is necessary to avoid misunderstandings).

yeah, I don't know how Santa is going to do it this year. We are camera #3033 and I don't expect to see my new baby til the new year, but what a way to start off the year of the Dragon!

According to the Chinese Zodiac, the Year of 2012 is the Year of the Dragon, which begins on January 23, 2012 and ends on February 9, 2013. Hopefully the upgrade to dragon will begin in the Chinese year of the Dragon.

Hi everybody,
I know stage 3 and 3,5 are closed... my RED was eligible for stage 3 but I didn't know about the dec 1st deadline... tomorrow I'll call RED asking what can I do...
Anyway I have a few questions, and I didn't find the answers:

- RED values our "old" R1 $17.500. But it's the same if it's a MX or a NOT-MX?
- Epic-X comes with its accessories (and you need to purchase others for complete the package). And what about "old" R1 accessories? They trade-in ONLY R1 bodies?

Thanks everybody

So listen Gang, I have been working happily with EPICs since December 2010 and yet I don't expect my Stage 3 Epic until after January. I ordered some Angenieux glass and I was told 6 months. Patience is something I try to teach my children as well as myself. RED has no desire to delay manufacture. Au Contraire
