Oh shit, it really says we've paid $138,000. I'm so fucked
I'm crying, we are gonna be poor. oh fuck oh fuck
And then he drops it
This shit pissed me off and I didn't even pay for that stupid thing. Half of their business practices should be fucking illegal

The reason they do it is because how many people are actually gonna buy their stuff? Not very many. If they're gonna stay in business they need to charge an arm and a leg. The people who need their equipment can afford it.

More like the ignorant rich kids who want the most expensive thing can afford it.

Or Movie studios.

Movie studios could get better deals for what it provides.
Seems incredibly unnecessary tbh. 1080p is more than enough for a general youtube video.

Higher resolutions make green screen work much cleaner, among other production benefits besides simple playback resolution.
If you ask me, the cream of the crop are the 200 dollar cable that looks maybe a foot and a half long and the 150 dollar arm.
I mean, the rest is exorbitant enough as it is but those two are at the highest echelon of fucking disgusting.

$130k cleaner?

An argument could be made that if they sold the bloody thing for what's it's actually worth there might be more demand for it, making up for the losses.

no one who actually needs this would be stupid enough to pay for it
literally made to market to rich kids

You could pay interns to do cleanup for [B]4 years[/B] and still not spend more than this fucking thing.
The saliva flying out of linus' mouth; priceless.
it's funny how much linus hates the thing
if he didn't run a tech channel he probably would have returned it immediately
there's should be a 30K camera with all of bells and whistles included for the same performance and quality product. That can also it at 16k what red does at 8k.
[QUOTE=J!NX;52177983]And then he drops it[/QUOTE]
linus is never careful with anything. always treats his stuff like crap
I bet it's not even bulletproof
[QUOTE=Scot;52178062]How the fuck did Marques Brownlee afford all his RED shit?[/QUOTE]
i think you can rent/lease these also
thats fucking retarded.
You can buy great cameras for the price of some of those accessories.
guys these cameras aren't meant for rich kids youtube videos, they're literally the super high def digital cameras used to shoot real fucking movies
typically they're bought by an equipment house who rent them to film productions; ie the companies with millions of dollars to actually pay for them
[QUOTE=redBadger;52178251]linus is never careful with anything. always treats his stuff like crap[/QUOTE]
It was not always like this. You can see in his recent videos he intentionally handles hardware carelessly just to entertain the audience with the thought that he might drop it. The channel is becoming more a show than a tech channel with useful info and reviews.

For example the just released Guardians Of Galaxy 2 was filmed with it:

Don't they realize that more reasonably priced 8K recording solutions might pop up in the time it takes for 8K viewing to become commonplace?
Because that seems a ways off since 4K isn't even there yet.

I guess guardians of the galaxy 2, transformers 5, the martian, and the hobbit 3 are movies filmed by "rich kids"

As someone who works in production, no, it's not made to market rich kids. During shoots we typically rent out cinema cameras and other equipment that we need for the shoot. The quality and footage we get is worth our rental cost. This is the market RED markets to, digital cinematography with companies, rental houses, and film production crews.

That being said, and it's been brought up before: many film studios tend to [b]rent[/b] these cameras out, as opposed to own them outright.
Would you (or anyone else) happen to know what the price difference between renting them for a filming stint, and purchasing one of these cameras outright, is?
I'm wondering how long it'll take before Linus et all are able to justify purchasing these cameras outright, as opposed to renting them.
Man, I'd feel so nervous just holding that thing in case I broke it.
