There are rumors floating it will be around $36k to buy the body.

Hi guys. I had the pleasure of being the first person in the world to fly this camera back in November. At that time it was still in early alpha testing but we all knew the moment we saw the output that this would be a huge deal. The holy grail has been to match Alexa based footage from the ground and now we can do so with this beautiful little camera head.

A big thanks to the guys at ARRI, Brad, Hugh, Tabb at Freefly and Casey and Danielle at Mindcastle for the opportunity!

I heard they are announcing price at NAB, but 36 would be within reason for this hardware.

what was the weight of the camera with the lens and battery?

 

[seattle_helo]

Thanks guys!

Bart, the one on the balloon shoot was an early hardware revision and I'm guessing that the weight has changed. That said, the camera package was just north of 7 pounds with an IDX Endura battery pack and Zeiss prime. I recorded the exact weight somewhere- need to find that.

I read about this earlier and it was listed in specs as body only at 5lbs.

Also someone was guessing 30k body only.

Beautiful work guys!

I'm going to sell a liver, a kidney and mortgage my wife. That baby will be mine! Strap a wireless follow focus on it and start making $$$$$$

I have never been excited more than this when a camera released.

Our productions will go to another level.

Now, we are waiting for the details of Red Weapon, and announcements from Canon, Black Magic, Sony at NAB. Pretty exciting.
