Here's the offer for the PROline T2000 rig
Updated with the final price 21-03-2013
Update #1: prices added for 40-80 and 80+ sold units
Update #2: I asked Luciano at PROline if it would be possible to add special RED cables, so that we can directly connect our RED one or Epic / Scarlet camera to the sled.
Yes we can do the wires, no problem, but I'll need the samples to make exactly the same cables. We also will customize parts and accessories to suit the needs of the majority of red users, creating a red-user special edition...what do you think?
Also 6pin cables which pass on the battery charge information should be possible.
No problem about the center post cable. We can do it. We'll need more info about the configuration for our technician. Can you give us some details?
Update #3: Luciano answered some more questions of reduser members
How much do sled, arm and vest each weight?
The Arm weighs 2kg 800g, the Sled weighs almost 4kg, the Vest is 3kg.
The case, that is shown on the photo, is included, isn't it? Is there also a case or bag for the vest?
The hard case is included, but the vest doesn't fit in the case. The case for the vest is not included and it will be shipped in a regular box. I will do my best to source some sort of bag for carrying and transport purposes. The pricing on the last two estimates [see blog] are extremely close to cost and I would set up an option to additionally purchase the case for $150 dollars.
Is there a tripod included in the package [additional to the mounting plate -> see offer]?
The tripod is not included because the cost of shipping will be more expensive than the cost of the tripod, so it's a better deal for our customers to buy one separate. But we can include an adapter if any of the red users know they will be using Speaker Tripods. These work really well for heavy weights and they are what I prefer to use. When I travel, I buy one for the job and the leave it there so I don't have to pay additional overweight charges.
Did you had a change to look at the special RED cables (2pin to 6pin LEMO)?
Yes, the cables we will provide for Red Cameras, as well as extra cables with Xlr for accessories.
Is it possible to run your own cables through the pole?
Yes, the topstage and the dbox twist of in seconds to pass the cables through the post for hdmi and other cables.
And if a cable breaks, is it user fixable?
Yes, all cables are fixable and exchangeable we can ship the new cables the next day.
How would we go forward with the group buy? Will you open a paypal store with a discount coupon for redusers? Or should I forward you the list of group members?
Regarding the payment process, I can set up a special page in our website with login and password and we can use this as a special purchase page. The special price depends on how many gears you plan to buy [...].
And is shipping included in the price?
Shipping is also not included in the price because shipping prices vary greatly with international shipping. All gears will be available in Los Angeles and shipping from there will be at the buyers expense, although we are happy to arrange the shipping for each customer.
A special invoice like in the Basson offer is included for international buyers.
Okay, I've changed my mind. If we can get even 40+ on this deal, I'd rather have this deal than any other offered... 80+ would be great, but even 40+ is an amazing offer. I think you should start a new thread, specifically for this PROline T2000 on Reduser, and get people to commit firmly to this deal, and see if we can have them make deposits or at least get a list of people who are 100% committed to buying and ready to pull-the-trigger, and not just "interested". We need to get to that 40 number at least, and 80 if possible, as soon as possible. Otherwise, people will lose interest, forget, or make other choices. We won't get a better offer than this!
ReplyDeletewow that's pretty sweet with 1-45 pounds, seems like a real solid rig and an amazing rebate, agreeing with CareyLee, I've changed my mind about the others as well.
ReplyDeleteIf its possible to hit the top two tier offers, this is a no-brainer. I think theres also a stronger case for a company offering an existing product in the group buy as opposed to a "similar" version, as we can't be certain of what were getting. They can test this actual unit. Pending positive feedback, I'd find the extra scratch to make this work. Continued thanks to you, David.
ReplyDeleteI agree. From the looks of things, I'm guessing this is upgradable? Being able to replace the arm or vest with the top-end stuff as you go would be a great entrance platform into the steadi world.
ReplyDeleteVery eager to hear how a demo goes, this is the one that has my attention.
Im in for the proline... hopefully we see a price tag soon
ReplyDeleteAny updates?
ReplyDeleteThe test results should be up tomorrow. Will post them here. Judging from the poll results and the first impressions posted by the testers, we will probably purchase the ProLine T2000 rig.
DeleteSounds Great!
DeleteThanks David,
Deletequick question
what is the password on the proline website? noticed they had a redlogo on top of the page that requires a login, is that for us or?
it can be emailed to me at info (at) royrossovich (dot) com
cheers!
The password will be provided as soon as we start the group buy.
DeleteThanks David,
DeleteI ended up finding that info eventually. Looking forward to seeing how this ends, really liking the look of this rig though!
cheers

We are currently at 31 for the PROline rig, so I'm sure we can reach that magical 40 number... Not sure about 80 though. It all depends on the deadline PROline gives us to get the orders in. As said before, I'd like to order sooner than later.
ReplyDeleteUp to 37 now!
ReplyDeletei'm in :-)
ReplyDeleteVery interested in this one as well.
ReplyDeleteSorry - I'm pressed for time, and don't want to miss this
Will try to research tonight which will work better for small gear (5Dmiii and 7.7 moni with hdmi (large on both ends) going through the post.
If anyone has an opinion, I'd be grateful.
John
As far as I can tell, if you adjust the spring tension on the arm, as well as load up weight of your DSLR on the sled, everything should be fine. With rails, matte box, cage, battery, monitor, I have many options to increase the top weight if needed. I think with more weight, there would be less swing because of the higher mass. At the same time, all of this can add up and be a larger weight to carry on your legs/back for the entire rig. If you were to run with it, I'd lighten the load as much as possible all around.
DeleteHey all...sorry to be 'that' person but I just found out about this. How can I get in on the GB? Much appreciated!

when does the group buy start ?
ReplyDeletei'm ready :-)
The group buy will probably start next week and will be open for a week or two. Just waiting for the last details from Luciano at ProLine about lowering the required orders for the highest discount bracket.
