Cinetronic Gen 2 Monitor pricing, specifications, and upgrade compatibility
14 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.
What the thread found
- The Gen 2 monitor comes in a 7-inch 16:9 format with a preorder price of $4799 for new customers and upgrade options ranging from $1200 to $3299 for existing Gen 1 owners.
- Gen 1 monitor yokes are not compatible with Gen 2 monitors due to significant size differences between the two models.
- The Gen 2 level sensor is only compatible with Gen 2 monitors and not available for Gen 1 models.
- A 6.5-inch 4:3 format Gen 2 monitor was not initially planned, requiring customers with Gen 1 4:3 monitors to upgrade to the 16:9 format if they chose to upgrade at 9:3 format if they chose to upgrade at that time.
- Level sensor and monitor yoke are sold separately; upgrade customers receive reduced pricing on the level sensor.
- Turnaround time for monitor upgrades is 1-2 days from receipt to shipment.
- A 50% down payment was required for preorders with a tentative 4-6 week delivery window subject to supply chain changes.
