Right to Repair
The r1mx project is aligned with the Right to Repair movement. The RED ONE and RED ONE MX are fully discontinued, no longer under warranty, and no longer serviceable by the manufacturer. Owners of these cameras have a legitimate interest in understanding and repairing their own equipment.
