Our Scarlet has shipped and we're thrilled, but we have no way to work it. Anyone know when the side handle and touch come out of backorder?

I got a notice for my touchscreen last week, and I ordered in the first hour but am waiting for my Scarlet. I think they're pushing through Touchscreens right now by timestamp. Haven't heard anything regarding Sidehandles though.

you mean besides Jannard's pledge for end-of-Feb?
I'm curious how many folks are sitting on Scarlet brains with no way to operate them, while the warranty period ticks away...

One can also use redbricks or any other v-mount battery to operate Scarlet.
 
When I spoke to a rep last Thursday, he had mentioned that Redmote and LCD is backordered till January, and side handle till Feb. If you already have a redmote or LCD on order, you might get those first.
 
They are both backordered in the store, but I heard February or March everything will be out of backorder. It seems some are still getting both or just the screen.
 
I got my allocation email for the 5" Touch Screen today. I ordered Nov. 4th, and my SO was 2219. Also got my RedVolts, Red Station, and SSD from FedEx today. Woot, can't wait for the camera to show up!
 
Can't help think that the biggest reason why you can't use your Scarlet are all these people buying the accessories that are well down the list to have an actual camera. I heard people buying these things up before they even announced Scarlet or for stage 3 X's! RED really should have been on top of this and not sent accessories that are in short supply to people without cameras, makes complete sense to me.
 
That is probably one factor among others. But people are getting allocations and receiving LCD's, who ordered packages, not just accessories, well after some others. Got no idea what's happened with this issue. Pretty crazy town. ANd seems to be en masse. So have emailed my rep to see if he can make sense of it for me.

I'm not worried though, I know it'll come soon. And my wife is certainly enjoying herself...

"So are you going to film something?"

"I can't. Not yet."

"What do you mean? You finally have your camera?"

"I've tried to tell you before, it's a very clever modular design, so you need some other things to be able to make it work"

"What like intelligence?"

"Yes dear. Very funny. I'm still waiting on my intelligence to ship. Thank you"

Ohhhhhh, but the days are getting loooooong RED.

serious? wow....

I don't like it that cameras get sent out without touch screens at least... and I think for a Scarlet, because they are entry level.. should have the side handle as well and some red volts.

But hey... not unless you ordered the scarlet first and parts later... then you have a problem.

Hope you get what you need quickly..
 
All accessories in except for side handle...come on camera. Ordered Scarlet AL Canon kit November 3rd.
