EFV - what numbers are shipping ?

[donatello b]

anybody know the approx camera number they are at on shipping the EVF ?
i know they haven't reached 103 ...

 

[Greg M]

i think they are in the 40's

 

[Fredrik Callinggard]

So I can expect mine by the time RED TWO is out :biggrin:

 

[Ivan G]

I bet I'll get a Scarlet before I get the EVF

 

[Michael Lindsay]

On this forum Jim said (and is hopefully on target) that I would recieve the EVF with my first camera...

hopefully

Well, I am 327, and I am TRYING to be patient, but, and correct me if I am wrong, isn't March rather close by? And was not the "Ramp up in production" suppose to have happened this month.

Come on..Seriously.. I'm dying here.

They're in the low 50s right now and they expect to hit our camera 88 EVF within a couple of weeks.

Yeah, the ramp up was in February. So everyone will have one in a few days. Or maybe they are shaving 3 lbs off the design and that's the delay.

I'm wondering if my Birger or my EVF will show up first.

Well, based on the claims of Red and those who have used the EVF, it's one of, if not the best in the industry. So maybe they have to go through an extensive QC phase.

Seriously? That's worryingly slow.
I need an EVF.

 

[Arnaud Paris]

Two weeks to get from 50 to 88, while it took them about 4 months to get from 20 to 50 is actually not that slow.

That would be almost 4 months until I'll get mine. :wacko:

I really hope that ramping up will be better than that.

Really? When there are 750+ cameras out there at the moment.... most of which (I guess) have an EVF reserved.

 

[Jay A. Kelley]

This sucks hard.

[Arnaud Paris]

What I mean is that they are definitely ramping up and that this will all get better for everybody.

 

[Jens Jakob Thorsen]

This is simply NOT good enough.

 

[J.D. Frey]

Yikes- I guess I shouldn't get my hopes up. More chance of finding a delorean that can take me back in time so I can get an earlier reservation number.

 

[Brent Carter]

We ramped up fulfillment in Feb (we delivered dozens of EVFs). We also ramped up production of EVFs in Feb, which means - moving forward - we will be delivering hundreds, not dozens, per month. You guys have been really patient - this EVF is worth it, for sure.

I'm curious as to what the huge changes to the shipping EVFs are from the production EVFs that shipped on the first RED Day? I know that they're brighter... that the blue cast has been fixed [lens coating issue?]... what else? I'm just curious as to which change took five months [I don't mean that in a snarky way, I'm just honestly curious].
