  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

16GB total silence...

are you sure it is for the 16GB cards?

Actually not 100%. I ordered a battery and charged in a separate order as well but since this shipment is listed by fedex as 1lbs I think its the cards.
 
Pictures!

Installation is pretty straightforward, some screws and two cables, nothing difficult. The 16GB cards work as expected and in no time it is as with any computer upgrade: you get used to it and forget how things were before. Still it is very satisfying to know that now you can do the same speeds as the harddrive.

One nice bonus you get is that the 16GB cards unmount faster than the 8GB - I'd say twice as fast. Just hope RED used better paint than with the 8GB cards...
 
Yep,
Same here. Easy install.
I actually got the cards and the board before Thanksgiving, but yesterday was my first chance to install.
I'm assuming they'll ramp up and get the cards out to everyone fairly soon.
In the meantime, know that they work as advertised. Thank you Red Team.
Cheers,
Harry
 
The serial number of my camera is 3910, came with Build 16. The CF module is compatible with the new 16GB compact flash?
Thanks,
Mario
 
If you are #3910, I just checked the invoice date and it shipped with the 16 GB CF card-supported reader/writer.

You do? I just got my 16 GB cards and the reader/writer and there was nothing in there saying I had to ship the old reader/writer back.

That's news to me!

That's what it says in the email that RED sends out informing you that they are about to ship you the items.

"After swapping your RED CompactFlash reader/writer(s), please send back your old reader/writers to RED at your earliest convenience. When you are ready, please contact me for an RMA number. If we do not receive your old CF reader/writer within (30) days of shipping your upgraded reader/writers, we will invoice you for the new reader/writer."
 
Red Team? Weigh in here. I missed that too. I'll happily send the old one back.
Brent, also sent you and Travis an email.
Cheers,
Harry
 
Yeah, the excerpt from the backorder email above that Mike Burton posted was correct. We do request the old CF reader/writer back. Mainly, we don't want a camera being used, operator bending a pin, then thinking there was a spare reader to put in - and then wonder why the 16 GB CF CARDS don't work :)

Now that they are off of backorder, we don't have a "your cards are ready" email with that copy, so we have instructed BOMB SQUAD reps to let the customer know :)

Thanks, BC
 
Are the 16GB cards really off backorder? Because I have two of them that show in My_Account as backordered. I just ordered them last week, but figured I'd ask. Or are we waiting for more of the updated card readers?

Just wondering...
 
Jeff, the 16GB cards are off of backorder. You can contact either your bomb squad rep or my self and we will get those out to you. My email is brianb@red.com so send one of us an email and we will help you out.

My Account is still in beta and being worked on. If something seems fishy, please do contact your BOMB SQUAD rep :)

So are the new readers only shipped out with a 16GB CF card order, or have they been shipping with the current cameras?

My number is 4257.
