  • 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 :)

April shipping update

Even if i don't get it on time. It would be awesome to rent one. Hopefully there will be available Scarlet W for rent by then.

I'll be much less impatient for future upgrades and such because I'll already have a Red ha. I'll likely wait for upgrades until the demand has died down, but for now since I'm coming from 5D3 Raw the SW is a whole different league, and after having the pleasure of DPing on a film with an epic dragon I'm hooked. Sure I can still shoot a good film with what I have already (and I do shoot paid projects all the time with it! My old cam has earned its cost like 20 times over), but I'm really ready to move up. Also since Reds are relatively rare in Indiana, I find the mere presence of having the known brand name to change the attitudes of some of the people on set (for the no budjet projects). Ridiculous, I know, but producers take me more seriously when I have a Red available and student assistants get super hyped and show more motivation because of it. Also creating great images is a plus and gets me​ hyped.

Not complaining in the slightest, I think the real problem is that I like these cameras too much!

My sentiments exactly Josiah! Making the leap from a 5D3 with ML to RED makes it that much more exciting.

As an October 25th timestamp holder, I am a little worried that I might not see my camera for a while yet seeing as allocations have just moved onto September 25th.

I know the first few hours after announcement would have the highest density of pre-orders but being a month back in the queue feels like a long way away :)

As we are almost a week into April, I am optimistically holding onto the information provided to us here and wishing that I and all other Raven to Scarlet-W transfers (pre announcement) will get their cameras allocated within the next few days. Fingers crossed!

Not sure why people are booking shoots with a camera they don't have. Plan on a rental (or your current camera) and if your Raven or W shows up, great! Ya'll are just screwing yourselves by making plans around a production and delivery schedule you can't see and don't control. The team at RED are doing a great job of keeping us up to date on things, but don't try to hold them accountable for your own lack of planning. /RANT

Joshua,

i have my red scarlet camera but I can't shot with scarlet, because i need 4k slow motion shot, and also i cant go for rental red epic dragon because it's too expensive in my region, and for me it's first time to buy a new preorder camera.

As i know now the camera alrady shipped everywhere on march, just i need to wait more to recive my camera, as per jarred appril apdate I should get allocated today or tomorrow.(because I switched from RAVEN to SW when it was released.

anyway, i hope to get my mail this week for allocating my camera.
 
At a loss...

At a loss...

Just found out today that my initial raven deposit was cancelled due to the fact I didn't provide verification details. I've been back through my email correspondence and cannot find any such request... Verification was only requested upon swapping over to thr Scarlet-W. Did I miss something in the fine print or does your Bomb Squad rep request this info via email only? The Raven deposit was my first purchase from RED.com and I received a receipt and a confirmation email from the rep stating that my order will be processed later that day. Brent any help would be greatly appreciated
 
Hey Aaron, your rep gets back in touch with you after your initial deposit. I am a new red buyer and my rep sent me an email asking for further details and information to make sure it was me putting the deposit down. Your rep should of emailed you after your deposit was put in.
 
My Rep just emailed me today saying my 4.7 inch was allocated. FYI I do not have a SW brain yet and I ordered it on Dec 11 to give you an idea where they are on those orders, seems like they're just about caught up on those.

EDIT: False alarm, misread the email. They're not caught up to Dec11 yet.

Well it sounds somewhat on track when cross referencing Jarreds first post that the "caught up" timeframe for the 4.7" monitor was 4/5. I think the biggest hurdle that we're looking to get through was the projected 4/8 caught up date for the I/O Vlock expander, which is what all package orders are needing. Looking forward to seeing how things pan out in the coming week or two :) Also looking forward to NAB!
 
To those that already have their S-W packages in-hand? How long after allocation did it take for shipping to happen?

My S-W package (switched from Raven ordered 9/25 @ 12:22am) was allocated last Thursday and paid for in full right away, and it still has not shipped.
 
Just got my Scarlet-W package allocated! I switched from Raven to Scarlet-W and I ordered on September 25, 10pm.
 
SW package allocated!

SW package allocated!

Just got my allocation email as well! Was a Raven switcher, Sep 25th at 2:30pm. Great day.
 
S-W people are going to be so psyched. The commercial I worked on last month with S-W, and weapon MG is almost done and the clients were suuuuuuuper happy. will post a link as soon as it's done
 
Nice to see that some more packages are rolling out! Hopefully they'll get through the Raven-switchers soon and on to me :)

Still wondering what I will see first: my camera or one on display at NAB?
 
Just to clarify for people who ordered packages, are you getting notifications like "your brain is ready but accessories or not" or will the package notification just all come at once? First time red buyer so just getting used to the process.

quick edit: i ordered on the 25th at 12:50 am pst. not sure if anyone else around me has heard anything.. but it seems like some later on the 25 have.
 
I'm dying for it !
Although I'm disappointed that the price from when we book and when we're allocated are that much different.
