  • 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 :)

Backorder Update - November 8

I hope not. I really did bet the farm with red. I'm a huge fanboy. I know they are killing themselves. My point was if its going to be a 5 month wait or whatever...I'm fine with that as long asi can make plans. I love and respect all that red is doing. Sorry if the post came off as aggressive.

It's cool, but, for now, rent a different cam, Red's cam will pay itself off in spades, don't mess it up for yourself ... The getting is still good and people are Red Haters out there in the world. Let them hate and then bam, whip out your camera footage and there wont be much they can say. It's just a little time. Soon Red will be so streamlined it's not even funny. Jim and Jarred know what they are doing things are just growing so fast. I guess they sold probably a Billion dollars with of Scarlet alone already. They need a chance to catch up, they've earned it with all the free swag they give their customers - problem is now people expect it.
 
well Bryan Bryan- your post is pretty aggressive and could be construed as a "bad attitude"

Why do some people feel more entitled than everybody else waiting?
I got an answer for your queries... DEMAND HAS EXCEEDED SUPPLY...

HIGH DEMAND = back orders.simple stuff. Nobody is more aware of the moving dates than Jarred... bascially calling him a liar in their own forum is just...

a good way to go to the back of the line... just saying.

Tim, That was the LAST thing I was trying to do. Apologies for how harsh the post came off. Ill just shut up now.....
 
as usual this forum is good comedy...
bryan! for god`s sake raise your head out of the dust! you bought something so you have every right to expect it being delivered..

"could be construed as a "bad attitude".... "they may not sell to you".... oh my god!...

what is this? the north korean big leader praising forum? ... "just shut up and smile or we all end up in one of those camps.. without cameras!!"

hey fire chief, why don`t you ever respond to your customers being threatened like this on your forum?

bryan, don`t just shut up now, keep asking questions! that`s what this forum is about........ or is it not?

............
 
I don't know what you guys mean by your Bomb Squad Reps not getting back to you, mine (Brian Scheckelhoff) is a great REP, he has not only gotten back to me, but we have conversed on the phone, and via email many times. Of course I ordered a great deal more than just the SCARLET. We decided that we are going to go all RED equipment, no off brand crap. We eventually will have everything that RED has to offer. Most people complaining on REDUSER have no idea what it takes to run a business this large, that gets a lot of orders in general, but then has to deal with a large influx of orders all at the same time.
 
Do you really think that kind of post will do any good whatsoever? They are busting their asses so we can all try to have images 1/10th the quality of DP's who have been shooting for 30 + years. Yeah blah blah blah I'm waiting for my RedMote from my Epic M pack a long time ago... Stop looking at the clock, if you are already working solidly use something else until your stuff is ready man, otherwise they may just not sell to you. I say this with the kindest of nudges. It will be taken care of in time. We all want, I want this, I want that, can you do this, this whole 2/3 inch thing is out of control. Chill, Jarred drinks 8 red bulls a day (joking) and he can deal with the like of us, and all you have to do is wait... Chill out man it will be ok.

Enough to know that they forces productive have, Scarlet produced in a day and how many orders have to escape for knowing how much time we must wait for.

Many user here are happy because Red stuff produce good hardware, that it's true, but i pay for this is not gratis.
I'm an educated person, I always say thanks, also when to thank to me it would have to be the person to which I entrust my money.

Gratis, hehe
 
You guys are all nuts . That's probably why we like you so much :)

I do apologize for the moving targets with Backorder... our manufacturing today is 5000% times better than what it was a year ago, but we still have a bit more work to do.

We are adding machines.. adding people.. doing our best... and that best will get much better very soon.
 
Are the early 320GB drives with blown fW800 port eligible for the trade in program?

Sure... on a one by one basis at our Bombsquad's sole discretion depending on how it got that way.
 
In view of the way people go dark when they're satiated and scream when they're waiting, I just want to say: We've got nothing (bar scarlet stuff) backordered right now, and that makes me extra happy. Add to that being able to get on the phone to Red Europe about occasional cables, accs etc and be told 'yes they're on the shelf, come and get it' is great too.

/suckingup ;)

Really??? Nothing backordered?

Is that because you haven't ordered anything :-)

I am still waiting for battery module and Canon mount.
 
Thanks for the update! Was looking for this thread hehe.

Cheers,

Cant wait to get my Bomb EVF and DSMC Side handle!
 
@James: you can work with the old RED bricks and the adapter cable if it's urgent.
 
In the sake of the RED DRIVE people hijacking a backorder thread (start a new thread please guys) lets keep this thread clean so we can easily check updates on BO bits. thanks!

That said, I got my DSMC Side Handle email yesterday and the impeccable Madeline Standish sent them to shipping! Cant remember when I ordered them... but not too long ago - late summer?

anyway, definitely feels like things are gonna rock soon with jim expecting ALL BACKORDERS to be caught up by Feb 2011. That speaks volumes (pun intended!)
 
Not trying to bug you, but I am gearing up for long remote shoot, and trying to figure batteries. Everything mentioned here except battery module. Any idea about that timeline?

Mid December still :)
