  • 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

Martin Yeung said:
I was informed by my bomb squad rep that it should be any day now for most of the back orders.

Keep your fingers crossed.

My rep advised me that my Canon mount is now ready for me (I ordered within a few hours of it appearing in the store).

But there is no sign of the battery mount or the Redmote.
Maybe mid to late Dec for those 2 items.

Just wanted to give a shoutout to RED, I know how many of these posts are frustration and complaints, but I just wanted to say thank you for all the hard work. Your products are awesome, your stance as a company is progressive, and the RED team is dedicated and driven. Thank you RED Team, we like to complain, but it's only because we love your products so much.
 
I am EPIC - X #152 and I just got the following notices this Monday
1. RED MOTE shipping Notice Monday
2. Side Handle Shipped (actually last week)
3. EVF shipping notice (Tues) and ordered this April 2011

All I am waiting for now is the Quad Module and Adapter and Canon Mount (I ordered same day but later than most people)
 
Canon Ti Mount shipped today from Red UK, ordered within a couple of hours when it got online.
 
How far back do you think the redmote and side handle are back ordered? Trying to decide how on a power solution.

Thanks!
 
Redmotes are going out in good supply right now as you have been reading from the customers. ... 3 more weeks to mop those up for all orders.

Side Handles we had a supply issue for the rubber grips.. we are resolving that and should get caught up in January.

These updates are great. I have a side handle on order. No rush on delivery, but good to know the status. Thanks so much Jarred.
 
great news on the redmote. wonder how far back the orders go, i ordered recently on nov 21st.

any word on the tactical cage kit?
 
Rep told me today there are no plans for a trade-in / exchange program for those of us who want to get orders in before the price increases but want a Nikon instead of Canon mount (aka those of us who like to use good lenses :P ). You guys should reconsider that, by the way.

So I'm really looking forward to an update on the Nikon mount.

At the very least I hope if the Nikon mount becomes available before my package ships, I can change my order from Canon to Nikon without losing the pre-January-1st price...

All the basic Cage bits ( top, bottom, side adapters and ribs ) started shipping yesterday. need a week or so to determine a timeframe status.
 
Nikon mount is taking a backseat right now... We ( as you can see ) need to do some catching up on everything else, and the Nikon mount has proven to be a magnitude more complicated than any other mount we have engineered.

Nikon, god bless them, tried to keep the F mount alive for 50 years but recent changes with the AF-D and the G has created a bit of a cluster... protocols are all tangled up.. different amount of pins for electronics... Add to that requiring an actual mechanical actuator inside the lens to control the iris on some ( of course the good ones ) lenses, and then that actuator gets in the way of other lenses.

If you are hoping for an even swap/exchange for a canon mount it is unrealistic.. the Nikon mount , as it sits, is going to be more expensive.

It will till come.. but I can officially tell you there is no set date right now as the last round of prototypes and the ones that have been out in testing have proven not to be the final design.
