  • 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 :)

Birger Lens Mount Reservations

Jay is a quick bugger...

Sales order confirmations went out to approximately 1/4 of the reservation holders just now. If your company name (or if no company name, your first name) begins with "A", "B", "C", or "D", you got an email. The rest should go out tomorrow. PLEASE DO NOT ASK "WHERE IS MINE?" UNTIL I POST THAT I HAVE EMAILED THE LETTER "Z".

On the feature front, how does class 1 bluetooth sound (100 meter range)? We are working to get it in there as we finalize everything this week.

CanonEF mounts with confirmation numbers 107.x should start shipping 22 February; 108.x the following week. 109.x the first week in March.

N.B. I have not read any other posts in the past week, I will get to them in a couple of days.

For those who asked: 107 is an order reseived November 2007, 108 December 2007 and 109 January 2008.

Thanks for your update.

Did you notice that I've placed another reservation? Your announcement (about easy swapping mounts with no need for collimation at all) has produced some changes on our choices. Please, be aware of that.
 
Awesome, Erik, thanks for the update — and my confirmation!

I second the question about interchangeable mounts. How will that work? And will the different mounts be $950 each, or are additional mounts cheaper?

EDIT: Also, I assume the rail mount knob will be 19mm, which is probably the way I'll go, but do you plan to offer a 15mm option?
 
power protection ...

power protection ...

Given the Birger mount receives power from the RED ... if there is a power surge in the RED camera (for whatever reason), is the circuit in the lens (Canon, Nikon or other vendor) protected ?

I only ask as I'm unclear what level of power surge protection is integrated in the RED ... just checking :sarcasm:

Cheers,
 
Assuming all timelines from Birger are...dynamic as I have not recieved my confirmation either.
 
I reserved in November and have received no conformation. People are getting 108 conformations. Is it alphabetical then?
 
Everything's gonna be alright, guys, you can chill. I was one of the early believers and still haven't gotten my confirmation. In the interim, I've spoken with Erik a few times and I can tell y'all he's got all our orders waiting to be processed; so don't worry.


P.S: confirmation is spelled with an "i":wink:
 
I got my credit card charged, so I'm feeling pretty good!

I haven't got my confirmation yet... Haven't been charged either. It could be my fault though... Looking at my form I faxed in, I didn't write my email address on there (ooops). I guess I'll email, not sure if they will take the time to call.
 
why so much hostility against erik?.. now you already have deadlines for the delivery.. how so much do you need for?.. erik is like that.. an informal guy.. he does simply work.. he doesn't only seem work.. birger mount is as revolutionary as red.. simply rocks for itself..
 
filmmaker's gang.. it isn't erik we are after. it's our mounts. we do not dislike Erik, i beleive he is a wonderfull man who is trying as hard as he could to get the stuff done.

Because it is HUMAN to err. some orders are left out.. maybe lost... etc.. birger should have more guys to track orders and such stuff.

It is the lack of cusomer support from birger and being kept in the dark that we dislike.

Right now birger is like a shop, with counters, but no sales people, not even one. or more likely, a one man show that is making products in a dark little room while holding people's money.

a Revolutionary product has nothing to do with sending products on time or customer support.

Erik, if ure listening buddy... i'd be sorry if you felt in anyway that I am being pushy or hostile.

I check this post once a week or so to see if there is an update and it's always the same sequence of posts. Just an observation.
 
:biggrin: if that's the reason... that's sort of embarrassing to complain and then find out it's your spam filter. :mail1:

erik, just concentrate on doing a great job on that mount. you're saving a lot of people a lot of money if it works out. i appreciate that!

How aggressive is your spam filter? I have sent you the email about six times now.

Ha! Hadn't thought of that, but many spam filters label mail from outside the country as higher probability of spam. If you're in the UAE, Akube, that could explain it.
