  • 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 :)

Bomb EVF Shipping

Rick Darge said:
Nobody getting an M camera is getting a Bomb shipped with their M. They have to wait at the back of the line... Behind everyone who already placed an order for a Bomb over a year ago.. Or at least over a year ago... I was told that a Bomb wouldn't come with an M but the Bomb I had on order since July 2010 would come before the M-Bomb would hit...

The people I know who have received an Epic-M have all received a Bomb EVF as well... meaning both rental houses and private owners. So I don't know where you're getting your info...

I'm getting that info from the horse's mouth
 
the bomb EVF
a short report...:)
super lightweight, thats huge.
right now i am on a fairy tale project where we shoot a lot through a mirror rigged to the cam. the weight of the Bomb EVF allows us to really let the EVF on a magic arm and place it to the most uncommon places on the body, which are super comfortable for the shooter.
less buttons and no wheel, thats again huge.
more streamlined. that simple
heater is great too...(is there a way to turn on and off the heater?)

Hmmm... well maybe that was true at one point. But I was fondling, er I mean evaluating, Chater Camera's new Epic-M yesterday and they did -not- have a Bomb EVF as it is backordered.
 
There's a good number of M's with the evf reported so it can't be true they are having to wait. It may be a new policy now or just that they have run out again. Either way, the accessory dramas continue...
 
Our Epic-M shipped about 2 weeks ago and no Bomb EVF. Back-ordered, and I believe at least one other fella who has an M is in the same boat.

Really it's an either/or situation right now -either you have the touch screen LCD for navigation & viewing, or the EVF with Redmote (also on backorder). You just can't use both in the current config (will that change...?)

I'm definitely not complaining; even though our MX Bomb has been backordered since sometime last year it doesn't bother me -I've easily adapted to using the 7" LCD and prefer it because of what I'm able to see things develop around me. And when I'm doing interviews I just sneak a peek in the LCD as opposed to lugging a production monitor (another bit of gak to haul) with our small doc crew.
 
"Can't we all get a BOMB????"

Note: that was a JOKE. Please don't read into it ... :)

On a serious note, I'm very sure Red is doing everything imaginable to make them faster ... and guys keep in mind that while it's positive to see people getting them
and know they are really shipping, there's the flip side to that -- "he has one and I don't!" comments start raging.

Forgive me if this sounds like kissing up ... but one thing that came through to me more than anything when meeting Jim and Jarred at NAB is how much they care
about their customers. It was tangible and undeniable to me. So let's for a second imagine how they feel when they see threads filled with a lot of negativity and hurtful
comments. As an analogy -- anyone who is married knows how easy and painful it can be for your significant other to bend over backwards and then be criticized or attacked,
even if they made a legitimate mistake.

These delays or miscommunications could be partly Red's fault -- or maybe not at all. But either way, I would prefer to assume the best and focus on the bright side ... especially
since IMHO their intentions of serving and satisfying their customers are beyond any shadow of a doubt. Also -- perhaps best news of all, as Jarred mentioned, is the excellent news that the
new manufacturing guy is already making an impact. Didn't expect it to be that fast, so that bodes well for many more things getting out the door this year.

That's just my .001 :)

Well I'm sure by the time Epic-X's ship that those that ordered Bomb EVFs will get them around the same time...
Obviously the delays been long for some and as much as I'd love to order one I'd rather put money on when their in stock just because I'm sure this wait for some is crazy, as is waiting for X with those that did Stage 2...

but what's the worst that could happen? They will deliver them, its just time... until then, rent or 2nd hand them?

A post with "just recieved" could be helpful the only problem comes when RED #200 posts it then RED #300 and back to #250.. obviously extreme example but it adds to the confusion since EPIC-M's would eventually get them but who knows where they are in line and where anyone is in line,

Given I guess it might help if someone that recieves their BOMB EVF with an R1 in the next few weeks would post and say so, could give an inkling and hope for some,

I'm sure we're all mature enough about this if someone posts up that they just got theirs,

I guess the initial M's that received it needed it or had ordered them previously? So it wasn't the M package EVF but rather their ordered one and they have their EVF on the way after, if that makes sense? given its speculation so who knows,

its in the past now and like some have said, some M's haven't got EVFs with them or REDVolts...SSDs they must have (otherwise they can't shoot right?)

Even REDMotes at that...

I'm sure though given REDs praise of their new production line manager that by the end of the year, lets all pray that when you hit order, any back order won't be for anymore then a week or two...
 
I've put my name in for an Epic-M, hopefully, otherwise I'm looking at Stage-4. And coming from someone at the back of the line, I find most of this endless speculation and demand for hour by hour status a bit out of place. Its not like Red is purposefully holding back a horde of Bombs for some nefarious reason. I'm sure they are working as fast as they can to fill the demand. They brought on a MFG guru to help with that. When they are built they will ship, and I'm sure Red has plans to ramp that rate up as fast as possible. Just like I am sure they will build me either an Epic-M or an Epic-X as fast as they are able to do so given the coplexity of thier task.

Asking Red to endlessly publish shipping numbers of Epics and all the accessories and ETAs on thier JIT inventory raw materials is just a big distraction, and I am sure an anoyance to Red.

Patience
 
Many of us have been more than patient. Please don't belittle those that are waiting and have been waiting. Nobody is saying that Red is holding back shipping their EVFs. All we are saying is WHERE ARE THEY? This thread was created almost a year ago...

It really is amazing... people are getting their EVFs and not posting. Those that complained now have theirs. Then they just disappear from the forum apparently. The only ones left are the ones that will get theirs soon. And as soon as they get theirs they won't post.

As someone who has checked this thread every few days since it's creation. And since I've been on back order for a EVF since 2009, I promise to post pictures and info the moment I have mine in my hands!
 
Hola Jannar easy to solve this discussion, just we need to now how many orders are in line and how many you send all ready, from months ago I ask for my position in the delivery line but I don't get any answer.

Realy BOMB EVF is fundamental gear to work PROFESSIONAL, I have 5 MX just 2 whit the old EVF but for alway (I'm agree) DP's and camera operator ask for EVF .

Thanks ... David Torres
 
I will post as soon as I receive mine.
 
You know it - some here have been on back order since 2009 - or at least for one year or so, and still waiting for their EVF...

Still - this is an interesting post:
