  • 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

Ajey said:
Really are u going to come out of this back order problem by end of this Aug??!!. it is almost end of Aug but things are not looking bright. Body without a view finder is really tough for anybody to cope.

It's currently 3:36 am at RED's headquarters in LA... It's going to take longer than 20 minutes to get a response so stop posting and wait a little while...

If I order now do I get the camera with bomb evf. I don't want to be held up in the backorder so I would like to know whether it is possible to get all the accessories including Mysterium X sensor by end of Aug.

Probably you will not get an fully functional alexa by the end of august and no mx red with bomb evf.

You can rent.

Still the same piece of Useless crap. just a tiny smaller. totally not ergonomic.. at all.
I have never even use the One on my Arri 435. My transvideo Kills it. Viewfinders are so 1920s.
(Please don't get offended. Please Don't take it Personal) But Please Think. The Viewfinder Is almost 100 years old. Move On......

what u mean? can u pls elaborate? what is the substitute?
 
Ajey,

With a little cut and paste you can put all your replies in one post. BTW the forum has a real "full" name policy.
 
Ajey, or whoever you are, take it down a notch.

There is a significant back-order on the EVF, we do not know exact dates. They seem to be trickling out slower than RED originally anticipated. Many of us have them on order and are waiting.

As for Mysterium-X sensor, no M-X sensor for new cameras until all current owners have a chance to upgrade.

You mentioned Alexa in one of your first posts, so I don't know if you're trolling or not. There is a significant back-order on Alexa and its accessories too. So either way, you will have some wait ahead of you if you order one of these cameras now. If you need one now, you best to rent. Or purchase an MX-upgraded RED One from someone who's selling one. Some include the old-style EVF.

As others have pointed out, this has indeed become a real-names forum. Please put your real name in your sig and make a request in the Real Names thread to hav your name changed.
 
Another shipment comes in next week....the numbers are starting to grow :)
 
Not in a massive rush for mine seeing as it will be the first piece of RED technology I will ever own but it's good to know I should already have it for when Scarlet ships.

"

Many of us have them on order and are waiting. sorry to say... every customer can't be rich enough to wait so long.... or they might have borrowed money thinking that Camera is available for immediate purchase.
In India Renting is expensive than buying.

this has indeed become a real-names forum... trust me, my real is Ajey. it is an Indian name.

I don't understand why this forum get so angry when one talk against or complain about Red!!!. One has to accept the facts right?

I'm familiar with the name, but you need to do better than that. No different than someone coming on here and saying his name is "Thor" or "Steve" and leaving it at that. Need a full name. And I suggest you stop by the Real Names forum and put in your request before you make your next round of posts.

Complaining is fine and there's a specific forum for that. People don't get angry when someone complains. People get angry when you post 10+ times times to the same thread and also post to multiple threads, complaining about the same thing. Anyway, We got it. You don't like that RED has many items on back-order. Believe me, none of us like it either. They give us the best dates they have. The new EVF is shipping and it seems to be ramping up. But there's probably 2000 people in the queue for one at this point. Wouldn't surprise me. Get in line like everyone else. I understand renting is expensive, especially in markets where the cameras are not so plentiful.

If you think you can get an Alexa faster than a RED kit, do it, more power to you. But I know plenty of people waiting for one of those too and they don't have any idea when they will receive it. And it will be well into next year, they have already been told that. That's the other thing that tends to get people fired up around here. Complaining about certain aspects of RED and then making idle threats of ordering a competitor's camera. No one really cares if that's how you feel. You're just posting noise.

Hi Jeff.. really ridiculous... Y u guys are getting irritated by the fact...
Take my word, it would be my lost post in this forum. you people sounds so horrible.
Be cool man.. I buy Alexa or Red, is it anything to do with your forum. Read my post again to see my pain in it. Be sensible yaar. I showed my anxiety that's it. Regarding repeated msg & post to multiple thread.. it was not intentional. I hardly post in your forum so I might have clicked the button unknowingly.
why I am telling you all this is because atleast from now on you people think before blaming others.

most of you guys sounds so weird... what's wrong man....!!!!. Helping each other and being informative is more important than behaving like dictators.
Even I am proud that 'Red' had come out with such a product where a small man (Financially) with great idea can make movie.(But it doesn't mean that you make your customer suffer because of your new inventions).
I don't know how this forum is linked with Red but 'attitude' of this kind, is not at all good.
keep your forum for yourself.. bye

Ajey, there are 33,000 members here who are able to deal with these forums just fine... what's going on? If you have concerns about RED, call the company. Relax. People don't say things here that they wouldn't say in person. Why? Because if I ran my mouth here, somebody is one click away from having my phone number and 10 digits away from speaking with me. Trust me, we're all being reasonable... it's what we do. If you think it's unreasonable, I'm not sure what the issue is.

I'm hearing there is hundreds Alexa's on back order and Arri can't meet the demand with only a handful of units delivered every month.
 
I am curious. Who else has a Bomb EVF not counting RED or Offhollywood.

I'm wondering if shipping is slow, or stopped. For the record I do not have a Bomb on order, I'll do that when Epic is close. I'm just curious who else has one.

Thanks for getting us back on topic, Jay. Like Jarred mentioned earlier, we have ramped up production so quite a few people will be getting emails from their BOMB SQUAD reps this week letting them know a BOMB EVF is earmarked for them :)

Is going to be so nice starting to play with the little ones, on the R1 MX, a BIG change from the Original!! (yet still exceptionally good EVF).

This way I get used to it for when they will be mounted on the Epic-X ;)
 
Thanks Brent for posting the good news. Perhaps a weekly update on progress would help people's psyches. While I am firmly convinced that the Red Team is doing the absolute best that they can to get the Bomb EVFs out the door, others might find a steady diet of news comforting.

Cheers - #19
