December deliveries...

[Emanuel A.]

We are going to be a bit late on the December deliveries due to fine tuning and production ramp up of the new lens mount. I can't tell you an exact date that we will begin shipping but it should still be early in the month and we do expect to get the full amount of scheduled cameras out by month end. The delay should not affect future delivery schedule.

Good news is many more features enabled for serial #100+ deliveries and a much more solid platform. Plus the image has improved. A little late but worth the wait...

We appreciate your patience.

Jim

Patiently waiting,

E. ;-)

Dear RED TEAM;

I have been following you guys, long before I booked my camera #958.

I am right now configurating my accesories list to book them. I am not in a rush, but there is something that really worries me.

No one talks, about the overheating that the camera suffers after a few minutes of recording. Is that problem being sort out? or is that the way we will have to work?,(shoot a few minutes-wait a bit to cool down).

I also will take the oportunity, to ask for the best dealer in USA for an
O connors tripot.

Thanks guys for being all the time out there.

It's been discussed a lot. Jim has posted on the subject many times. It's not an issue to worry about provided you don't need to record in absolute silence at noon in summer in the middle of a desert.. The camera gets hot, but then so do we..

and it passes Jarred's torture testing

re the new lens mount - Any one like to take a guess at what torture methods Jarred employs?:detective2:

I can't wait to get my RED, it will be a while still but I mean I've been just so excited by this camera since I heard of it back in April. I didn't really think that this soon someone would make a rival to 35mm film cameras that I could actually afford. I thought that was still a ways off. Then I heard of the RED and the idea that I could at least be shooting with a camera that would give me 100% professional results allows me to worry about the script and the story, not the camera, so I know if I come up with a great script and put together a talented team, I can make a great movie and nobody will say, "That was pretty good, I mean considering what you had to work with." No thanks, haha.

Just a thought.... It seems that the lens mount has only slowed down to Jarred beating on a lens mount a bit. So i would assume since Jim said there is a line of cameras waiting that the rest of RED team is cranking out the 2800 or so cameras on order. With this in mind once the lens mount is finished the orders should be coming out of there as fast as they can manufacture the sturdier lens mount, attach to the RED and box them up. So once the first orders come out with the new lens mount they should easily be able to match delivery dates that were last posted. Then again this is just me speculating...
