[TD]Highlights of the EPIC-M Upgrade Program include:

• New heatsink - Same thermal characteristics as prior version, but saves about a half-pound of weight from the original EPIC-M heatsink
• Internal board upgrades
• Improved REDlink antenna
• OLPF port bushing
• New exterior mechanicals including top that provides additional mounting points
• Improved fan

I received my upgrade notice today. So Red must be expanding the first wave due to people not being able to send thiers in right away.

SN 567. But they are not going by serial number. They are going by ship date. Mine was late May 2011.

Cool, like wise so great to see you again buddy, next time in Rome or Buenos Aires...

I assume an electronics upgrade will be included for those who do not have phantom power on the latest build.

Yes, it's brought up to full conformity with Epic-X functionally.

 

[Joachim Hoge]

Will be great to get phantom power. Hope I can drop it off in June as I´m going on a 3 week shoot without my EPIC. Would be great to come back to a new camera!

Yeah serial number order is funky. I'm #825... April '11

 

[Michael Mayda]

SN 922, got email today...

 

[Justin Marx]

Got mine today too.. SN 1261/887

887 was stolen, but purchased last year I think in AUG??

 

[Jamie A]

Would like to hear any experiences on the upgrade, how long it took, what is different, etc..

 

[Peter Cote]

How long does the upgrade process take? I keep my camera busy on shoots and would like to get an idea of the downtime to expect. I am local in LA so camera won't have to travel far.

 

[Charlie_Grinnell]

Got mine on Friday, epic m 998

 

[Sergey Afanasiev]

I got my invitation to upgrade today. And here is written upgrade will take only 7 days. This is very good news for me!

But that is 7 business days. More like 9 days total or even 11 days if they receive it on a Friday afternoon.
