  • 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 :)

EPIC-X begins...

Are the DSMC side handles on backorder?
 
So the production seems slow so far, how fast can that ramp up to? Is that dependent on alot of the testing and experiences that will come from the Epic X? Is this the only production line at RED? Can they run multiple lines producing more than one camera at a time? Yes I'm aware they're focused on the X at this point. I'm just curious as they're looking at producing 4 more cameras still.

Its the first day back from a Holiday... lets give em a day or two to catch their breath... and Jim clearly stated production would RAMP UP at some point after the first few batches made it. No need to rush a precision instrument.

Remember too jarred mentioned a thorough and time consuming QC check AFTER production... (please take all the time you need RED )

I also don't think they are going purely by Serial #, but by delivery dates according to Brent.

Speculation drives everybody nuts... they will ship when they ship... its not like RED is sitting there saying... "hehe, lets delay these a little more just to piss people off" - they want them out the door faster than we want them in our door. trust me on that one

So they started the 29th and so far there are 7 out the door or it appears to this point? That seems very slow.

Boy, people here just won't take yes for an answer. If you offered some of them 10 free cameras, $5000 cash, and a $20 gift card for In-N-Out, they'd probably complain that there's no In-N-Out in Colorado.
 
I don't expect we'll receive a "We just shipped Number ___" post every time they ship a camera. And I know we won't get a "We just received Number ___" post every time someone receives a camera.

RED is moving as best they see fit - if they've slowed down, there's a reason for it.

All of this has happened before, and all of it will happen again.

Did you read my whole post? I'll go edit it and make certain areas bold. I said I'm sure they'll ramp up as time goes on. I am not complaining. I'm not even getting an Epic X at this point. I know they work tirelessly, I know they're crushing it over there, I know they probably worked on the holiday. I know QC is important.

I hate this about boards, people take one post and read one sentence and miss the main point because of one thing they disagree with. I guess the main thing I want to know is how much are they going to ramp up? There are tons of Epics to get out and 4 other cameras on the pipeline as well. I was more or less asking what there capacity and output can be. Maybe from Jim, Jarred or another Red employee, or someone that works with them alot could supply that answer rather than a needless post making me appear selfish or something? I didn't totally understand your post to begin with. I was merely trying to figure out the output they could handle based on Red One's and Epic M's. I know alot of what Epic X can accomplish will answer this. Forgive me let me edit my post to not share my thoughts and merely my question.
 
Wouldn't a RED store RSS feed be neat? New products, price alterations, availability status (in stock, out of stock, backordered)...hmm...

I'm sure they'll ramp up but I've read some stuff about other companies ability to output and the numbers, and this is a big reason why it may be hard for RED to release products. They were all clearly speculating as nearly anyone is anymore in reference to RED but maybe Jim or Jarred can chime in. Can the output of cameras be increased to meet the demand in a reasonable time? Possibly on more than one camera at a time? I'm sure they can they've conquered everything in front of them at this point. I'm just curious as to this because they have 4 cameras on the roadmap essentially. Maybe that's changed and we don't know but if these are the starting speeds are they going to beable to meet the demand of 2-3 cameras at a time? Epic X, S, Scarlet, Scarlet Interchangeable? It just seems very slow at this point. Just based on the lists it seems like it'll take a year for Epic X alone at the current speed, not taking into account other camera production...

Jim already stated that the first week of Epic-X would be slow (Ferrari assembly line), ramping to full capacity (Ford assembly line). We were shown a photo of 28 cameras being tested last week; presumably those (and maybe more) are in-transit this week, while a larger batch of cameras gets tested this week. How high the production line's capacity goes, and how quickly, are open questions. We should not expect Red to explicitly answer, due to the need to protect information from competitors. Based on the previous timelines posted, there is every reason to expect that Red will meet Epic demand in months not years. With over 1000 hand-assembled Epic-M's shipped, there is no doubt in my mind that Epic-X production will scale to very rapidly eclipse that number.
 
Mine was neither a complaint nor a "hurry up". Just a "wonder when"? Thinking out loud can sometimes start a shit storm. I understand that my X will come when it comes. Sorry ......

Ok Thank you for the Answer! I'm not to familiar with there camera Production timelines go. I've been lurking on Reduser.net for awhile, but mostly posting over at Scarletuser.com. I was just trying to figure out how it all worked and possibly what there output could be. Thanks Tim!

Congrats! 1888 seems so far away... but everyday getting closer. Not in a rush for 6353 though... still got to fund my war chest.
