So tell us Jonathan.... how long did it take to get it... We are all trying to figure out when we get our orders.

We ordered ours within about 5 minutes of it going live in the store. Just got it today.

Seriously though, this mount is ROCK SOLID. Smooth as butter, lenses fit like a glove. I'm already in love. Can't wait to get out and shooting!

It's actually my mount in his picture. ;) He's going to be the one using it the most though... According to my email order confirmation from RED, it was ordered on August 26th. Not sure on the time... Email receipt has a time of just after 9:00PM, but I thought I remembered ordering earlier in the day. Anyhoo... it was one of those where it was expected to go live, so I was checking the page about every 5~10 minutes or so and suddenly there it was. I'm thinking RED had a flood of incoming orders when it first went live. A couple other guys in town here rented a Canon mount from somewhere else for a shoot this weekend... Had it shipped in, or the production did. It seems the mounts are steadily rolling out... Not everyone who gets one posts on Reduser. Most don't.
 
To all of us playing the delivery guessing game. Jarred has already been very clear in the 'Backorder Update' thread;

"Backorder Update... – 10-12-2011,
DSMC Ti Canon Mount - First week orders will be delivered between now and the next 2 weeks. Clear Backorder by mid November"
 
Done playing the delivery game, now just praying.. I just think somehow REDs computers processed west coast orders before east coast, because I know by the times people are posting that I ordered before many who have already received..

Thanks Jeff, I promise I'll take good care of it! But yeah, they seem to be getting out pretty quick now. Don't worry folks, they'll come soon enough!

I may shoot a few breathing tests today, I'll report back tonight.
 
So what is the latest update?
is it coming anytime soon?

Does anyone really think that constantly bugging the staff at RED about order status works? They have squarely addressed the backorder situation in several posts that let us know exactly what is going on. Clearly they are working as hard as possible and will ship product out as soon as possible. They have a world class manufacturing group led by Jarred who are killing themselves for us. Remember, Jim ran Oakley - like only the biggest manufacturer of sports gear on the planet! I think they know a thing or two about getting things made. Certainly more than us!! Let's all back off and let them breath!!! Constant posts are not helping!!
 
Sorry for asking

You never know if something is further delayed unless you ask.. It's not meant to speed up the process, it's just meant to help us all with projects on the horizon to plan accordingly.. For example: I would have never known the quad charger is going to be delayed another 2 weeks if a REDuser didn't ask Jarred.. I'm sure RED is doing everything they can, but a little push here and there for information goes a long way sometimes..
 
I figure it's fair to bug my BS rep every other week about this. You could just be patient and wait till something shows up on your door but more than once I've checked in with my rep on something backordered to have him say.... yeah... actually we can ship that out this week. Never hurts to be a squeaky wheel... just not TOO squeaky.

Whenever I get frustrated about missing parts I remind myself that a few months ago I didn't even have an Epic and now I can at least go out and do work with it and then I'm all smiles.
 
Fair enough but reading this from their perspective with what they do for us, upgrades, new products requested by us, we sound like whiny bitches sometimes. And yes, sometimes something comes in and they don't tell us right away, because they have thosands of people calling and emailing them everyday. They will grow even larger and things will go smoother but c'mon stop crying all the time you have to sickest camera on the planet, you should be shooting with it, not complaining on the web.

I'm pretty sure we ordered all most immediately.

I didn't and I feel like I'm not going to see a Canon mount this year. If people that order before it went live on the site are just getting theirs then it seems like someone that ordered a couple weeks after is going to have to wait a very long time.
