  • 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 :)

Actually, I'm just practicing my happy announcement when I really do get my birger mount. :whistling:

LOL! Sorry everyone! I couldn't resist! :blush:

It was just too easy of a practical joke. :innocent:
Will you find it in your hearts to forgive me? :love:
 
:waaa: awww... akube...

...don't spoil everyone else's fun when they can't bitch at me and call me names. :bleh:

:)

That's a brilliant point Jason!:)

Now if you really want to piss some people off across the globe, just ask them," You should really do a search..." You will get flogged and "hate pm's", no matter your intention.:)

ps- Paul, your humor is sublime!
 
WOKKA WOKKA WOKKA!

I guess this thread time-traveled from "a week or two" in the future, a.k.a. 2011.
 
It's all Erik's fault. :innocent:

Because if I did have my birger mount, I wouldn't be lurking around here with nothing better to do then to write silly posts.

Right now, my Red One is a beautiful paper weight. :umm:

(Well, actually I'm still waiting on my Red power supply too.)

Anyway... this thread is a little more entertaining then the other birger threads that feel like one of those long car vacations with the kids in the back saying over and over, "Are we there yet? Are we there yet?" :)
 
Yeah... that will be the day! :)

I wonder how many users ordered it?

Anyone else out there with an actual camera that's dead in the water until the birger mount arrives?

I don't want to jump into production and rent lenses until I've had the time to do all my testing. So my canon lens and birger mount affords me a lot of luxury to play with my Red camera without incurring any additional costs. I volunteered my cam to Paul's production, but I guess he was okay and didn't need an extra camera body. :)
 
I got my camera a few months back. The proverbial $20,000 doorstopper. No PL lenses, just waiting for the Birger mount. Would have gotten the Nikon mount if I had known it was going to take this long, but it's hard to justify the $500 cost when that mount is always just "a week or so" away.
 
The good thing... trying to see the positive side as usual... is that I do get a sense that the mounts can be made in large quantities relatively quickly so even if the people at the end of the line won't have to wait too much longer once the production lines starts going.
 
I got the nikon mount, it is a very expensive sliver of metal. But... I can shoot on to my hearts content while I ever so paitently wait for Birger to make it a $500 coaster.
 
I did a double take... had I left to make the donuts... and bumped into myself returning from making the donuts?

Sitting with the software engineer, doing final test on a couple of units right now... next week is now tomorrow... this thing is soooo cooool!

Well I have every confidence in you Eric.

I think a side effect with the internet is that we are all privy to the development process. this can be a good thing or bad thing.

I for one have enjoyed hearing about how it has all come together. I am sure it wil be a quality product.

BTW. Is the wireless FF remote in the current pipeline, or is that more like next year?
