  • 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 :)

I must ask

All details will be presented before NAB.

Jim
 
Jim, do you feel comfortable giving a ballpark figure for the completion of Stage 2? If not, would it be possible to let us know how many Stage 2 people there are vs. Stage 3? Right now you're giving us a 3 1/2 month window for Epic-X deliveries, so it would be really helpful to know where we are in line.

Thanks,
Julio

Is it safe to assume most/all accessories that go with Epic-X will be shipping in numbers too by NAB?

EVFs, and perhaps most importantly, SSDs?

The only holdup are some of the rear modules. They are going through a quick re-design. EVFs, SSDs, LCDs, etc. should not be a problem. Customers can certainly wait for their order until everything ships, or take what is available.

Packages will need to be paid in full even if some components aren't ready (will let you know which those are before you pay). You can always wait until everything is ready.

How about larger LCDs?

It would be very useful of knowing some time guestimates on that before cams are ready, regarding purchasing decisions.

Please consider an option for us that are ready to order (stage 4) but who can't get to NAB because of we have prior gigs. Happy to place an order with (Alan) RED Europe during the NAB period.

We'll give very good visibility before NAB.

Cool. Thanks, appreciate it.
 
Jim - any chance you could comment at all about any updated plans for Scarlet? Ordering, delivery windows, packages, pricing? (ouch - I know that one won't fly just yet :-)

Personally, I'll be at NAB no matter what, but it would be fun to have an idea of what to expect going forward.

Thanks for any information!

Jim,

I posted on this before, and Brent took me up on it... will Stage 3 people be able make a full payment, accept a partial EPIC delivery - *and* retain their R1 and not ship it back to RED for trade-in until such time as the delayed parts of the order are delivered? In case they need some capability that's on the missing module or whatever...

Thanks

No... this is a logistical nightmare. Trade-ins come back and we ship what we have. Or the transaction waits. We bend over backwards but at some point we break.

Jim
 
I'm assuming by NAB time, details about what's still waiting with (subject to change) estimated times for those things to appear in stock for shipping would become available?

I ask not for the rear modules or anything but mostly about the different electronic mounts as I'd love to get hold of Nikon one but I swear there was something before about Canon first then Nikon after but nothing on when either would happen...

Not a problem with me taking delivery as I really want a RED Electronic lens to boot with the EPIC so PL mount is cool but I have a few other Nikon lenses that would like to get themselves some EPIC loving

EDIT:

I'm only asking with that assumption since I'm also guessing that everything previously said in the past will gain a present reference right before NAB

The current plan is to begin shipping EPIC-X Stage 2 before NAB in April, ship all EPIC-X Stages complete before mid July... and all EPIC-X orders taken at NAB (from new customers) by end of summer. EPIC-Ms are currently being made and will continue to be made as people want them.

Any minor delays we have had getting production of EPIC-X started has been supply chain related. We are working through the issues and the team is very focused.

That's great news! So I guess I'll have to bring my credit card. Or all 3 of them. Plus the ones from my girlfriend, my dog, ok I'll stop now... Looking forward to meeting y'all!
 
Will there be online ordering?
Or do you actually have to go to NAB to order?

RED had a limit to how much you put on a credit card when the REDones first shipped. My guess is that policy still is in place and that only 5k-10k could be placed on a card for new customers wanting an Epic. Existing customers may get more of a break.

Hehe, yeah, just being silly. Unfortunately, I don't own a black master card, so paying that amount of money with a cc is out of question anyway. But thx anyway.
