June Update

As just to clarify, Craig, I don't think you were being annoying by asking. We're all curious and excited!

That's not what was annoying. It's that when anyone else had asked the same question he just did, he charmed in with his smart comment "Honestly just get on with making films and enjoying life and your creations. Your allocation email will turn up when it turns up!...". And now he asks the same questions he had those wise ass comments for.

If you don't have anything nice to say, it's best to say nothing at all :).

Heh... that was the rule my mother lived by. But I could always tell if she agreed with me about my opinion, positive or negative, about someone local or even someone in the news. I could tell because she would say nothing if she disagreed. If she agreed, she would say so. '-)

What if your mom only communicated to you via an internet forum. Would she then chime in all the time? :-) I joke of course.

That seems to be what we, as humans, do. I am happy that RU requires real names. Things are much worse when people can post under some cryptic username. I remember when RU first switched over to real names and some people were not happy. One excuse always given was "I can't post then because my company won't want me posting here for reasons x, y and z." Its more like, "I can't say insulting things to you because you might punch me in the nose if we ever met in person." :)

I was one of those unhappy ones. But my reason was that I did not want my true identity all over the Internet due to privacy concerns.

Like Fats Waller said in the song The joint is jumpin' when the speakeasy was being raided "Don't give your right name." '-)

hahaha, looks like that was an ol' "Looks like Jarred is handing out Weapon upgrades so I better make a level-headed post telling everyone to calm down" comment!

Post of the year right here.

I used to love coming to RU. Between the suck up "I want a free Weapon" and to be "cool guy" posts its tough to even want to read some parts of this site. The complainers don't help either.

Phil, I have a question for you. Maybe your new website can tell me this, but I will ask you here. The FOV at 6K HD with the 85mm Otus. What focal length will I need for the same FOV at 8K HD? This is where I wish the next Otus is around 100mm.

Guess I will answer my own question. :)

85mm on 6K HD (5568x3132) is 119mm on 8K HD (7680x4320) Here is the math used:
CF = sqrt(7680^2 + 4320^2) / sqrt(5568^2 + 3132^2)

85mm * CF == 119mm

Looks like I will go for the Zeiss 135mm APO 2.0.

Sorry Stacey! I missed this one! Busy times between the tools project, writing, meetings, and prepping. I'm about to vanish for 8-10 weeks of filming. I apologize in advance :)

There may be suck up posts but there's still an incredible amount of useful stuff being posted here. Don't give up on it just yet.
 
Can this thread stay on topic ;)
waiting for first of two Ravens (ordered on second day) and have a buyer for my scarlet mx kit but can't sell without knowing when I will get Raven :(
so any metrics that can be shared would be nice - coukd be #ravens fabricated or shipped - if that is sensitive info then maybe order day % fulfilled? At least then I could gauge if I should tell the buyer to wait or go find another camera. I can't make them wait even if I have to.
 
I think it got lost in the shuffle, but I think it would still be very useful to know - maybe on a weekly basis - what timestamp was last allocated for each camera (maybe also split to brain only / v-lock / jetpack). That way we can see progress as it's happening and make our own extrapolations from there.

Jarred and Brent, please give us enough info so we can widely speculate even more!!
 
Curious if anybody has heard of any Scarlet-Ws that have been allocated since April?

Answered similar post on another thread. Unless you know how many we are shipping a day, that info would be generally useless to you. And may even do more harm than good as - sometimes - people take info like that and make assumptions that others in the forum take as fact.

Yes : )
 
Only two more weeks (give or take) until the JULY UPDATE!!!
 
Negative, Clayton.
Quite a few of us are active here and relevant FB groups. Haven't heard a peep. However, that doesn't mean allocations aren't happening. It simply means they're not being reported. Kinda like USA primary exit polls.....
