  • 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 :)

Manufacturing Redefined...

You may be right. Perhaps by some point in October they will have caught up on outstanding Epic orders. In that case they could devote an increasing amount of capacity to building up a stockpile of Scarlets in anticipation of the flood of orders in November. My guess would be that is what RED would like to do.

They have an entire RED roadmap of manufacturing - I'm sure what we are seeing here is just the tip of the iceberg and that makes it all so damned exciting. REDRay, projectors, Scarlet, Dragon. This is just the second inning (RED ONE being the first...) of the game.

I can't stop looking at these photos....

Congrats RED TEAM !!! These are truly amazing photos and we are very excited to be here to see things evolve and help RED customers how ever we can.

They were doing just fine until we called a team meeting. :-)

This team can assemble a camera in 13 minutes consistently.

It sounds fast, but why does it take then so long to ship them out? i m mean there are not many shipt so far right?
 
Cool! Thanks for the pictures. Ever since Jim made that Nov 3rd announcement, I've been needing my "What is New at RED" fix.

It refreshing to see Jim showing his American pride, even though I've always considered him an International Man. :)
 
Of course I can't answer that, but my guess would be intensive QC.

But this implies that QC is the bottleneck. I would think they had that planned out.
 
That's not right - I doubt QC is a bottleneck - all of the transactions take longer than you think unless you've actually done one. It can take about two weeks to complete, from the point of the email blast, often longer. The purchaser has to assemble funds, consider accessories package, receive a final billing, do the wire transfer, confirm funds, etc.

This is not like walking into the grocery store. Not yet, anyway. Someday soon, I bet....

Regarding the picture of the cameras on the rack in the "EPIC-X Begins..." Thread:

That is a burn in rack. Every Camera goes through a barrage of hot and cold and room temperature burn in cycles over a period of days.
 
Just a guess. There appears to be a bottleneck somewhere. Who knows? I think in enough time Epics are going to multiply exponentially.

Yeah, maybe it's just lag time between building them, filling the racks, then waiting for the burn-ins to complete. If that's the case, then physically shipping that many cameras at once may create a small bottleneck. Personally, I've missed my important shooting date so I'm no longer so horny to receive my camera as I once was. Not that I'm not wanting it... it is just no longer as critical as it was before.
 
That is a freakin' amazing set of pics.

They remind me of the original Willy Wonka when Mike TeeVee gets shrunken down in the futuristic white room with a giant camera.

Every 13 minutes an Epic gets its wings....

Ha! I knew it reminded me of something, that's definitely it :-)
