  • 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 :)

RAVEN Allocation

It has seriously been almost a month since any person has reported being allocated for a Raven. That includes packages and brain-only orders. Now, of course this doesn't mean that Ravens haven't been shipping, but it would seem very odd that they had been shipping and yet not one person ever stopped by to say they got their Raven. So, while the March 17th date might have been technically met with a handful of units, it's stressing me out that nothing seems to be happening now. I'm in the same boat as many of you. I have jobs coming up that I had intended to use my Raven on. And I ordered within the first 12 hours so I was never expecting allocations to be so slow. I'm still waiting as patiently as I can and I have been pleased with RED's transparency but damn I hope I get my camera at least in May.
With you, if mines not here and running with in two weeks from now I will probably offer up my position in line and cash for an epic dragon, as I have a show starting that I already convinced them to switch from 2 Alexas to 2 Reds...literally only because I know I can get away with the b-cam being a Raven, so by the end of the show it will be paid for. Or maybe I say they are not ready yet and look for a used Amira. Though I know those are hard to come by.
 
Really? I mean... February was a good delivery date (only 5 months of waiting), march okay, april was fine, and if I receive mine by the end of may I am still happy. But end of summer?!?! No... Makes me really, really sad.
 
I've asked authorized dealers around when I was considering placing an order for the RAVEN and here's their general responses.
Samy's DV [Based in US] - Said that they are expecting stock/delivery soon, but can't give an exact date. = I assume that means within the next few weeks to a month, within May?
CVP [Based in London/UK] - Said they are "waiting for stock which should be within the next month" = Within May/June.
AV8 [Based in Singapore/Asia] - Said that delivery time [for perhaps exclusively my order - placed on 21st April] is probably going to be August/September = Much later than June

This of course is only what the dealers have said/estimated/guessed/were told, timelines from RED shipments might be different/behind.
Also, this is only from dealers, people that have placed orders directly with RED might receive their allocations/shipments earlier or later (however it seems that it's most likely later than dealers receiving stock).

Hopefully this gives some idea of when you might receive your RAVEN.
 
Is there a way to tag poor jordan levy? �� I believe he ordered 15 min after so he's not far behind.
 
I also just received my Raven allocation. I/O package ordered 30 min in. It's happening folks.
