  • 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 :)

The List - Please maintain

How much does the Scarlet-X package from Fedex weigh? I just got notice that a 7lb. package is shipping but I'm thinking it's the LCD/Red Station but my camera was allocated 6 business days ago so it could be either/or. SO# 956

Oh I'm not, but most that you see on here that have been delivered are Al lately. Seems to be a good mix of Al and PL now, but obviously, not Ti. But, if they're ramping up production and allocations now, its only going to get quicker according to their plan. Everything is supposed to be out of backorder by Feb or March, and what I'm saying is at the inclining rate that its going that should be the case. Jarred said he's supposed to post an update about the backorders within a few days. Hopefully its great news.

They changed their out of back-order estimate from Feb to March very quickly. And the March was just a hope. I'm just saying.. read Jim's signature. I don't think they are being coy on shipping just to up the suspense factor. There are a lot of unknowns for them it appears. They don't seem to be able to estimate production output, otherwise they could do what every company does and provide delivery estimates. There's obviously something more complex going on - perhaps supply restrictions, which means we can't rely on a steady output. It would be great to be surprised (see my thread from this morning), but you may want to temper your expectations.

We'll see. If it gets to the end of march and we're still not far from where we are today, then I'll be worried. But considering what they got going on at their manufacturing facilities, Feb/March seems pretty promising. Almost 6 months to a year for a camera that is currently in production, not a tattoo or preproduction run, is completely unrealistic. But who knows, there is always Jim's Signature, lol. :)
 
So#1018 arrived today, Serial #459
Only thing I'm missing now is the side handle.

Can't possibly express how surreal it is to hold the camera knowing I don't have to give it back to anyone.
 
For the list keeper:

SO# 50926

Scarlet # 476 delivered this afternoon.

Good luck guys.

Congrats Luis!! Don't ya LOVE the smell?!
 
Got Fedex notification of 50978, should be in Houston, TX by Friday. I only need either the LCD or side handle at this point. I ordered the camera on the 3rd 1hr after the event online.

Just got word Scarlet will be here tomorrow.
couldn't have worked out better... I got the shipping notice last week for all my accessories (except side handle) and had them shipped ground... they arrive tomorrow.
Just got the overnight shipping notice for the brain... so everything is getting here at once.

Of course, I have a shoot tomorrow.... so I'll be gone all day.
Figures.

(then again, something has to pay for all this new gear, right?)

Congratulations, Luis!!
 
Thanks guys -
hoping to take it to my shoot tomorrow and see if I can't steal a shot or two since we'll be on a lit set... might be better than available light shots in my living room of my dogs.
:)

SCARLET-X S0-51188 (ordered on november 3rd)
 
Skimming through the Backorder thread on Recon. Jarred posted today, that tomorrow will be a great day for a lot of people. I'm sure it has to apply to a lot of the Scarlet people.

Could be touchscreens and Sidehandle's as well perhaps! Congrats to everyone getting Scarlets and Allocations.
 
Whoa, got my allocation notice on Tuesday, paid same day, expected maybe 2 weeks to process/ship, but already got a FedEx notice 2 days later. Just went from waiting purgatory to full steam ahead!

I thought he meant next Friday? I hope he meant this one. Though, unless they have been secretly stockpiling scarlet and not shipping them out, I can't see the update being anything more than a new get-out-of-backorder target date. April now? I don't mean to sound negative, but I've yet to see an instance where new information was an earlier than expected date. Each time the new information solidifies a later than expected date. Again, they wouldn't be withholding shipment information from everyone if the news is good. If they had the ability to say "all scarlets ordered by x date will ship by y date", they would. They've lost orders due to their inability to do so. On the plus side, they are making this all locally in California. That's huge. I'll gladly accept a delay and inability to predict production rates if it means staying local.
