The Mother of all Backorder Updates

[Mark Phelan]

XL's will not fit in the Side Handle. And you need the Quad Charger to charge the XLs, they will not charge on the single travel charger. Speaking of the Quad Chargers.. the new round of pre-production units came in and they are badass.... one of you guys need to put up their hands so I can let you test one of the prototypes out for a bit.

My hands are in the upright and locked position.

Jarred - I picked up a Quad Module for my Scarlet and I am loving it - good form factor for tripod work, I think.

I was going to buy another single charger but I'd rather wait for the Quad, and also see how the XL's are working out. Fedex to NorCal isn't very expensive!!

The XLs are 90 w/h, right; vs. 30 for the Regular RVs?

 

[Andrew Martin]

Ah damn, late again to the testing doh! Would love to test one out this side of the pond Jarred.

Any idea when the DSMC Battery Belt clip will be back out of backorder?

Double down on this

Uh oh. Mine (I think) is on its way. These days I'm always wondering if something going into backorder means there's an upgrade coming. Is there one planned for the belt clip, RED team? Also, an update on the DSMC sidehandle would be great.

How things are looking with DSMC Tactical Top plate?

I'm about to get a top plate and trying to decide between RED and VF

I ordered DSMC Tactical Top plate on December 17. I received my allocation email yesterday.
Maybe it will be out of backorder very soon.

I ordered on February 18th and it's supposed to arrive today, so I guess it's on its way out of backorder.

Anyone receiving their EPIC-X Stage II Quad Battery module?

Haven't had any news about this one lately...

 

[Jan Reiff]

"in stock" means "in stock" ?

"in stock" means "in stock" ?

the biggest issue for us in europe is, that products "in stock" are actually not in stock in europe (tell me if i am wrong)

waiting weeks for a simple redvolt battery ... from all stuff that is officially "in stock" - nothing appeared at our studios ...

Has anyone recieved side handles? I ordered mine December 15th

 

[William Seale]

Based on this thread there are a few Side Handles trickling out but there are people from early November who are still waiting on their's:

Jared's estimate of mid-April seems to have some merit, so I wouldn't hold your breath (put another way - my December 5th Scarlet kit is coming today minus the Side Handle according to my BS rep, and based on Jared's post plus that thread I'm assuming it will be late March at the earliest for mine).

Scarlet's breaching the 1800+ mark... hoooooooo-yeah....

 

[Andrew Huse]

Thanks William for the link. I will be following that thread closely. Hopefully side handles will start to pick up

...Same boat as William, +2 weeks... Rep gave the same estimate on the side handle, late March.

Same timing Andrew here, but haven't seen anything yet. There are apparently some pieces for the handles that are in low supply, just what I've been told. Hope the April time frame is close, would love to have mine.

I ordered mine around the same time you did. Hopefully we both get ours around late March

Late March early April would be fantastic! Otherwise I'm tethered to a wall outlet using the AC adapter hehe

Battery plate adapter handheld and tripod shooting works for me now.

Battery plate adapter handheld and tripod shooting works for me now.

I set mine up using a old RED One Battery plate, my old RED One Base plate and rails, RED cradle and a couple of adapters in the meantime, working very well. See the photos. At least I can shoot with it all now.

I only just got my side handle availability email three or four days ago and I ordered November 5th. Canon mount also on its way ordered in January.
