  • 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 :)

What EVF res. numbers are shipping now?

Brent@RED said:
We are not in the 300's. We are not going to post a formal (or even informal) schedule, but I have stated in a few places that EVF production will, obviously, have to exceed RED ONE production to allow for the backorder to be bit in to. The gap has been narrowed and it will continue to do so. I think you all will be pleasantly surprised when you get your "Your EVF is ready" email as I think it will exceed the current expectations of the last few posts.

Brent,

Agree that EVF production will need to exceed camera production in order to eliminate the backlog. But we seem to be at about 400 EVFs shipped, against probably 1500 to 1700 cameras shipped. According to Big John, you're ramping from a current production rate of 250 cameras per month to 500 per month in August. That would mean you'd have to be cranking out between 500-750 EVFs PER MONTH (assuming most owners ordered EVFs).

Is that the case? Given the run rates to date, that's a little hard to imagine.

So can you try to be a little less vague? As in, how many have shipped? What is your current run rate? How many EVFs are backordered against current camera numbers?

Or can you at least give us an estimated production run schedule so we can get a rough idea as to when to expect our EVF's?

Thanks,

M
 
Just got the telegram that mine is ready for shipping.

Know it's a cliche by now....but the guys at Red are doing their best.

Bit hard when you're constrained by 3rd party supplier issues.

and you know it's not only Red...the flagship film company ARRI are in the same boat with certain items.

but like always...both company's equipment are more than worth the wait!

Dave,

Hi Dave,

I'm not disputing that Red is doing their best. I know they always do. It's just that I've had to rent an EVF locally for my camera on jobs and their awesome, but I hate having to rent when I've already paid to own one. Money down the toilet.

All I'd like is an an approximate shipping schedule not unlike the cameras, and some explanation as to why they are taking so long... A reasonable request, I think ;)

Cheers,
M
 
No 500 on its way

No 500 on its way

Just to let those still waiting know, I just received the much anticipated e-mail for No 500 !

Starting next week I'll be looking out my window all day, on the look out for a delivery truck :-)

Cheers,
Damien

Mark, I understand your anticipation. But like I said in my last post, all I can say is we are catching up and we are going to keep shipping hundreds a month like we did this month.

Since people in this thread post when they are getting their emails that it is ready, it should be a pretty good indicator of where we are at.

Did you get yours, yet?

Maybe we should make this thread a sticky - just a thought.
 
Hey everyone, just wanted to pass along that I now have my tracking # for my EVF and it will be delivered on Friday. So the same good news should be in store for those that have #'s close to mine (#557) and have received a "get ready" e-mail from Brian.

A very big "thank you" to Brian, Randy, Brent and the Bomb Squad for knocking this out... all that hard work helps us all out. This is going to be awesome...

Cheers,

Andrew
