This was the best birthday present I ever had. I am turning 45 and feel like a little kid unwrapping new toys. And, wow, what toys they are....

Justin - you are a champion, very professional, responsive and helpful. My big thank you, mate!

Kelly and Jon, as I said, I am speechless and in debt to you. Your commitment and good will are what makes RED so special. I have never experienced such a great treatment from any other company. You saved my shoot, which I waited for 5 years and which will not be possible for another 18 months. I hope one day I will be able to give something in return.

This company is not just about the camera, which is unmatched. Even greater asset are all the dedicated individuals and the entire Red Team as a group.

Last, but not least, I would like to thank this community and, in particular, DogDay. Without him and his generosity this would have not been possible. You have big credit here, trust me.

Well, now I am packing and panicking before the expedition to a bare rock in the middle of the Southern Ocean :cold: Hopefully the weather and animals will cooperate.

What did FedEx deliver?

A brand spanking new #1365 :love: and so many accessories that it took me 2 hours to unwrap and assemble :)
