Congratulations!

So can I come in and cash out a camera the same day?

You would need to pre-arrange that with Brent or Kelly... if you just showed up it probably wouldn't be the best idea :)

I absolutely knew that this was going to happen sooner then later, definitely before the 13th:) Truly a milestone BRAVISSIMI!!!

That's great news RED Team! You must be stoked to be in that status with RED One before launching the new product info this Thursday...very, very cool indeed.

Holy Crap! Well done guys and gals.

Hey, so how many cameras are actually out there in the wild now?

Brook Willard

11-10-2008, 05:05 PM

Congratulations, guys. I can't quite imagine how much work it was... but well done.

So how many cameras have shipped now?

Joel Kaye

I'm reading this sorta the opposite way. Unless RED's manufacturing has ramped up then demand has finally slowed to the point that they've caught up. From a buyer standpoint that's great... but from RED's standpoint - hmmm.

Guess it's about the right time to announce Scarlet with REDish specs. They'd sell a couple hundred thousand of those.

Congrats to all at RED, past and present! - in less than 2 years no less!

- on the eve of another milestone....

Chris Parker

11-10-2008, 07:14 PM

congrats everyone. you should all take some time off, get drunk, and look back at the amazing job you did for all of us.

then get ready, cuz mr. j's little announcement on the 13th will ensure next year is even busier......

personal thanks to justin who has given me amazing service.

Mitch Gross

11-10-2008, 07:23 PM

Impressive. How is the backorder on various accessories? I know a number of them are caught up as well. If someone were to place a fairly well-rounded order today would they get prompt delivery of most everything? 18-85 doesn't count as it obviously needs a chance to catch up.

Jared Caldwell

11-10-2008, 08:18 PM

Congratulations Jim, Jarred, and Red Team. I know this has to be a huge relief for all of you. Now you can be fully prepared for the new stuff. Exciting! :)

Rick Darge

11-10-2008, 08:27 PM

There goes the used premium market! And to think Red's were going for $10k over their face value just 9 months ago.. Seriously, this rocks.. I feel even more secure now, knowing I can get a body in less than a week.

Mitch Martinez

11-10-2008, 09:01 PM

way cool. congrats!

how are you guys doing on catching up for the 50-150mm lenses?

Brian Broz

11-10-2008, 10:00 PM

So do all the new cameras ship with release build 17?!
I've been holding off on upgrading but if new cameras are shipping with release 17 then I'm more likely to make the jump!
(Lots of the larger rental house cameras in town are still on B15 !)

Maybe now you can take a little, very well deserved break.

Time to switch boss. 17 is the new 6.

And 1:1 zoom is insanely amazingly great.

IBloom

You can say that again, didn't realize how much I needed it, until I upgraded.

They did ramp up rather quickly though.

Camera 2001 on started shipping in July. that's 4 months ago. It took almost six months for production to get past the initial 500. From 2401 through 5300 and incoming orders has taken less than four months.

No rest for the wicked, huh? :) Look for an update on Big Jon's sticky soon that will have updated accessory information: http://www.reduser.net/forum/showthread.php?t=7464 .

The real credit here goes to the incredible Brent and Kelly duo.. and of course the Bombsquad... those guys busted their asses over the last couple months getting us all caught up.. each one of them had to literally double, sometimes triple their daily workload to make this possible.

The dedication of your staff is beyond the norm of reality. I am NOW a firm RED believer that "… you do what you say; and you say what you do". I await the Scarlet so I can get started on my Broadcast Productions.

I can testify from personal experience that Brent never sleeps...he regularly responds to my emails after 10pm. I'm beginning to wonder if he is a real person or if 4 people call themselves Brent. :)

He isn't the only one. I've swapped emails with Randy after 10PM on more than one occasion.

Must felt like a long race that finally got to the end.
...and Brent, thanks again and again.

This is a great accomplishment. I know you guys have taken some heat over the delivery schedule over the past year, but the reality is, this needed time to mature, to get up to speed. It sounds to me like the new cameras and accessories will be released in a much smoother timeline, as I'm sure you guys have come up with new manufacturing procedures and protocols that will make things more efficient.

I for one appreciate all of the effort the whole team has put in, and I think it's time we tip our caps to Jim as well and say thanks for taking this crazy idea of a 4K camera from concept to reality and assembling a team that could actually pull it off. I admire any man that stays up later and works harder than I do, especially one that doesn't really have to, but choses to do so because he's passionate about what he does.

Thanks guys!

Congratulations on this considerable milestone. One of many I'm sure.

I have never had a more satisfying experience dealing with a company.

RED's level of service is every bit as revolutionary as the design and technology behind the camera.

I also appreciate Nate Heartt and his help getting me through several issues during and after the purchase of my camera.

You all have something special there.

I wonder what it was like the day that sent the last of the back-ordered cameras out the door. Trumpets and angels? Confetti?

Nice work and thanks to all the men and women who work behind the scenes to keep the trains moving on time and the RED cameras flowing.
