Birger Reservation Update

[Erik Widding]

We have had some challenges getting our webstore online. We will be releasing a manual form that can be faxed in for reservations when I get back from my mini-vacation on friday.

I have not had the time to read any posts since late last week. I am writing now, on a boat to the Cape, and will not be reading or responding to any of these posts until I return on Friday.

On the development front... a prototype is on one of the named cameras. The first production boards came back on monday. We expect to start shipping limited production units to a few of the earliest beta testers next week. Full production is slated for about three weeks.

We are all excited here at Birger for the extraorinary level of interest in our soon to be released product.

Erik, if possible please get a proto to IBC. I would love to see it working and many of my lens options will be decided after Amsterdam as I'm sure many others will.

I had hoped the LART team might give us some insight into this before the reservations closed. Are we still looking at September 11th? or do you intend to extend it? Maybe till after LART could test a working model?

Cheers

Also, could you please give us an update of what features will be supported and schedule for different lens mounts? And maybe explain how it fits together with the Red grip?

[Ken Corben]

Hmmm? Take a vacation when the cameras are finally released :-) Well deserved I'm sure.

Thanks for the hard work and foresight to create a product that will benefit many redusers. Maybe even more so for us underwater guys.

In this case tomorrow's the day!

Mike,

Shouldn't you be in the machine shop tooling up for the RED housings instead of hanging out on reduser :-)

[Greg Voevodsky]

I read somewhere that you might be working on a RED auto focus that would tap into the SUPER FOCUS at some point.

My question is - is it possible to have that adapted to the RED lenses and motors? If so, do you plan on doing that to?

[PaulClements]

I'm guessing the reservation date has been put back for the Mounts Eric. Given that it's two days till you expected to close orders and I for one haven't seen any links to forms or a web store posted.
