[Michael Stanmore]

Oh my god. I completely forgot... Everyone's been so wrapped up in the 1st 25.

[wshultz]

I thought this Fridays shipments were delayed due to IBC.

[Craig Bowman]

No, its the numbers 51-100 delayed by IBC.

[Jannard]

26-50 will be delivered tomorrow (Friday the 7th). 51-100 will be delivered from Sept. 22-25th.

[Greg M]

thanks for the update.

[Kevin Halverson]

This is wonderful news!

[Emanuel A.]

26-50 will be delivered tomorrow (Friday the 7th). 51-100 will be delivered from Sept. 22-25th.

JimThanks my fiancé... :) It seems our 1st marriage is closer. October 10th, right? I hope to have it for my birthday seven days away from there. Actually, this will be my personal camera, no rentals at all! At least, since my official 2nd one. 31 days later, I hope.

[Greg M]

Should we expect a call about our orders or are we suppose to call Red to finalize order details?

[Rick Darge]

I probably won't get an answer.. but since you're rolling out 51-100 over the course of three days.. I wonder what RED will do for later orders where they're rolling out 400 new cams in one chunk.. will the release of 400 cameras in November be stretched out by a few days or weeks?

[Häakon]

51-100 will be delivered from Sept. 22-25th.

Jim
This is fantastic news, Jim. Thank you for your endless work ethic and for taking care of your customers so well.

[Eric MacIver]

Do you know if the Oct. 10th date is still accurate?

[doondoon]

26-50 will be delivered tomorrow (Friday the 7th). 51-100 will be delivered from Sept. 22-25th.

Jim

I'm number 75. So I can pick it up as early as Sept. 22 or as late as Sept. 25th, right. I'm LA local and will be right down to the wire on a project shooting the first week in October which I intend to shoot on RED.
thanks.

[Morning Glory]

I just assumed being #98 my day is the 25th. but I would love to know....



phew, I'm getting kinda dizzy all of the sudden. this is just FAR TOO REAL!





thanks again, and again, and again, to Jim, your clear intent and vision, and the whole red team for everything the have done and will continue to do for all of us.

[Kenn Michael]

Ooooohhhh..... what about the next 100 after Sept. 22-25??? I'm like a crack fiend lookin for my Red 187 fix!! :)

It's really hard containing the excitement!

[Jannard]

We are doing the best we can... we have some supplier issues that are causing us grief but we are working around the issues. Seems like we get a new surprise everyday.

Jim

[Kevin Halverson]

The more material and outside process suppliers that one has just raises the possibility that one or more of them will manage to screw up even the best laid plans. Its just the nature of a manufacturing endeavor and no surprise at all. I am certain that RED and everyone involved is doing their best.

Thanks Jim for the update.

Dumb question perhaps...

How does the Red get to us? Or do we go to it? (I'm UK based)

If it's shipped to us, any chance of getting it shipped within a Peli Case (like the few I saw in the "unwrap" photos with laser cut padding, that were blow-torch branded)??

Not that I don't trust carriers - it's that I just don't trust them. I've lost $10K's worth of kit in transit mainly through damage. If the carrier wrecks my Red, the last thing I need is to go to the end of the order line after the insurance company pays up.

And even if I hop on a plane, with the security issues these days, it'll have to go in the hold (where it's carefully stowed by monkeys). Do we need to worry about X-Ray machines causing damage?

Curiously the Red camera resembles a "Hollywood" suitcase bomb... Air travel is just going to be fun.

No worries. RED is so tough they just slap a FEDEX label on one side of the body and sticker on the other side that says "Do Your Worst".

My Red didn't ship today. I'm hoping Monday goes well. Get good rest guys!

I flew down last week, when the original ship date was, but then mine wasn't ready. I still had an awesome time though. It was the Willy Wonka Golden Ticket :-)

I can't afford to fly down or even drive down again so soon :-)

[Keith Alan Morris]

oh right, i read that somewhere.

that must've sucked. jk

its hard to keep things straight when i have to bounce around the board so much to get all the info.

but as far as the wait goes, it will only make monday THAT much better. enjoy the looooong weekend. :-)

[Poi Boy]

OK ! I am very sorry 26 to 50 but you will all have to forfeit your resrvations for lack of cooperation.

[Jannard]

We had a good time with Shawn and his dad, John, at RED DAY 1. We will ship his camera out pronto. He gets the added bonus of a new firmware.

No, I wasn't confused. I had a fantastic time seeing Jim again and the crew. I'm an engineer by degree, so I know the process, I am more than happy to let Jim have all the time he needs to ship my unit, as long as I'm still in my place in line! Red Day was a dream come true, I was honored to be there.

It was a big highlight for me Jim. Invite me back anytime ;-)

New firmware? Sweet!! Anything new since Red Day?

[Jason Diamond]

I just had a look and touch of camera 51 tonight. Man, thats a nice looking Rig.
I am still salivating. It was standing beside the SI 2K and it just oozed quality.
December can't come fast enough.

Camera #51?

[Shawn Nelson]

Are you serious? Did #51 actually get delivered?

[IAN SUN]

That is correct, cameras 50 and 51 to the same company, they flew down to pick up the cameras on Friday. First REDs in Toronto as far as I know.

[Finner]

Are you serious? Did #51 actually get delivered?

Hey Shawn they sent me #27 last week to give a test run with. Its a great camera and you would not believe how durable it is. I have beat the crap out of it and it is only a little louder when running then it first was.

[Sean R.]

Yeah Shawn knows what's really up with #27. I have a feeling you guys will be slobbering all over his 4K footy real soon.

[Roberto B]

[George A.]

We also got RED #27 for a day, over here in Mexico, for extensive, various tests.

The paint job is superb, it really takes its toll on you when you try to scratch the body. 10 minutes and a gallon of sweat later, and I only managed to inflict five tiny scratches, about 15 inches long each.

Same with the sensor, you really have to scrub sand on it to see results. Shooting directly into the sun won't show anything wrong with the picture, though.

We shipped it back today for other tests, after which I am being told it will be delivered to its legitimate owner.

[Roberto B]

eheheheheh.. sorry shawn.. this is contagious..

[Mark Thorpe]

#27 got returned from Palau after I done some uhhhhh 'humidity' tests, urrrrrmmmmm, your wife got a hairdryer mate? I knew I should have waited for that housing.......:blink: I guess they somehow got it confused with #954, hmmmm, strange.

[Roberto B]

ehehehehe..

hey mark, we're waiting for more sexy ones.. :wink:

Planning to shoot a short with #27 at the weekend, will let you know it goes!

Stephen:biggrin:

[Álex Montoya]

Please, keep us updated, Stephen.

[Moir]

Yeah Shawn knows what's really up with #27. I have a feeling you guys will be slobbering all over his 4K footy real soon.

So Shawn's getting the first Red with overcranking...?

[Andrew Benz]

Connections get you everything...:sorcerer: :biggrin:

Go Shawn...:weight_lift:

[George A.]

We are dismayed, today we got back RED #27 in the mail, returned as "undeliverable".

The bad news: I opened up the metal case and I realized I forgot to put in any foam or bubble wrap when I shipped the camera.

The good news: the camera took the beating like a champ, and the general consensus here (after long deliberations) is that it still resembles a RED.

HOWEVER, with all the good news, we are currently experiencing difficulties when we are trying to power up the camera. We haven't seen anything wrong with the insides, but are working on it. In the meantime, we are also looking into finding the right address to ship this marvel.

[Clayton Harper]

PLEASE STOP! You guys are SO CRUEL :biggrin:

Poor Shawn is probably ripping his hair out by now!

[Jochen Schmidt-Hambrock]

Have you tried connecting mains power to the sensor directly? (provides some stunning images)
Make sure to wear earplugs.

[albert rudnicki]

It does work, but only using 220 V current.

[George A.]

We tried that and while it produced some truly spectacular, eye-popping sparks it achieved nothing in the end. We did need to solder the sensor back in place, but it's fine.

Any other suggestions? We need to fix this soon.

[Shawn Nelson]

Dang it, I kept getting these random calls from all over the place this last weekend! It must have been #27 calling me saying he was homesick. Poor little 27...
:-)

[George A.]

Dear Shawn,

We are happy we finally know who is the proud owner of Red #27! Please don't worry, everything is in order.

Can you confirm that this is indeed the item? We tried to ship it today but we were refused by the Mexico National Postal Office, we will try a different avenue. We'll make sure it gets to you safely.

All the best Shawn.

[Sean R.]

You guys are jacked up. Messin with someone's RED is just messing with their emotions.

[Jochen Schmidt-Hambrock]

We tried that and while it produced some truly spectacular, eye-popping sparks it achieved nothing in the end.

Trying that, did you notice any compression artefacts on the HDMI output? If yes, this camera is a clear warranty case.......

[Mark Thorpe]

"OK, just tried the 36v direct feed, slight glimmers of life but then........uhhhh, sorry mate, its a lost cause".........:waaa:

"OK, now where's the straightening Gel"?

[George A.]

I read someplace that his ex-girlfriends are complaining he's exactly the same down there, which complicates matters extensively. Don't know if it's true, though.
