That's great news!

[Rick Darge]

Yes yes yes.. How is JANUARY cooking?

[Alexander Nikishin]

Come to Papa #194! :nerd:

[NEXTLEVEL]

Jannard which numbers are being shiped.

[Stephen Pruitt]

This is great news, indeed!

I'm pumped!!!

How about if you roll out another 400 in January, too???

Stephen

[Larry McKee]

I'd be happier with another 1000. ;)

[Craig Meadows]

Come on #271!!!

[Daniel Reichenbach]

Question: Haven't get a mail with the confirmation of my accesories list, of my several mails with the question, WHERE I can put the money. So how will I have a CHANCE to get delivered 222 when I don't get the CHANCE to communicate to REDsales?

[J.D. Frey]

Jannard which numbers are being shiped.

we're #291 and we got our email last week- just waiting for our shipping info which should show up some time today.

[Craig Bowman]

I'll be waiting for the final tally!

[Mark Pedersen]

Jim,

Great news! And thanks for the awesome dedication to getting the PL mount perfected, as well as all the improvements and the new build. Can't wait to get my hands on my camera. Can you update the shipping schedule for the next couple of months? Would really like to see where 1545 falls in the schedule! :)

Thanks Red team,

M

[Álex Montoya]

Don't forget to post some footage of the new cameras, people.

[Charles Perkins]

Great!

does this mean you could give us an updated shipping schedule for the rest?

[Jay A. Kelley]

Oh my God.. This means I'm next month... I'm really excited about this!

Jay

[Frank Mirbach]

Wow, that sounds we could get ours earlier than expected ! Not bad :)

[Justin Kirchhoff]

excellent news Jim and team. hard work pays off with happy customers :)

[Brent@RED]

Daniel (and everyone in #101-#300) -

About 10 days ago, we sent an email to all RED ONE reservation holders with initial "get ready, your camera is coming" details. Later today, we plan to send out a "we are shipping #101-#300, the sooner you pay, the sooner we can start processing your order" email. Both emails have lists of what you have on order in our system.

If for some reason, you did NOT get this initial email from RED, please contact us at orders@red.com. As you can imagine, we are getting a ton of emails these days so please be patient as we get through each one as quickly as possible.

Thanks, BC

[Daniel Gourley]

Holy *&##*!

I need to check with my business partner and get him to respond. HERE COMES #249!!!!

[BASSAM MSSALATIE]

congrats everyone recieved shipping emails hope things going faster.:greedy:

[Craig Bowman]

Holy *&##*!

I need to check with my business partner and get him to respond. HERE COMES #249!!!!

I know exactly what you mean. Everyone is on holidays right now including my account manager at the bank. But they'll all be back by the 7th and maybe the Red Drives will be ready at that time.

[J.D. Frey]

got a check burning a hole in my pocket!

[Radoslav Karapetkov]

Hey you lucky N: 100-300 folks :).

Give us a hint when you get your baby, so that we know that the RED avalanche is already on its way.

[vincelucero]

Thanks for the incredible perserverance Brent and RED team. We appreciate it during the holidays especially. Got instruction on the wire transfer and will be doing that TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!

[Rick Darge]

I don't mean to harp again, but will the rest of us get an updated shipping schedule? With the start of this next 200, are we looking at a month to month shipping or do you anticipate more beta-test delays?

[mezmo]

With this number of cameras delivered 1-300, beta testing
should stop here IMHO. Otherwise if Red has to go back to the shop on a regular basis it's not a viable system for professional use.
Let's hope this is the end of Red beta and the start of 'Red Better Best'.
If this is the case, well done all on the Red team and the very best for
New Year.
Mezmo

[Jannard]

We are now beginning normal production. Numbers should begin coming up pretty quickly.

Jim

[Gian Joon]

REDONE 102 has already landed.

Well done everone at RED TEAM

[I Bloom]

Let the games begin!... on footage field test section.

[Rick Darge]

We are now beginning normal production. Numbers should begin coming up pretty quickly.

Jim

Can't wait. Thanks Jim.

[Radoslav Karapetkov]

How does it feel? :blush:

[Justin Kirchhoff]

Jim


I'm pretty sure you just made me poo myself....I'm just sayin'.

[Mark Thorpe]

Hey talking of Poo, what ever happened to the scratch and sniff diversionary tactic yielding transportation module for our beloved??

Great news regarding production. I'd better get shopping for accessories eh?

Cheers,
Mark.

[Gian Joon]

How does it feel? :blush:

Hi Karepetkov

Tonaci Tran is the lucky owner of 102. I just came to know that he has just received it.


Though I donot own it, But every camera coming out from RED makes me proud..... :bleh:

[Mark Pedersen]

Dear Red team,

I believe the last posted schedule looked like this:

Serial numbers 1-50 Delivered
Serial numbers 51-100 Begins October 15th (50 units)
Serial numbers 101-200 Begins October 30th (100 units)
Serial numbers 201- 600 Begins November 30th (400 units)
Serial numbers 601- 1100 Begins December 30th (500 units)
Serial numbers 1101- 1600 Begins January 30th (500 units)
Serial numbers 1601- 2200 Begins February 30th (500 units)
Serial numbers 2201- 2700 Begins March 30th (500 units)
Serial numbers 2701- 3400 Begins April 30th (700 units)
Serial numbers 3401- 4100 Begins May 30th (700 units)

Obviously a lot has changed since this was posted, and we know you guys are busting your butts to get cameras out the door, but could we please see an updated schedule along these lines, factoring in all current production realities?

I don't think anyone will hold your collective feet to the fire if it varies a bit, we'd just like to get a current snapshot for those with camera orders beyond the first 300. It would help those of us running businesses.

Thanks!

[Jannard]

We expect to get production up to 400 cameras for January and 500-600 February on. 700 units by May.

That is a rough schedule. We have been late in the past so we are hesitant to post a firm schedule and be late again. But this is what we are thinking- today.

Jim

[Emanuel A.]

Congrats and thanks!

E. :-)

[number6]

Jim, any ballpark month when the new Nikon mounts will be available?

[Jannard]

Jim, any ballpark month when the new Nikon mounts will be available?

We have our hands full... as soon as we can get to it.

Jim

[number6]

We have our hands full... as soon as we can get to it.

Jim

That soon? I expected it to take longer:biggrin:

[Jannard]

number6... when will you put a real number by your avatar?

Jim

[number6]

You mean like 1783 and 1918?

[C.H.Haskell]

600 units for February on would be amazing Jim, crossing my fingers and wish you all well.

best

[Jannard]

You mean like 1783 and 1918?

Put them on your profile!

Jim

[Mark Pedersen]

Thanks, and I understand the hesitation to commit. But just to clarify, do you mean 400 additional cameras out the door in January, and 500-600 cameras per month starting in February? (not up to camera number 400 in January...)

If so, that's great. Cheers!

O.K., but I sure hate to advertise that it took so long to "get it"... about the camera, I mean.

[Mark Pedersen]

What I figured. :)

[Esmaile Neissi]

Thanks jim for good news

[Paolo Tinari]

it's coming...

[Chris Kenny]

Hmm... time to start transferring money around and refining our accessory selections, it looks like. Hope #404 doesn't show up too far ahead of our Birger mount. Though we can always rent PL lenses in the interim, I guess.

Jim, any hint on what the timing is going to be like on those 400 January cameras? Is it going to be 100 a week, or one big shipment toward the end of the month, or what?

[Rick Darge]

That's what I'd love to know as well..

[Frank Mirbach]

Man, seems we got to get clear about our accessories sooner that I thought :)

[Radoslav Karapetkov]

Jim

Jim, what's happening in March and April ? I don't expect to be 2 months delay tho. I'm a little bit restless of the unsure schedule

[Tony Lorentzen]

Urgh - looks like I won't be able to pick up my camera in person AND fly to NAB at the same time.

[Fergus Meiklejohn]

So best case scenario, that would be:

#'s 200-600 delivered in January
#'s 600-1200 delivered in February
#'s 1200-1800 delivered in March
#'s 1800-2400 delivered in April
#'s 2400-3100 delivered in May

[BASSAM MSSALATIE]

hope will gonna be faster..:usd:

[albert rudnicki]

So best case scenario, that would be:

#'s 200-600 delivered in January
#'s 600-1200 delivered in February
#'s 1200-1800 delivered in March
#'s 1800-2400 delivered in April
#'s 2400-3100 delivered in May

This is very optimistic speculation :weight_lift:
If you look back they were always delays on the estimated delivery.
I would say: that the #2000 will be reached by May only.
Hope I am wrong...

[Eirik Tyrihjel]

So best case scenario, that would be:

#'s 200-600 delivered in January
#'s 600-1200 delivered in February
#'s 1200-1800 delivered in March
#'s 1800-2400 delivered in April
#'s 2400-3100 delivered in May

Since you are talking best case scenario.... you should start with 301-700 january and work from there, since "technically" it seems 101-300 are shipping before new years (for those who were home to check mail and had time to go to the bank...)

A revised BEST CASE scenario "let´s pray and HOPE shipping schedule" would then read:
#'s 301-600 delivered in January
#'s 701-1300 delivered in February
#'s 1301-1900 delivered in March
#'s 1901-2500 delivered in April
#'s 2501-3300 delivered in May

[number6]

I wonder how all the primary 100 being re-gifted starting in January will affect the schedule? Another variable in the equation.

[BASSAM MSSALATIE]

#'s 301-600 delivered in January
#'s 701-1300 delivered in February
#'s 1301-1900 delivered in March
#'s 1901-2500 delivered in April
#'s 2501-3300 delivered in May


i like Delivered :blink: you are so positive :construction:

#'s 2501-3300 delivered in May

Seems 100 cameras got lost up there... :-)
Anyway, Jim said 400 cams are going to be out in January, and we start from #300 right? So, it means the first 100 replaced plus other 300 and we are up to #600 (and i'm fucked...)

[Fergus Meiklejohn]

We've got to be positive huh.. :innocent:

At this rate I'll get mine in 2010.. lol

[Shawn Nelson]

Come on, #100-#300 aren't shipping in the next two days and it's not a payment issue, it's a logistics one. It's more like a few dozen cameras at best then #100-#300 will go out the first week or two of January.

The real question is how stable #1-100x and #100-300 turn out to be. If it's all rock solid then you'll see those other optimistic numbers come to fruitition.

I have 150% confidence in their work, so no slight against them, I just know that sometimes getting everything just right can take longer. Sometimes the last 20% takes 80% of the time, which really monkeys your deadlines...

[Eirik Tyrihjel]

It doesn´t really matter what anyone thinks (but it´s part of the fun), we will know soon enough, and the wait will be well worth it I am sure!

I am just adding to speculation.

(I thought I did state in my post that it was based on optimism gone extreme)

[Craig Meadows]

Received my email invoice "amount due" and payment instructions today. Funds were wire transfered today as well. Curious to see how soon shipping works out. #271.

Shawn thanks,

well said, well spoken and well thought out.

[Shawn Nelson]

Thanks Sanjin, although I noticed a small typo in my original post, I meant NO slight against them. Sometimes the last 20% really does take 80% of the work. I've had this happen repeatedly in engineering projects I've been part of.

If Red is guilty of anything, it's over-optimism, and that's ultimately a good thing.

[Stephen Pruitt]

If they are up to #800 by the end of February, I'll be a very happy man.

:-)

The cameras are lined up waiting for payment. Shipping is happening now...

Jim

[Dexter Gregoire]

That's great. As long as they start moving out the door I'm sure the next numbers are next.

[Shawn Nelson]

Jim

Excellent! Congrats, a fine way to end a year that has been miraculous!

[Sanjin Jukic]

Thanks to all, especially to Shawn and Jim.

Very fast respond and very good news.

[Andrae Palmer]

Glad to see the production momentum picking up. Can't wait for March... perhaps there will be a miracle and my camera will get pushed out the door in February... lol. O' sweet 1888... we are waiting on you.

[Rick Darge]

I'm just going to bring $29,500 worth of quarters down to RED HQ and avoid this whole 'waiting for money' problem.. I'll be towing it actually..

We've got our FedEx tracking numbers and we're 291- so I think it's safe to say they could all ship- so don't give up hope on having it for the new year if your in this batch.

[donatello b]

as they say 103 is in the mail !!!
i have the tracking #'s ...

[Rick Darge]

Damn man, I'm surprised you didn't just drive down. It's only 5 hours one way. I'm envious of you either way..

[Dylan Reeve]

I'm just going to bring $29,500 worth of quarters down to RED HQ and avoid this whole 'waiting for money' problem.. I'll be towing it actually..

Got a pickup? That should work out okay - it's only 660kg of coins really, so a decent small truck can probably manage it.

[Hrvoje Simic]

Can we have an ETA for the next batch and how many cameras will it be ?

[Eirik Tyrihjel]

Can we have an ETA for the next batch and how many cameras will it be ?


Omen my friend, all that has been asked and commented by jim in this very thread - you need to read it more carefully.

[donatello b]

"I'm surprised you didn't just drive down.It's only 5 hours one way"

for past 1 1/2 year i had been planning to pick it up in person BUT it was not in the shipping options i was given on friday .... so i'll get it Monday sooner then the flight i had made to pick it up on wednesday !!!

[Gaston Fazio]

Thanks

P.S. Miami is getting RED!

[Rich Schaefer]

115 is home! Now I have to figure out how to master this thing!

[Tonaci Tran]

Congrats!

[jbeale]

So for those of you who have their cameras already- have you tried out the new feature (sound)? How do you get the sound out, does Red Alert or Redcine export a WAV for you from the R3D? Does it show up already as a separate file on the CF card?

[BASSAM MSSALATIE]

have you tried out the new feature (sound)? ?

hi there is a thread about that we can check it there :matrix:

http://www.reduser.net/forum/showthread.php?p=127570#post127570

[Jay A. Kelley]

Since I am 327.. I am getting the feeling my camera is going to ship a little quicker than I thought! Not so sure it will be the end of Jan as I had figured..

Cool with me.

Jay

[Justin Kirchhoff]

Keep rubbin' it in Jay, keep rubbin it in.... ;)

[jbeale]

hi there is a thread about that we can check it there http://www.reduser.net/forum/showthread.php?p=127570#post127570

Yes, some good info there (sound is inside R3D, and available only via quicktime so far). I was just trying to get Tonaci's feedback, since he posted here today. He teased us several days ago with photos of his newly-arrived Red #102 http://redmodz.com/component/content/article/1-latest-news/60-red-102-has-landed
but to my knowledge, so far he has not said a word about operating it. Of course we've had other reports from other people, but he is apparently the first one to take delivery of the new body.

[Rob Lohman]

REDCINE and RED ALERT do not have any audio features yet. For now you'll have to work with the QuickTime files. Keep in mind that the audio feature is a beta implementation....

[Harry Clark]

Anyone get an EVF or a Red Drive in their delivery? Just curious... if not, it's got to be soon now, right?
Also, does Build 12 allow multiple outputs (EVF, RedLCD, 720 preview)
Cheers,
Harry

[Dongfang Hong]

Received my email invoice "amount due" and payment instructions today. Funds were wire transfered today as well. Curious to see how soon shipping works out. #271.

Craig,

Could you post here when you receive your #271 so that we have a better estimate of the delivery schedule?

Thanks,

Derek

[donatello b]

no EVF or RED drive - received on 31st ....

[Larry McKee]

Donatello, congrats. Can't wait to see the images you create with your brand new RED.

[Rick Darge]

D! Shoot some pretty nor cali footage for us!

[Zakaree Sandberg]

btw.. how sexy is that new mount!
such an amazing tool in itself

Post #103 of this thread shows RED #103. What a coincidence! :biggrin:

[Larry McKee]

Hopefully, 2008 with be a year full of happy coincidences for donatello.

You sure......I've received no word on an exact date for #194 as of yet?

[Daniel Reichenbach]

Same here...

[Raul Gonzo]

I received my FedEx #s on Monday and they say Thursday

[Raul Gonzo]

Perhaps it depends on what you ordered, or in your case Artbeatsart... location... idk...

[Clayton Harper]

Thursday as well. :biggrin:

Gotta go get a card reader tomorrow!

[Shawn Nelson]

Zak, why isn't your name colored Red anymore?

[J.D. Frey]

We just received the boxes! I can't believe the day is really here. It's been a great ride so far- and it's just getting started!


Thanks to Everyone at Red- Hopefully you can forgive me for all the times I called and emailed to bug you about when our camera was showing up.

The hardest question now is- will be what will we name her?

[Simon Blackledge]

Bambi :/

[J.D. Frey]

We've had a pretty good list so far-

I like Cherry- there was also a (RED) Sonya in there :)

[number6]

The hardest question now is- will be what will we name her?

You've prompted me to think along those same lines... was originally thinking RED Sombrero for one, and then Chapeau for the other. But got to looking at the numbers relative to events of the years the numbers represent, and am now leaning toward "TREATY" for 1783 (treaty that ended the Revolutionary War between the U.S. and Great Britain,) and "SPANISH FLU" for 1918, which was the year the outbreak of that killer strain was most noted for.

And since we are currently in the middle of the "age of dispersion" (of oestrogen-mimicking organo-phosphates and chemical pthalates as well) I will be referring to my two as "ITs" since everything will eventually become uni-sexed.)

edit: by the way, I know RED is not led-free, but how about LEAD free? Is it safe to hang out with?

[J.D. Frey]

Hah ha! I love "Spanish Flu"- here is some cool stuff from wikipedia about the the year 291:


Events

By Place

Roman Empire

* Diocletian signs peace treaties with Axum and Nubia.

Asia

* The War of the Eight Princes begins in China.

Births

* Saint Agnes
* Li Xiu

Deaths

* Sima Liang, regent during the reign of Emperor Hui during Jin Dynasty
* Sima Wei
* Wei Guan
* Wen Yang
* Yang Jun

Wow! even though the quantity is limited, you would have some exotic choices for names based on year. My personal preference would be "Aunt Agnes".:w00t:

edit: just realized my mistake... that said Saint Agnes instead of Aunt Agnes. Doesn't have the same ring to it.
