Plus, you re only hearing back,for a few of those customers who have received their cameras. Not the many who have not got their cameras yet.

US customers who ordered in the first day, are also getting their cameras from B&H and Adorama shipped last week, and several smaller dealers on the Eadt Coast and Midwest have a coup,e of cameras. The West Coast US dealers seem to be still waiting for their orders to arrive, which I figure will be this week (today is Sunday here).

Last time around, US distributors got cameras before EU, so kind of a turnaround this time.
Cheers

There's a container ship somewhere in some ocean with our names on it. Hell it might already be here. But they only move about 10kts and we are not anywhere close to the factory. :cry:

I'm in Garland, preordered 8/31, right after BM released some sample footage. I called my dealer last week. He didn't even know that they had started shipping yet.

I ordered from VideoTex. Who did you order from James?

Got informed today that the shop I ordered at in Germany gets around 1 camera per week. They already got two, so I'm next in line. But they couldn't say, if they get camera 3 this or next week.

This is like Christmas build up as a kid.. wondering who got what.. though in this case it is just WHEN we get it! I check my email about 30 times a day, hoping to see some sort of ship notice from B&H but I suspect I wont see one for at least another month.

I ordered from TM Television. Oddly enough I had to stop into VideoTex the day I picked my camera up. And yes, the were surprised they were already being shipped. It could be that I got TM's very first camera and they decided to sell it instead of keep it as a demo.

I was in the first 50 as well, but not heard anything either.

I did contact them last week, and they said they had a very small batch, but that was obviously a lot less than 50. They said they had no word from Blackmagic on when more would be delivered.

I contacted Safe Harbor about availability and this was their response...

You are #2 in line. We currently have none on the way and no information on when more will be coming.


I still have my two week old pre-order with B&H just in case, but still have the sadz.

Ah, that's disheartening. I immediately ordered one when I saw someone higher up in the thread say they had one shipped out, but I guess it was Safe Harbor's only unit. I'm #1 in line. I have a September 5th pre-order from Adorama, but got the "still on backorder" notification this morning.

The rumour in September was that North America was receiving cameras the first week of October. Maybe, but I have heard nothing from my small Canadian retailer. I hate to query them for nothing, so I wait.

Someone posted that BH got a huge shipment in 2nd week of October. Guessing there were a lot more people in front of me.. still says back ordered new item with no info as to update.

Frustrating that it is so difficult to get info like this. Why is it so secretive.. I mean its 2018, we have automate supply chain software and I am quite sure BH has something fancy as do others. Dont see why it is such a big deal to simply say "we have 500 cameras coming in by end of November and you are #300 on the list..". Great now I know I am somewhere in the next month. Not knowing is driving me nuts. I have potential clients lined up waiting for me to do some work and I dont have a clue when I might receive my camera.. and worse I still need to learn how to use it! I am looking at early next year before I can potentially do anything which sucks as I just lost my main job last week!

My guess is it's to keep you from going to competitors for your order. If you know you're #999 out of 1000, you might go preorder or buy somewhere else.

Of course I have no idea if that's the case, just a guess. I pre-ordered from 4 different places and just canceled 3 of them as a smaller reseller came through today.

I sent a message to CVP late on Friday , no reply as of yet.

I’m beginning to wonder if CVP just collected a bundle of pre-orders and sent them quite late to Holden/BM. And thus even though I may have ordered within 19 minutes of the pre-order - I may be quite a long way down the list compared to suppliers who may have submitted pre-orders as they received them from customers.

No information leads only to speculation :-)

That was from me. It came from a guy in BH customer service named Mike, I believe. Well, this didn't seem to happen. I called back last Wednesday and was told to "expect a positive email sometime between this evening and Friday." I didn't receive such an email. Still waiting. It's Tuesday now and I leave the country for a long-term project that I really wanted this camera for on Saturday. I also pre-ordered at two other smaller retailers. Hopefully somebody comes through with one. I still have a few more days to go.

I just spoke with BH again and they said they were getting an order in but it's not in the quantities they were expecting and that, realistically, we're looking at early to mid-November. My pre-order with them was made on May 1st.

Tedious wait for my pre order. I ordered with CVP in UK (although placed in May) but there's literally no word of when more stock is coming. I check in with them every week.

An unfortunate long wait in UK. I really thought I might have mine by end of September. Anyone else with any luck?

How do you know you were in the first 50. The folks I’ve been talking to say CVP were not telling anyone where they were in the queue. Just as I wasn’t told and Inordered on the 9th April 20:53

I received an email from Safe Harbor stating that you got their only camera sent to them this week and I'm next in line. NEXT! (could be a week or so).

I also cancelled by B&H backorder since I pre-ordered last month and there's no way it get fulfilled in a week.

We just brought one in the UK above RRP from someone that got one of the first UK deliveries. The additional £’s paid easily covered by one day rate, and we have loads of projects booked in over the coming weeks so a no-brainer for us (it’s being used as a b-cam so no real risk of putting eggs in the basket of a new piece of kit). We are filming at the F1 in Austin this weekend - good opp to test - Hope a cargo ship full of cameras arrives soon cor everyone
