BMPCC4K start shipping

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

Can someone explain why so many other countries are considered a priority and have already received their cameras while a lot of us in the USA have to wait? I'm seeing YouTube videos of review after review of people saying they pre-ordered the camera. It is just where it's manufactured?

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.

As for demos, I think the winner so far is

Nailed it!

Has anyone else in DFW or Texas in general had theirs ship?

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?

Anyone had anything from CVP yet?

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.

Not for me , I was in the first 50.

which shop in germany?

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.

which shop in germany?

Medienwerkstatt in Düsseldorf.

Nothing from CVP and I ordered within 24 hours of the announcement.

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 am in the first 20 from CVP and still no news.

I just talked my dealer here in Austria and I got the only camera they got so far.

Well, my reseller charged my credit card for the camera last week. Srill hasn't, you know, actually shipped it. But did charge me for it. Does that count?

At least that implies that you're close to getting a shipping confirmation

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.

Anyone contacted CVP this week for an update?

We are still awaiting our next shipment.
Sorry I have no information on when your order will be completed.

Got this from CVP.

Great... good times lol.

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.

I just received notice from Adorama that my BMPCC 4K was shipped this afternoon.

I placed my pre-order on 4/9 around 6pm ET.

at this exact moment my B&H order status is now "shipped".
Though, DHL Tracking not available yet.
I remind that I ordered 4/9 at 22:40 pm.

Damn.. mine still says new item coming soon, back ordered. I suspect I wont see mine for months.

I received a still out of stock message from B&H this morning. Ordered 4/12.

The good news? The price on the 1TB Sandisk SSD dropped to $199.99.

To my surprise, I got a shipment notification yesterday from Adorama. My 4K pocket will be here on Tuesday. I ordered on 4/10, the day after the announcement.

I ordered 4/10 from B&H and it's still backordered. I just wish BMD would let us know how many are being released at a time.

Don't suppose anyone has managed to get anymore info out of CVP?

I got word that my order is shipping today from Safe Harbor. I was #1 on their list after they received/sold their first two cameras they got in at the end of September.

That means I'm NEXT!!!

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.

Don't suppose anyone has managed to get anymore info out of CVP?

No, still nothing.

Will message them again if I don't hear anything 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

Just got a message: It has arrived!

Too bad, I'm on a shoot today and will have to wait till tomorrow.

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 ordered from Innocinema and was told I was in the queue within the first 20. October 4th I asked them about the product and they hadn't received a single one. *_*

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?

I'm April 12th at B&H, haven't heard a thing.

You might be waiting a while, CVP are still telling me they have no idea when they'll fulfil my order and I ordered just after announcement.

I'll message CVP tomorrow as well, but they said the same to me about two weeks ago. Tiny shipment, less than 10 I think, and no idea when more would be coming... I really need a camera!

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

AAAAArrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg!

If that's how I feel (only pre-ordered Aug 31), I can't imagine how all you April guys feel. I was so hopeful the end of September, now I think I may still be waiting in December.

Ordered on April 10th from Adorama.

It's been difficult to imposible to get a strait answer on my cue.

I understand the camera is in backorder, but I will like to know MY cue.

B&H straight up told me today they don't release queue information. I'm not worried. A little impatient, but good things come to those who wait.

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 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
