We are already more than half finished dealing with the communications that we have received since saturday. But, we still have a backlog of about 100 emails and 25 voicemails left to process. We should clear it today.

If you had a question we are getting back to you as we process the emails. If everything in the response allowed your deposit to be processed and your order cleared for the shipping queue, then you won't hear anything for another couple days.

We expect to ship a batch of 20 to 30 units on friday/monday. We will notify by email when each is packaged for shipment in this first batch, with a tracking number.

After this first batch, we will then understand our delivery schedule well enough to post with a target ship date, based on confirmation number. We have enough parts in house, or due in the next few days, to ship all Canon mounts on order.

After this first batch we will have an update on knobs and mac software. A clear majority of reservation holders opted to have the mount asap, with the knobs to follow.

The first few emails should be going out to a handful of beta testers in a week or two that will give details about when the second email should arrive. The second email is behind schedule because of a few missing sentences that were supposed to arrive yesterday. Based on the feedback they get from the first email, the second email should be ready in a week or two (without punctuation or correct grammar -- that will all come later). Don't worry, it'll be worth the wait!!

EDIT: Aw man, Erik replied while I was writing my little gag. Egg in my face!
 
Damn. This makes it sound like I might get my mount in early June. Awesome. Cool. My Red won't be an expensive paperweight anymore. :)

How do we decipher what number we are in line again? I'm 107-282222, which I know means Nov 28th, 2007, but I can't be number 2,222. Anyone know what the last 4 numbers mean?
 
The number is the time your order was received : 8:22 pm on the the 28th Nov.

The number doesn't tell you were you are in line but I gather you are very early.

Erik, I emailed you but thought I'd post here just in case.

How do you handle the CA tax exemption? Should I fax you a filled out copy? It has to have the purchase order info, date of purchase, description of property, etc.
 
guessing on CA sales tax ... they do not charge CA sales tax ...
which leaves you with the option of paying directly to CA in full yourself or pay the portion above the 5.25% use tax under 6378 ....
if you have a account with CA state board of equalization you pay it whenever they have you scheduled to pay ?? ( mine is in July ) ..if no account then call them ( they'll probably be in shock that somebody wants to pay ) and ask how do you pay the % above 5.25% ....

just so you're aware .. in CA if you paid CA sales tax on equipment you bought you do NOT have to charge sales tax when you rent it out ... if you did NOT pay CA sales tax then you are suppose to charge CA sales tax on all rental receipts for that equipment ...
under 6378 you do not have to pay the 1st 5.25% CA sales tax on purchase ... you pay the remaining 2-3.5% ( depending on area you live) = then you do not have to charge sales tax if you rent out the equipment bought under 6378 ...
 
What is this Blue Tooth Remote Control. Is it for Follow Focus or something else.
 
the blue Tooth remote control is for controlling the coolness temperature of your tooth. if you go right.. it goes cooler, if you go left it gets warmer. so if ure eating ice cream, you wanna cool ure teeth, if you want to drink some tea... you turn it left.

Round peg round hole problem...

Round peg round hole problem...

Just want to keep everbody aware of what is going on.

We have been having a difficult time with the Mogami cable that we selected, and the 10 pin Lemos that go to the camera. The pins are too small for the guage of wire that we selected. Turned into an assembly nightmare.

Bad news, that 100mm cable will now be grey. Good news, enough cable is on its way to us to make 1000 of these cables. Bad news, it won't get here until Monday. Good news, it is still Mogami (high quality).

That Friday/Monday ship target is now a Monday/Tuesday target. I will keep people posted.

We should be caught up with remaining emails and voicemails today. Please try to resist phoning us for now. The huge volume of calls has gotten in the way of us getting things built and out the door. With only five employees, having three employees on the telephone simultaneously can really help kill productivity...

"The Mogami cable contains sodium benzoate. ... That's bad."

Another day, another delay. I'm almost going to feel wistful once this sucker starts shipping. Actually, no I won't: I'll be too busy finally getting to use my camera.
 
Erik, will we be able to switch out the grey for a black at some point?

Concerning phone calls: I think maybe the best way for you to keep your phone call volume down, is to post more updates like this one more frequently. :wink: Thanks for the update. Keep 'em coming!
