@AbiodunShote,
Tuesday, today is the projected time for their first calls/emails to collect a pre-deposit. Thank you for your support!!!

also interested if it would be more wise to order through AMP than a european dealer. but i think/hope Willis can clear up how much later the european dealers will get the first packages, then i think we european buyers can make an informed choice if it's worth the wait.

Willis, thanks for all the answers. Above question is relevant for alot of european buyers. When do you think to have a european dealer deal locked and how much later will the european dealer get the first shipment?
 
@MarcBerger,
All good man. I hope you are happy with the other product, thank you for your positive attitude, it actually means a lot to keep this place positive. In any case, thanks for the support so far, and hope to see you on your steadicam rig one of these days on the field.
 
@MaxM,
I honestly do not have an answer for you right now, but I will check w/ our Sales Team for status updates, last time they said it's pending. Thanks for your support, I'll do my best to get that answer soon.

@Jean-ChristopheDupasquie,
Said this before, but thanks for stating the need for the secured SSL server, https://store.dji.com/buy/ronin-group-buy is the new link.

@AaronMcLane,
Please see my post #983

@MaxM,
I'll try my hardest and fastest to get more info on that European dealer. Already convincing them to do so was a pretty big battle, now to lock it in and fast. Stay tuned.

@ArnauldParis,
It was a pleasure meeting you sir, and WOW, what an amazing venture you are doing, amazing! Great to see Ted too! Such great attitudes.

@NikhilKamkolkar,
I unfortunately didn't have enough hands to carry the Ronin w/ a camera. Adorama's forte was on the Phantom Copters, apologies to those who came down to Adorama to see the Ronin and didn't.

@ScottDevitte,
Appreciate you driving 2hours to see it, but sorry I couldn't show it to you, great to have you on the forum and physically finding out the answers for the redusers, it was a pleasure meeting you in person, and hope to see you again soon!

I think, its this level of communication that people are looking for. I know you under alot of pressure, events and all the cross communication inbetween users, DJI China etc. Thanks for clearing things up.
 
Awesome communication Willis, thanks so much!
I tried to register again with all my personal info but the new link only shows me the header picture, so no forms to fill in my infos. Tried different computers, browsers and even my smartphone. Am I missing something?

Edit: It worked, thanks!

Great response here to so many inquiries. If for example AMP reaches out to 200 people today is priority still honored by original position on list? Not everyone can sit at their computer as if racing to purchase concert tickets as they go on sale. One would assume that long as deposits are paid within specified window they would retain original list position.

A bit confused by your post implying that first person to pay will jump the line. That would imply anyone whom has only recently joined RU can click 'go' and be first to receive a unit if some of us are on a production for the day.

My understanding could be incorrect, please clarify and thanks again for trying to address so many questions.
 
Hey Willis, you are upping the support game nicely, I knew you would after meeting you. Waiting to hear from AMP.
 
Whoa...Lots of development since I checked in last.
Lots of pages to go through. Can we have a first page update for price, discount and full specs of the Ronin for this group buy?

And has anyone tested this yet? Would love to see a video of one of the group buy members testing this unit out.
 
Hello Reddies,

Well I have achieved what I set out to do on this Group Buy. From here it is up to DJI and AMP to perform and live up to the huge potential this program presents. You guys have a good idea what you are getting into now and can make a decision about what product and, more importantly, what company culture is best suited for you.

My final advice would be to wait for the reviews to come in before making that final payment. Right now everyone is projecting what they want a product to be - rather than what it is. We still don't know what any of the NAB 2014 gimbals even weigh or if they can really manage an Epic on a tough day of shooting. We all need to balance our gear slut desires of getting our hands on a new product with the reality that first issue products quickly become Product 2.0. There is going to be unforeseen engineering mistakes and bugs - how is the manufacturer of your choice going to handle those?

All of this is why I am insisting on knowing the DJI Return / Refund Policy. My recommendation is that you shop from the dealer that offers you the most generous return policy so you can make sure this untested product really does the job you intend it for. I'm hoping that is AMP since DJI should extend that to them as a show of good faith and confidence that they have done all the testing.

Other than that . . . buyer beware and continue to question the answers.

Cheers!

To wait and see or to jump in like those believers who backed the RED One?

Right now I can't find a definitive answer to this question

If you don't already have a commitment, vis a vis a deposit, look at each product as it comes online, meaning it is actually shipping. If it looks like it is of quality and will meet your needs, consider buying it. If it seems to lack something you want/need, wait for the next one.

As always, wait as long as you can if you don't perceive a need for it in the marketplace for your services. Conversely, consider the benefits of getting in early to develop your expertise and knowledge.

There - I am certain that didn't help even one bit! :-)

Yes, you got that right, we are catering a badass kit for the professional film industry. Redusers so happen to get a $449.90 discount with additional accessories that Aerial Media Pros have to offer, and we are currently working on something special, call it a cherry on top, all thanks to Zeb & Patrick for putting this together. I'm sorry to hear you are disappointed because you are in Europe, but I'm working on expediting a European dealer so users in your region don't have to pay the shipping/duties.

Thank you, Willis.

...@KetchRossi,
A natural leader, thank you for your support sir. Appreciate you looking out for me on this forum...

Just doing what I can to make sure that our community gets a chance to be well served by those that like you and Zeb in this particular case, get the chance to properly be heard, understood, and given opportunity to bring an amazing product to the hands of fellow Reduser.

This community, my/our community, can at times get very jumpy... But at the end of the day most of us here are Professionals, and we understand what it takes to get things done, and always appreciate the efforts done by any fellow Reduser, Filmmaker or Company selling a product, were together we work to make this community ever better, with Group Buys going on continuously as to offer the great products at the best price possible and get them here first... When possible... :)
 
I'm probably going to end up trying both the letus and the ronin
i signed up within the 5 minutes for amp but haven't received my email yet. Has anyone else?
