[Shawn Booth]

Would love to hear everything is on schedule as posted over at Viewfactor....

 

[Curran Giddens]

Guys, I think the first batch will start shipping by then end of next week, not this week. They still need to build the motors and then run a bunch of tests....

So close...

[Matthew Rogers]

I am correct in saying that the serial shipping numbers are for the Inclino's (the motor) and not the Impero's (the FF controller), correct? I wish it was for the Impero since I'm under 100 for that...sigh...

Matthew

 

[Curran Giddens]

right. shipping numbers are for the motors.

I won't be able to use mine for at least the next couple months since my camera is on a long-term rental. Let me know if you need....

 

[Benjamin Rowland]

Is it still in the works for the Impero to work with the Birger mount?

 

[Michele Gavazzeni]

Is it still in the works for the Impero to work with the Birger mount?

Who knows since Birger is something few has already seen or tested.

 

[CVB]

We are going to be compatible with the Birger mount. We have a serial port on the Impero receiver that can talk to his unit with a short cable. As soon as I get a hold of one we will start poking around and make it work. I expect that it will have to be a firmware update a couple months from now.

On another note... we received cables from Lemo and are shipping another 200 or so origos on Monday. We also received the batch of 50 parts from our diecast guys are are all set to start production on Inclinos Monday afternoon.

We have also decided to make firmware updates extremely easy on both Inclino and Impero ... you merely need to drag a firmware file from our website to a usb thumb drive then plug it into a cable that's provided with the impero receiver. Anything that is on the motor bus (ie the receiver, the controller, and the motors) will get updated.

Here are few pics of the parts we just got as well as our glamorous new "lobby" sporting the sign we made for NAB.

[Tai Wah Lim]

Yup, yours is going out on Monday. You are #245.

Curt, is my order ready for shipment too? Lim

 

[CVB]

Lim, yours is going out in the first batch of motors/controllers. We are shooting for the end of the week but I'll have a good idea of where we stand on wed/thurs.
