After CNC-milled prototype came out, we found the design were somewhat heavy, and there were issues that'll cause assembly difficulty in later mass production. So during the past few weeks, we have been busy changing the design to trim down weight, and make the design easier to manufacture. The 2nd CNC-milled prototype that we send out to make is expected to return later next week.
A good news is that we've made an accessory for GoPro cameras of 41mm x 59mm size. Users with GoPro can use ProView S3 with it also!
The smartphone grip on the CNC-milled prototype was very brittle, cracked the second day we used it. The mechanical design company assured us that final mold-injected plastic grip will be quite strong, won't crack easily as the prototype.
Firmware for ProView S3 is being worked on all these time. Below shows a demo operation with wooden plate in place of a smartphone. Due to firmware not fully optimized yet, motion is still a bit slow and we are working to improve it.
Getting things fully prepared took longer than expected. Thus launching of Indiegogo campaign will slide into latter half of October. Rather than launching campaign early without fully functional prototype but with mock-ups, we firmly believe it's better to launch with realistic shipping schedule after we get everything right.
Recently there are software stabilization methods appearing. The file conversion time may be quite significant with large 4K videos that'll become popular with introduction of iPhon6S and iPhone6S+. The tried and true method of brushless gimbal stabilization technology might still be the best approach to video stabilization without any video quality degradation and conversion wait time.
Thank you for bearing with us a little longer!
