My two additional lens mounts arrived and I’m pretty impressed with the packaging. The boxes use a dense cardboard that feels premium and the box has a good looking design. Inside, we have a white fold out envelope that contains a warranty card, shims, 2 spare mount screws, and a user manual.
The mount itself comes in a thick, leather-like drawstring bag that offers a good amount of padding. I noticed the graphic design on the box has a person carrying a red driver tool, which I now interpret as “bring your own tool” since there wasn’t one inside.
The shims look to be updated designs from what shipped on my early unit camera, as the early ones could spin so I have to be extra careful not to accidentally shift it and misalign the holes when seating the mount, but the new design slips over two locating pins that keep it in place.

I think mine gone a bit delayed
… Tracking now says my mounts will arrive July 6th. Unfortunately, I have a Job in Texas on July 6-9th so I guess I will gave to figure out how to only use EF mounted glass.
Happy to see the mounts are good and ready to be used tho.
Bit of a random question…
Why did you order an E-mount when that’s what came on the camera by default?
Second question: How many mounts did you buy as part of the kickstarter campaign? Because I’m pretty sure I ordered the Spark (which comes with E mount) then I ordered 2 other mounts (EF and PL) but now my camera has arrived - I got the E already on the camera and a PL in the box.
Support said I only ordered 1 extra mount, but my online order shows 2 mounts + camera.
One of the mounts says “E”… so am I wrong in assuming the kickstarter campaign didn’t include a mount on the camera? So I had to buy both E and PL?
I’d assumed I was buying 2 EXTRA mounts over and above the standard E.
The Kickstarter camera came with any one of the 3 mounts (you got to choose). I purchased two extra mounts so I’d have all three as well. You could only add one additional mount through the Kickstarter add-ons, if I’m remembering correctly, so I had to order the second additional mount from their website.
My camera was supposed to ship with the E initially, but they accidently sent it with EF (at the time they had mount shortages, so were shipping with one mount already attached and then sending the other ones later).

Ahh thats right! I remember struggling to add more than one mount on kickstarter and I emailed them about it.
Thanks mate.
Such a shame the mounts are $599USD from their store though, that’s $850 for us Aussies.
Did you get two SSD’s? I’m still waiting on my second one, they did say mid-july so I might give them a nudge.
Thanks again for the speedy reply and for jogging my memory about that kickstarter bug, I totally remember that now.

Yes, I ordered two SSDs as well.
