Hey Pixboomers,
First things first — CineGear is a wrap! It was an absolute whirlwind, but honestly one of the best experiences we’ve had so far. Getting to meet so many of our early backers in person was something really special. Seeing your excitement up close genuinely made me want to get Spark into your hands even faster. And I really hope those of you who stopped by enjoyed the popcorn! 
Now, back to what you’re all really here for — the updates:
Shipping — June 22nd Batch
We’re planning to start shipping 120–150 units beginning June 22nd. Canadian backers within the first 100 orders will be prioritized in this wave.
You might be wondering why the range of 120–150 rather than a fixed number — every unit goes through a round of safety testing and a mount-matching check after production, so the final count depends on how many pass with flying colors. We’d rather take the extra time than rush anything out the door.
Remaining Backers (incl. Website Pre-orders)
All remaining units — including website pre-orders — are on track to ship between August and September. We’re working hard to make sure every single one of you gets your Spark this year.
July Shipping Update — Coming Soon
The shipping quantity for July is still being confirmed — we expect to have a clear number within the next two weeks and will post an update here as soon as we do. Stay tuned!

See You at IBC Amsterdam — September!
As someone who takes food and coffee very seriously (it’s basically a personality trait at this point ), I’m already thinking about our next in-person meetup — and that’s IBC Amsterdam in September!
I’m already planning ahead: good coffee, proper afternoon tea, and great conversations with all of you. If you’re heading to Amsterdam, please come find us at the booth — I would absolutely love to see you there. Consider this your official invitation! 
As always, thank you for your patience, your passion, and your trust in us. Every update I write, I’m thinking about each and every one of you. We’re almost there!
Jing & Pixboom Team
Keep grinding.
Missed timelines, delays, I know. It’s frustrating and you deserve better.
Thank you for still being here and still cheering us on. It genuinely means more than I can say.
