Yeah, the fees could have been brutal… But truthfully, I haven’t been hit with fees often for packages from China, it’s usually the ones from the US that have the worst ones nowadays.

Hahahah not really, just filming a recap of the premiere of the show, filming three nights in a row to get as many clips as possible to make a 1 minute video. So only a couple spark shots will be in the final cut.

Maybe on a future shoot then! What part of Canada are you in, btw? I’m in the Vancouver area.

I’m a little far, I live close to Montreal! 

I am Backer #62 and still waiting for my Camera :frowning:

Have you already got your confirmation mail?

No :confused:

I’m Baker #98, and I received an email confirmation from Pixboom support today. According to the information they provided, my order is scheduled to ship next week.

They explained that both the PL and EF adapters had experienced the previously reported issues and that they were waiting for a new stock replenishment. My camera is expected to be included in this new batch.

Based on this, I believe we should all start receiving shipping notifications and tracking information very soon, provided there are no further setbacks.

Let’s hope everything stays on track and that shipments finally start moving out next week.

So tired of refreshing my junk mail and i box to see if that email finally came through! Really happy for you though. Hope to get that confirmation in the next few days as I’m supposed to be in the first batch. I’m aware of the delay for us Canadians but patiently waiting for this email!

It’s extremely common mate. Theres ARRIs and REDs with stitched sensors. If it were avoidable - you know ARRI would

it’s necessary due to the limitations of the machines that make sensors.

Backer 103 or 104… still haven’t gotten the email.

Hello

i’ve sent an email about shipping statue

Any updates for Dubai / MiddleEast?

I’m Backer 231

Thank you.


It is common but not the 65 or Venice2 and there are pros but also cons and challenges 

Surely, if I expect to have this as a Christmas gift for myself this year, I won’t be disappointed. Maybe I can film my daughter enjoying some snow. That would be nice. =]

The ARRI 65 is double stitched man, it’s 3 vertically oriented sensors with two seams.

stitching isn’t bad, it can be calibrated EXTREMELY well so there’s no perceived exposure or colour shift.

Hi, I’m backer 58 and I haven’t received the camera or any shipping notice. What if you’ve already shipped 90-100 units?
