Big Progress // A New Tier // Video Demo
WHAT A DAY!!!
Thank you Thank you. To everyone who is supporting us, we are so grateful. Just today, we raised an amazing $1,940. The previous update just earlier today was a call for help and we are blown away by the response. So many of you increased your pledges, and some even pledged higher than the reward they chose. A HUGE THANKS TO ALL!!!
A couple people were so happy about the $6 per unit price that they asked if they could buy more than just 10. I'm basically giving them away, but at this stage of the business, cash flow is king. So I created another tier: $120 for 20 units. Trust me, you will never see this price again. Wanna be a hero? Choose this reward. Like my good friend Adam H. said, "Let's get this thing FUNDED!!!".
Next order of business: I am including a video for you to see the ClearShot up close and in detail with a full demonstration. I want everyone to understand exactly how it works and what you are getting. You can see it used in various positions with different size cases, and even how you can use it with your point-and-shoot! Yes, it is even useful for your little Canon or whatever you have -- a miracle, I know ;)
I think that's it for now. All I can say is if you are still living in $15 or $25 land, consider the value we are offering at $60 or $120. With under 3 days left, this is the pivotal moment. If you are not able, we do understand and respect your decision.
Lastly, please leave a comment on the campaign with your thoughts! Treat it like a guest book - anything you are thinking, let's hear it!
Thank you Kickstarters!

@Julia, it really does work about equal with all devices. Like I mentioned some of the very large phones don't get as much angle variety, but I'll try to get a more scientific response. Maybe I'll have people at my work let me take photos of their various phones in the ClearShot.
@Andy, Glad you like the video!
@EVERYONE, THANK YOU!!!

Great! Do you have any sense of the iDevice vs. other device breakdowns? I'm really curious about that... and I'm doing all I can to get the word out. I really do think it's a great idea and I know I will use it a lot. Some things SEEM cool but because they are a hassle, you might not carry them and use them, but I think this will pass ALL of those tests in my purse. :-)

Of course, Julia! Especially because you have been engaged from the start. You were the one that gave us the great feedback to not exclude non-iPhone users! Thanks Julia!

So... I'm considering upping my current $25 pledge to $60... does the first-project backer bonus still apply?
Creator Andy Blakely on September 18, 2012
Great video! I'm more excited than ever about the product!
