Hey Backers/Team/Rhino Tribe, some of you should be receiving your stabilizers today! There is an instruction manual included in your shipment but we created a little video that might be easier to understand. 

Also, I wanted to fill you in that we changed the name of the EZ-Steady to Rhino Steady. This was done with future branding consistency in mind. Most of the products we create will have Rhino in front of whatever the product is ex. Rhino Slider, Rhino Rig, Rhino Dolly, etc. We're still figuring out how to manage the transition with SEO in mind since a lot of people are still searching for EZ-Steady.

Anyway, I hope you guys love them. Please email us at support@rhinocg.com if you have questions and if you like the Rhino Steady, share it! Tweet, Facebook it, post a video of it.  We want to hear your feedback. Thanks again, 

Kyle

We're finally shipping! This has been such a crazy journey and we're finally there. We have about 85 EZ-Steady's shipped out. We'll be assembling and packaging another 100 which will go out on Tuesday. Then a week or so after that we'll have the rest of the stages back from anodizing and those will go out. We can't tell you how much your support and patience has meant to us over the past 5 months. Thank you so much backers!

We'll be filming an instructional video today that will help you learn to balance the EZ-Steady (an instruction manual is included in your package too). 

If you have any questions about the balancing or flying process please send all e-mails to support@rhinocg.com. We'll try and get back to everyone within a day.

Hi guys, 

Here's another update about our assembly of the EZ-Steady. We got our first 100 stages back from anodizing and they look great. However, we assembled around 100 handles and after they dried we realized we had a major problem. They were binding up and not spinning freely as they should. We figured out that the there was too much space between the outside of the bearings and the inside of the handle tube. Somehow our epoxy expanded unevenly and cross loaded the bolt within the bearings causing it to seize. In simple terms they don't work. We tried to just put one bearing in the handles. That did work but there was some slop and wiggle in them that I couldn't accept. 

So, we have engineered a new handle that will fit much tighter and ensure proper alignment of the bearings so they can spin freely. Over the course of being burned by a few machine shops we actually found one that can do work very well and very fast. They are already working on the new handles and they will ship to us in about 2 weeks. 

I feel horrible that this happened and the project is delayed yet again. I am still committed to getting you your EZ-Steady as fast as humanly possible but it will have to wait a couple more weeks. By the time we get the new handles in we should have most of the stages back and anodized so we should be able to get all 300 orders out very quickly instead of in small batches like we had planned. 

Please watch the attached video if you would like more details. Again, thank you for your patience and for sticking with us through this. It means the world to us.
