p.s. all of the remaining 'international monopod' orders are on their way! Please give the packages a little while to make it to you (international shipping isn't known for speed!) Thanks so much for your amazing patience!

Hello everybody!

I am happy to give this update that many of you have been waiting for! The monopod reinforcement parts have arrived, which means I can finally get out those last orders that many of you have been waiting so patiently for. 

The part that I designed  is an aluminum 'collar' which secures to the bottom of the monopod. It fixes the issue of the monopod's bottom screw coming loose, and even the occurrences of the monopod's platic base plate cracking. Because of the wider base and solidity it also increases the overall stability of the monopod and helps it attach more securely to the base of the Revolve Dolly.

The collar has a center hole that threads directly onto the monopod's bottom screw, and 4 set screws which tighten onto the very bottom of the monopod tube structure just above the plastic base plate.

As you can see in the comparison above, the bottom mounting point becomes much more robust once the collar is installed.

I am very happy with the way this reinforcing collar functions. I think it looks pretty good too!

At the beginning of next week, I will begin shipping the remainder of the international orders who opted to wait for this part to arrive before their order went out. I want to thank you all for your outstanding patience! If you have any last minute address changes, please let me know ASAP!

For those of you who already received your orders with monopods and are just waiting for the reinforcement part- I will ship the part out to you as soon as possible. Many of you have already contacted me letting me know you would like the part, so if there is anyone else who needs it please let me know and I will get it to you.

Thank you again for your amazing support and patience! I have been getting great feedback from you guys and have already seen some pretty cool footage made with the Revolve. I hope to continue seeing your awesome results, so please continue to share!

Best-

Jeremy

Hello again!

I have some exciting news to share- the Revolve, and more specifically the Kickstarter campaign that you were a part of, is being featured in a new book titled "Bright Ideas: A Crowdfunding Almanac".

The book is all about the journey of an idea from conception to reality. Very fittingly, the book is seeking funding here on Kickstarter. I myself chose to back the project because I'm excited at the chance to learn more about all of the other products and ideas that the book will feature. I thought you all might be interested as well, so head over and check out the project!

If you're as excited about Bright Ideas an I am, you've still got time to grab the book at the discounted Kicksrater early backer special price!

Revolve Instructions:

I have been getting some messages from people asking "how do I.....?" And although I am happy to answer any questions you may have, I also plan on providing some good instructions, tips, and how-to's that you guys can access any time. I have began putting together some of that information on the Revolve website, and you can access it at www.revolvecamera.com/about

I will be adding to this section periodically as I generate new instructional content, and the questions you all have for me will help me decide what info I need to post.

The Monopod: Things are going well with the manufacture of the new part which should eliminate the problems with the Monopod. My manufacturer has promised shipment of the parts by the 10th, and I should have them out to you shortly thereafter. As soon as I get them in I will let you know!

until next time-

Jeremy

Hello again!

The last few weeks have been spent assembling, packaging, and shipping as many Kickstarter rewards as I can each day. I am very happy to say that progress has been great, and as of today all of the US rewards have been shipped! If you live in the US and have not already gotten your reward, keep an eye out for it as it should arrive before the end of the week!

Here is the last truckload of US orders about to be dropped at the post office for sorting-

As for all of my wonderful international backers- hang in there! I am working hard to get all of your rewards shipped before the end of this week. Shipping international packages is a little more time consuming than shipping domestic packages, but all my efforts are now shifted towards getting those out.

The feedback from those of you who have gotten their rewards so far has been great, and I am thrilled to hear from you whether you are praising the Revolve, or have suggestions or problems that may need addressed! I look forward to seeing how you put your Revolve to use!

Best-

Jeremy
