Vincent,
Yes, we'll send you a survey to get any details we need before shipping.
Creator Vincent Van on May 30, 2012
awesome product, can't wait to get hand on it. btw, do i have a choice to pickup the color when it ship???
Creator Troy Tolman on May 29, 2012
Ray: Thanks for your input! We're always open to great ideas. Victor & Chris: I need more info from the manufacturers before I know exactly what we can do as far as color selection... I imagine the more we end up ordering, the more color variety we'll have... Other wise we'll go with the most popular colors based on backer feedback... I'll let you know more on this later. Simone: See FAQ's about weight.
Creator Troy Tolman on May 29, 2012
About the weight limits... see the FAQ's...
I honestly don't think you would find the MAXIS 360 very useful with camera's heavier than around 1.5 lbs... and even at that weight the functionality is very limited... You would definitely not be able to use a camera that size and weight for an "action camera".
In the video I mount my Nikon D40 (1.6 lbs) on the roof of my car to show the convenience of a quick roadside shot... not to imply that I use it as an "action camera"... Sorry for the confusion.
Creator Kendra on May 29, 2012
I have a question before I pledge for the larger reward -- In the FAQ you state Maxis is basically designed to support cameras up to 6oz. (Roughly the weight of an iPhone). Before that you state it could support my larger camera and lens with a lens collar. So, are you saying it will support my DSLR and telephoto lens with a collar (3-5lbs)? or will it only support devices around 6oz? I'm confused because in the video I noticed DSLR's being mounted to cars, which leads me to think I can not only use my large camera, but also, perhaps mount it for use like an action camera. Thanks!
Creator Ray Ray on May 29, 2012
How about a mount that works on textured dashboards? Bean bag mounts like the one you used in your video are fine until you need to make a turn at a reasonable amount of speed. ;)
Exomount is one example.
I look forward to using this with my Nokia 808 Pureview.
Creator Chris @ BiteMyApple on May 29, 2012
Troy, please offer the Maxis 360 in the color black..
Creator Victor Yeung on May 28, 2012
Seems like a promising product, I'm excited!
Got some questions (and I think others might be curious too!):
1. You show a variety of colour choices, will we be able to pick a colour for ours?
2. Ball-joint camera mount products normally have tighteners to fasten, though with your Maxis360 you seem to be repositioning cameras in your video with ease (maybe too much ease?) - How much weight can we expect the magnet to hold (in both the spheroid and the magnetic base)? Like Simone asks, would heavier cameras start to creep away from position if set at an angle?
Thanks,
Victor
Creator Simone Aloisio Cucci on May 28, 2012
I Troy, just backed the project. really gorgeus idear, very simple therefore elegant. However, even if I'll mostly use with the iPhone, can you confirm that the dslr (canon 550d) doe not move during the film making like for smaller and lighter cameras. In the video you made there were just few shots showing the dslr.
thanks
