Exciting news! New iPad attachment for Bendi flex-arms!

Update #33 · Sep 1, 2012 · 3 comments

Backers, I have some very exciting news to share with you all. We've decided that many customers wanted an alternative method for attaching their iPad to Bendi. While the suction cup works great, we understand that the security of using a suction cup could be better. 

We've been working with the folks over at Grifiti, and are excited to let you all know about the Nootle. The Nootle is a secure method of adding a tripod mount to your iPad, and connects directly with the Bendi flex arm. The Nootle is available from Grifiti for an amazing price of $20! We're excited to expand the Bendi compatibility, and hope you all will take a look at the Nootle!

They're also offering full tripod setups with iPad compatibility. 

We're happy to be working with Grifiti, and excited to see the cool things you do with your Bendi + Nootle!

Magnetic Base Update + Indiegogo - Version 2

Update #31 · Aug 30, 2012 · comment

Magnetic Bases

I'm playing phone tag currently with the magnetic base manufacturer, to figure out exactly how we'll be servicing the units that are unable to change bases. Thank you all for your patience!

Indiegogo

Many of you requested a cheaper pledge level to help out, so we've added a $5 pledge level. Thank you for your e-mailed support!

Magnetic Base update + Indiegogo

Update #30 · Aug 19, 2012 · comment

Hello everyone! For those of you with the magnetic base issue (the standard clamp won't remove), the manufactured is working on a solution, but we're not sure what this will look like at the moment. Regardless of what the solution is, it will be a free fix to all of you. I'll be covering the costs. They may send new arms out to all of you, or may have a pre-paid label for you. We should know within a week. I apologize for this inconvenience! 

We're currently sold out of Bendi units. I know many of you have been having friends and family purchase more units, and I want you to all know how much I appreciate this, but we're out! We're waiting to resolve the magnetic base issue before manufacturing more units.

Another note...I've started an Indiegogo campaign for my classroom here in Sandpoint. I want to start and automotive and mechanical engineering unit with my students. I'd be honored if you take a look.
