Dear Greg,
We're long overdue an update on your project!
We last heard from you in February. Please let us know what's going on.
Thanks,
Matt
Hi guys: any update on the project? Thanks.
Anyone received a reward yet that had one coming? Feb 10 update said expected to ship within the next week, but that was over 2 months ago.
I want to update my mailing address!!
Hi there and happy new year. Hope all is going well with the project.
Hi Greg, can we get an update as to the status? Thanks :)
Hi guys. How is production going? Are you near shipping? I'm pretty excited!
The strobe flash isn't that consistent. These are cheap electronics not precision instruments. The proper way to film them would be to use professional photographic strobes that can be synced to the camera.
I was reading the "About the Video" section in the project description and wondered:
Would it be too hard to use a high speed camera that has fps that fulfill Nyquist's theorem wrt the strobe light used? Or maybe triggering the camera every time the strobe flashes???
NICE.
Thanks, Noah! We're totally blown away by the response.
Congrats guys!
