UNRULY production update
Hi Kickstarters.
It's been a wild 2 months! As you can imagine, we've had a ton of interest in and out of Kickstarter. Orders are flowing in from all over the world and we're stoked! We also attended NAB last week and the reception was amazing.
Primarily, I want to update you on the status of things. We've experienced a ton of headaches with manufacturing and prototyping and it's been much more challenging that we expected to get work done in the US. I have to say, I now understand why companies are going overseas for production, because very few vendors here seem to want to the work or respond in a timely manner. That said, we're several weeks behind our anticipated initial delivery and I don't want to ship your product in pieces, so we're waiting to have your entire order in hand before sending it to you.
- HEADGEAR are complete. We're anodizing and lasering graphics now. They are sweet!
- HEADCASE PRO tooling and prototyping is complete. We're now waiting for our machine shop vendor to put the peddle down and start delivering cases next week.
- Rubber pieces for HEADCASE PRO are currently being molded and we'll start injecting rubber next week.
- R and S lens rings required a last minute redesign for the universal GoPro mount and they're being machined right now. It looks like they'll be machined aluminum vs injected plastic after all.
- BEARTRAP molds are being made right now and we expect parts very soon. Not soon enough though! :)
We're pushing hard to get everything to you as fast as possible. Every delay we experience is frustrating for us all, but please know that we're on target to deliver a great product, as promised. I guarantee that you'll be thrilled with the quality and detail of UNRULY products.
If you have any questions, please contact us at (sales at life is unruly dot com) and we'll get you a response immediately. I appreciate your patience and thank you for getting behind this project. You're gonna love your UNRULY gear!
Thanks again!

Don't push too hard. Take your time to do it right. You and we all want to see you with the best possible product in the end.

I've heard from friends who went to NAB that "our" cases were very well received! They said they were exceptionally well made ... this from folks use to working with the best high end gear.
Creator Daniel Schwegler on April 24, 2012
This is unfortunate but I am still very excited. i am especially excited about the aluminum lens rings.....I did not see that coming. Oh well, keep up the good work and keep us updated.
