Update

Hello Everyone,

Kevin here!  This week's update is to share our progress with backer fulfillment.

Shipping Timeline

Mass production is in full force.  As units are completed they will be forwarded to our Fulfillment company.  They will then be shipped to backers. We have now shipped out over 9,000 orders!  All international orders have now shipped.  If you are an international order and have yet to receive a tracking number please email me:  [email protected].  This is likely due to an address error or language translation error.  I am working to correct these errored addresses as fast as possible.  Be on the lookout for tracking information (via email).

Timeline Goals:

  • Week of December 7th:  We finished shipping international orders!  US orders began shipping in bulk.  Additional 3,300  GravGrip's manufactured and will be forwarded to our fulfillment company first thing next week.
  • Week of December 14th:  Finish shipping 4th batch of 3,300 GravGrip's.  Receive the 5th batch late in the week to finish shipping all Kickstarter orders.
  • Week of December 21st:  Any remaining Kickstarter orders finish shipping 

Above is our best estimate for fulfilling GravGrip orders.  Our fulfillment company (Fulfillrite) is capable of high volume pick and pack shipping.  If this schedule is altered we will relay this information in our weekly update.  All backers will receive tracking information via email.

****Order Confusion****

This has been brought up several times by backers who have received tracking information.  When you receive your tracking number it will include a list of GravGrip products you have ordered.  These descriptions are for customs and translate to the following:

Mechanical Camera Stabilizer = GravGrip  (Includes Cell Phone and Action Camera Adapter)

Plastic Camera Mount = Tripod Adapter

Plastic Camera Handle = Small Hand Grip
Aluminum telescopic pole for cameras = Extension Pole

User Guide + Video Guide

Our written user guide is now complete and is viewable at gravgrip.com/guide.  Note:  Updates and small changes may be made to our guide over the coming weeks.

Our video guide is now available on Youtube HERE!  The video guide is very important for all backers to view.  There are many ways to set GravGrip™ to work, we are here to help and will continue to educate backers on the best methods for using GravGrip™.

Important: Reading our guide, you will notice the many orientations GravGrip™ can operate.  All GravGrip™ users should try each recommended orientation to learn which best suits their needs.

Conclusion

It has been a crazy week here at GravGrip™!  We are busy answering questions and happy to hear many backers have received and are enjoying their GravGrip's!  


Thank you for your continued support and patience,

Update

Hello Everyone,

Kevin here!  This week's update is to share our progress with backer fulfillment. 

Shipping Timeline

Mass production is in full force.  As units are completed they will be forwarded to our Fulfillment company.  They will then be shipped to backers. We have shipped out roughly 6,000 orders so far!  There are around 800 international orders left to be shipped first thing next week.  US orders will also begin in bulk first thing next week.  Unfortunately, the holiday week mixed with Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales (this slowed our fulfillment provider down) slowed our roll more than anticipated.  We are working hard to play catch up!  Be on the lookout for tracking information (via email).

Timeline Goals:

  • Week of November 30th:  Delivered 3,300 GravGrips to our fulfillment company. Shipped the 2nd batch of ~3,000 orders (International Focus).  Additional 3,300 GravGrips manufactured and shipped to our fulfillment company.
  • Week of December 7th:  Ship the 3rd batch of GravGrip's first thing next week.  Ship the remaining 800 international orders.  Begin Bulk US Shipping early in the week (United States Focus).  Additional 3,300 - 5,000 GravGrips to arrive late in the week.  Ship 4th batch late in the week or first thing the following week.
  • Week of December 14th:  Finish shipping 4th batch of 3,300 - 5,000 GravGrip's.  Receive the 5th batch to finish shipping all Kickstarter orders.

Above is our best estimate for fulfilling GravGrip orders.  Our fulfillment company (Fulfillrite) is capable of high volume pick and pack shipping.  If this schedule is altered we will relay this information in our weekly update.  All backers will receive tracking information via email.

Our video guide will be posted tomorrow.  Our guide will be available on Youtube HERE.  I will also spread the word.  The video guide is very important for all backers to view.   The video guide will clear up any confusion for those who have already received their GravGrip™ unit.  There are many ways to get GravGrip™ to work, we are looking forward to educating our backers.


Important: Reading our guide, you will notice the many orientations GravGrip™ can operate.  All GravGrip™ users should try each recommended orientation to learn which best suits their needs.  

Conclusion

It has been a crazy week here at GravGrip™!  Things are moving fast and many have started receiving their units.  We are quickly learning we need to post our video guide asap.  We have helped many get on the right path through email and direct messages, but that has proven time-consuming.  Once our video guide goes live tomorrow it will be a great source for backers to learn the ins and outs of GravGrip™ operation!

Thank you for your continued support and patience,

Update

Hello Everyone,

Kevin here!  I'm happy to see many of you commenting that you have received tracking information.  It feels good to see the fulfillment process begin.  Over 2,900 orders have been shipped out this week!  We will continue to post weekly updates so everyone knows where we stand with shipping.

Shipping Plan

We have a change in plans to our shipping rollout strategy.  With COVID-19 concerns growing we are focusing on weeks 1 and 2 shipments to international destinations (week 2 being this upcoming week).  The sooner we get these orders out the door the better.  We want to avoid any potential service provider delays similar to those earlier this year.  This also allows for most international orders to arrive before Christmas.  

There will be US orders sent out as well, but at a lower rate than our international orders.  US orders in bulk will begin according to the timeline below.  We are sorry to any early backers hoping to have had first dibs on shipment.  The good news, US orders will likely arrive before most if not all international orders.

Timeline

Mass production is in full force.  As units are completed they will be forwarded to our Fulfillment company.  They will then be shipped to backers. We have shipped out 2,911 orders in the past 2 days!  Be on the lookout for tracking information (via email).

Timeline Goals:

  • Week of November 16th:  Delivered 3,300 GravGrip's to our fulfillment company.  Shipped 2,911 orders (International focus)
  • Week of November 23rd:  Deliver 3,000-5,000 GravGrips to our fulfillment company.  Ship second batch of orders. (International focus)
  • Week of November 30th:  Deliver 3,000-5,000 GravGrips to our fulfillment company.  Ship third batch of orders (United States Focus, 2-3 day shipping!)
  • Week of December 7th:  Ship remaining orders (if any).  (United States Focus, 2-3 day shipping!)

Above is our best estimate for fulfilling GravGrip orders.  Our fulfillment company (Fulfillrite) is capable of high volume pick and pack shipping.  If this schedule is altered we will relay this information.  All backers will receive tracking information via email.

Aluminum telescopic pole for cameras = Extension Pole


User Guide

Our user guide will go live sometime next week at gravgrip.com/guide .  I will be working on a video guide this weekend.  I hope to have this up sometime next week as well.  As you wait for your orders to ship, this will be a great reference to review and learn how GravGrip works!

Conclusion

This has been a crazy and exciting week!  It feels great to know our backers will be receiving their pledge rewards very soon.  We couldn't have reached this milestone without your support, thank you for that!  The future of GravGrip™ is looking bright.  We have a number of cool adapters/accessories in the works, the new and improved gravgrip.com is soon to launch, and our community is about to begin filming with our product.  We can't wait to see what you guys film!  Be sure to tag #gravgrip on social media, we will be sure to share!


Thank you for your continued support and patience,
