    Lowell reacted to majoraxis in Development Update - AFX Focus Module For PBC   
    Indiegogo AFX campaign update #6 (things that caught my eye in bold.) Here’s the link if you what to see the official update with pictures and correct formatting: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/afx-autofocus-adapter#/updates/all
    “Shipping Update 27/02/21
    Unfortunately, we have to inform you of another short delay to our anticipated commencement of despatch date of 28th February.
    As per our last update, the potential challenge to that date being met was the main AFX boards not being completed in time for the commencement of Chinese New Year break and this ultimately was the case.
    We had built in some allowance for this happening but there has still been insufficient time since the resumption of work after the holiday for them to be completed.
    The fabrication plant has indicated that we should now expect completion on the 5th/6th of March.
    As the full production run of the housings for the units have now been received, we have been able to mitigate this extra delay slightly by completing the sub-assemblies of all AFX units and this will cut the final assembly time after the arrival of the processor boards from four days to two days before despatch begins.
    This also means that the full production run of the reduced size MMX is now complete and ready to despatch with the AFX.
    We have also added the following enhancements to the firmware of the AFX :
    Support for Tilta focus wheel to manually adjust focus alongside the AF capabilities of the AFX (for both electronic and motor controlled lenses)
    User preference option to use the REC button on the Tilta wheel to engage/disengage the AF of the AFX.
    Switchable option for focus motor direction in both calibration and lens loading functions.
    Adjustable calibration positive/negative offset setting when loading lens to enable re-location of the AFX without re-calibration.
    To enable more flexible mounting and directional change of the unit, and as a small token of our gratitude for your patience, we have now included a ball head mounting adapter with your AFX when it is despatched and we have also created a focus chart for you to download and print out to aid the calibration process.
    In what we anticipate to be the short run up to despatch, we will issue an individual update as the key points have been met.
    Despatch from the fabrication plant.
    Customs clearance.
    Receipt by ourselves for final assembly.
    Commencement of despatch to backers.
    Once again, we apologise for the delay and again thank you in advance for your patience whilst we complete this process.”
