I don't know why nobody has thought or asked this:

1. If it is modular in the manner that it is, how study is it after connecting it the way it is. I hope it doesn't suffer from misalignment, breakage etc. 
2. I wonder how fast the modular connection port transfer is. Since it doesn't have a common motherboard, I am guessing the reliability of ports is far more important here.


I am guessing that the basic camera (that is sold) will have most functions, and the modules will add more, or improve existing features.
Someone mentioned that it won't work without the extra sound module. I am not sure that may be the case. It says, "AUDIO ELEMENT
Your camera "expands its audio capabilities" when you add the Audio Element. Features include 2 mic inputs with phantom power, balanced analog output, and 1/8” stereo headphone jack for monitoring."

Sound quality Improves (due to the preamps), and monitoring is available with the sound module. 

Actually mercer did approach Your subjects earlier, but I think there is one thing in particular everyone should take a closer look at and those who have legal minds can if needed warn us about any "future-incidents" and their eventual right to KEEP the deposits ...

Reserving Craft Cameras

1 When you reserve a Craft Camera, you agree to pay any amounts and fees we may charge you for the Craft Camera (which may vary from a deposit to payment of the full purchase price of the Craft Camera). Before you are required to make any payment, you will have an opportunity to review and accept the amount that you will be charged to you. All payments are in U.S. Dollars. We will charge the payment method you specify at the time of payment. You hereby authorize us to charge all sums described herein to such payment method.

Nothing in these Terms shall be construed to obligate us to maintain and support the Service, or any part or portion thereof, during the term of these Terms.

Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, CRAFT DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, MERCHANTABILITY, TITLE, QUALITY, AND NONINFRINGEMENT. CRAFT EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICE, INCLUDING WITH RESPECT TO THE ACCURACY OR FUNCTIONALITY OF THE SERVICE, THE ACCURACY, VALIDITY, OR COMPLETENESS OF ANY INFORMATION AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SERVICE.

Limitation of Liability

NOTWITHSTANDING THE FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY OF ANY KIND, NEITHER CRAFT NOR ANY OF ITS LICENSORS, SPONSORS, AGENTS, SUCCESSORS, OR ASSIGNS, NOR OUR OR THEIR DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CONSULTANTS, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVES, ARE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, OR OTHER DAMAGES (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, LOST SAVINGS, OR LOSS OF DATA) OR LIABILITIES UNDER ANY CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHER THEORY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING IN ANY MANNER TO THE SERVICE OR THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THESE TERMS, WHETHER OR NOT WE HAVE BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES OR LIABILITIES. YOU EXPRESSLY AGREE TO RELEASE AND PROMISE NOT TO SUE CRAFT OR ANY OF ITS LICENSORS, SPONSORS, AGENTS, SUCCESSORS, OR ASSIGNS, OR OUR OR THEIR DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CONSULTANTS, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVES WITH RESPECT TO ANY SUCH DAMAGES OR LIABILITIES. YOUR SOLE REMEDY WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICE IS TO STOP USING THE SERVICE. NEITHER CRAFT NOR ANY OF ITS LICENSORS, SPONSORS, AGENTS, SUCCESSORS, OR ASSIGNS, NOR OUR OR THEIR DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CONSULTANTS, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVES WILL HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY DAMAGES, EXPENSES OR OTHER LIABILITY INCURRED BY YOU AS A RESULT OF ANY INACCURACY, INCOMPLETENESS OR MISREPRESENTATION OF ANY INFORMATION, CONTENT, POSTINGS OR SUBMISSIONS PROVIDED ON THE SERVICE BY THIRD PARTIES.

EACH PROVISION OF THESE TERMS THAT PROVIDES FOR A LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES, OR EXCLUSION OF DAMAGES IS TO ALLOCATE THE RISKS UNDER THESE TERMS BETWEEN THE PARTIES. THIS ALLOCATION IS AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN THE PARTIES. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT CRAFT HAS OFFERED ITS SITE, SET ITS PRICES, AND ENTERED INTO THIS AGREEMENT IN RELIANCE UPON THE WARRANTY DISCLAIMERS AND THE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY SET FORTH HEREIN, THAT THE WARRANTY DISCLAIMERS AND THE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY SET FORTH HEREIN REFLECT A REASONABLE AND FAIR ALLOCATION OF RISK BETWEEN YOU AND CRAFT, AND THAT THE WARRANTY DISCLAIMERS AND THE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY SET FORTH HEREIN FORM AN ESSENTIAL BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN YOU AND CRAFT.

Indemnity

You agree to fully indemnify, defend, and hold Craft, our licensors, suppliers, agents, successors, and assigns and our and their directors, officers, employees, consultants, and other representatives, harmless from and against any and all liability, claims, demands, cases and costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by such indemnified parties, in connection with or arising out of the use or misuse of the Service by you or by third parties whom you have permitted to use the Service ("Permitted Users"), your violation of these Terms, violation of any applicable law or regulation by you or a Permitted User, or a violation of the rights of any third parties by you or a Permitted User related to the use of the Service.

Jurisdictional Issues

Craft makes no representation that the Service operates (or is legally permitted to operate) in all geographic areas, or that the Service is appropriate or available for use in other locations. Using the Service from territories where the Service or any content or functionality of the Service or portion thereof is illegal is expressly prohibited. If you or a Permitted User chooses to use the Service, you agree and acknowledge that you and such Permitted User do so on each party’s own initiative and at each party’s own risk, and that you are solely responsible for compliance with all applicable laws.

Dispute Resolution

1 In the interest of resolving disputes between you and Craft in the most expedient and cost effective manner, you and Craft agree that any and all disputes arising in connection with these Terms or the use of the Service shall be resolved by binding arbitration. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and can be subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. Our agreement to arbitrate disputes includes, but is not limited to all claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of these Terms, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether the claims arise during or after the termination of these Terms. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND CRAFT ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

2 Notwithstanding subsection (a), we both agree that nothing herein shall be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit either of our right to (i) bring an individual action in small claims court, (ii) pursue enforcement actions through applicable federal, state, or local agencies where such actions are available, (iii) seek injunctive relief in a court of law, or (iv) to file suit in a court of law to address intellectual property infringement claims.

3 Any arbitration between you and Craft will be governed by the Consumer Arbitration Rules (collectively, "AAA Rules") of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), as modified by these Terms, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1–800–778–7879, or by contacting Craft.

4 A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other, by certified mail or Federal Express (signature required), or in the event that we do not have a physical address on file for you, by electronic mail ("Notice"). Craft’s address for Notice is: 4355 Cobb Pkwy. Suite J109 Atlanta, GA 30339. The Notice must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought ("Demand"). We agree to use good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if we do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or Craft may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or Craft shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any; provided that if our dispute is finally resolved through arbitration in your favor, Craft shall pay you the greater of (i) the amount awarded by the arbitrator, if any, and (ii) the greatest amount offered by Craft in settlement of the dispute prior to the arbitrator’s award.

5 In the event that you commence arbitration in accordance with these Terms, Craft will reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for greater than $10,000, in which case the payment of any fees shall be decided by the AAA Rules. Any arbitration hearings will take place at a location to be agreed upon in Fulton County, Georgia, provided that if the claim is for $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a non-appearance based telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In such case, you agree to reimburse Craft for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits.

6 YOU AND CRAFT AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and Craft agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.

7 In the event that Craft makes any future change to this arbitration provision (other than a change to the Craft’s address for Notice), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to Craft’s address for Notice, in which case your account with Craft shall be immediately terminated and this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the amendments you reject shall survive.

8 All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, including but not limited to the award of the arbitrator and compliance therewith, shall be strictly confidential. The parties agree to maintain confidentiality unless otherwise required by law. This paragraph shall not prevent a party from submitting to a court of law any information necessary to enforce this agreement, to enforce an arbitration award, or to seek injunctive or equitable relief.

9 If only Subsection 6 of this section or the entirety of this section is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this section shall be null and void and, in such case, the parties agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in the "Miscellaneous" section shall govern any action arising out of or related to these Terms.

No Agency

No agency, partnership, joint venture, employer-employee or franchiser-franchisee relationship is intended or created by these Terms.

Miscellaneous

These Terms, whether interpreted in a court of law or in arbitration, shall be governed by and interpreted according to the laws of the State of Georgia as they apply to agreements entered into and to be performed entirely within Georgia by Georgia residents, and without regard to conflict of law principles. To the extent that any lawsuit or court proceeding is permitted hereunder, you and Craft agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state courts and federal courts located within the Northern District of Georgia for the purpose of litigating all such claims or disputes. These Terms (including the various additional terms incorporated herein by reference) constitute the entire agreement between you and Craft, and supersedes any and all prior agreements, negotiations, or other communications between you and Craft, whether oral or written, with respect to the subject matter hereof, and, except as expressly provided herein, cannot be modified except in writing signed by both parties. Except as set forth in Section 6 of "Dispute Resolution" above, in the event that any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, then: (a) such provision shall be deemed reformed to the extent strictly necessary to render such provision valid and enforceable, or if not capable of such reformation shall be deemed severed from these Terms; and (b) the validity and enforceability of all of the other provisions hereof, shall in no way be affected or impaired thereby. You agree to abide by all applicable laws in your use of the Service, including export control laws and similar regulations governing the transfer of software and other technology outside of the United States or other jurisdictions. You may not assign these Terms without the prior written consent of Craft, whether expressly or by operation of law, including in connection with a merger or change of control, and any such attempted assignment shall be void and of no effect. Craft may assign these Terms without restriction. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms shall be binding on the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns, heirs, and estates. You acknowledge and understand that if Craft is unable to provide the Service as a result of a force majeure event Craft will not be in breach of these Terms. A force majeure event means any event beyond the control of Craft. The failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, a right, power or remedy provided in these Terms or by law shall not constitute a waiver of that right, power or remedy. Craft’s waiver of any obligation or breach of these Terms shall not operate as a waiver of any other obligation or subsequent breach of these Terms.

edit: FFS, just post a link, instead of all that shit!

I mean all companies have small print that can fuck you - ever read the iTunes agreement?

 

If they can actually deliver & the image is good, then this could be a groundbreaking product. You could simply start off with a simple set up & use what you've got already. Then buy as you go, until you have what you want.

If it has a sensor as good as or better than the (put your camera of choice here - not going to get into that debate here), it'll be a winner?

And...look,...they...gave...you...120fps...for...all...you...slo-mo...freaks...!

I wonder if its the same company that was talking about doing a modular camera a few years ago? Think that might have been a photography camera though?

Reserving Craft Cameras

1 When you reserve a Craft Camera, you agree to pay any amounts and fees we may charge you for the Craft Camera (which may vary from a deposit to payment of the full purchase price of the Craft Camera). Before you are required to make any payment, you will have an opportunity to review and accept the amount that you will be charged to you. All payments are in U.S. Dollars. We will charge the payment method you specify at the time of payment. You hereby authorize us to charge all sums described herein to such payment method. If you make any applicable payment with a credit card, we may seek pre-authorization of your credit card account prior to your purchase to verify that the credit card is valid and has the necessary funds or credit available to cover your purchase. We may change the required purchase price for the Craft Cameras from time to time by posting the changes on the Site.

2 You agree that we may cancel or refund your payment amount at any time prior to the date on which we ship the Craft Camera(s) for any reason, and if we do so, we are not required to fulfill your reservation.

3 If you cancel your reservation any time prior to the time we ship the Craft Camera(s), we will refund to you the amounts that you paid. After the Craft Camera(s) have shipped, we have no obligation to provide refunds or credits, but we may grant them in extenuating circumstances, as a result of specific refund guarantee promotions, or to correct any errors made by us, in each case in our sole discretion.

4 Our fees are net of any applicable Sales Tax. If the Craft Camera(s) are subject to Sales Tax in any jurisdiction and you have not remitted the applicable Sales Tax to us, you will be responsible for the payment of such Sales Tax and any related penalties or interest to the relevant tax authority and you will indemnify us for any liability or expense we may incur in connection with such Sales Tax. Upon our request, you will provide us with official receipts issued by the appropriate taxing authority, or other such evidence that you have paid all applicable taxes. For purposes of this section, “Sales Tax” shall mean any sales or use tax, and any other tax measured by sales proceeds, that we are permitted to pass to customers that is the functional equivalent of a sales tax where the applicable taxing jurisdiction does not otherwise impose a sales or use tax.

5 When you reserve a Craft Camera, you acknowledge that the design and specifications of the Craft Camera, and the Services, may be altered by us prior to final delivery. If such changes are made, you will be notified in accordance with our standard practices and have an opportunity to cancel your reservation in accordance with these Terms. You acknowledge that termination of your reservation shall be your only means of recourse in the event of such changes in design and specification of the Craft Camera and/or Services.

Craft may immediately terminate these Terms, and/or your access to and use of the Service, or any portion thereof, at any time and for any reason, with or without cause, without prior notice.

Upon termination of these Terms by either party, your right to use the Service shall immediately cease, and you shall destroy all copies of information that you have obtained from the Service, whether made under these Terms or otherwise. All disclaimers and all limitations of liability and all Craft rights of ownership shall survive any termination.

We reserve the right at any time and from time to time to modify, discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Service, or any part or portion thereof, with or without notice to you. You agree that we shall not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension or discontinuance of the Service, or any part of portion thereof. Nothing in these Terms shall be construed to obligate us to maintain and support the Service, or any part or portion thereof, during the term of these Terms.

Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, CRAFT DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, MERCHANTABILITY, TITLE, QUALITY, AND NONINFRINGEMENT. CRAFT EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICE, INCLUDING WITH RESPECT TO THE ACCURACY OR FUNCTIONALITY OF THE SERVICE, THE ACCURACY, VALIDITY, OR COMPLETENESS OF ANY INFORMATION AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SERVICE.

Limitation of Liability

NOTWITHSTANDING THE FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY OF ANY KIND, NEITHER CRAFT NOR ANY OF ITS LICENSORS, SPONSORS, AGENTS, SUCCESSORS, OR ASSIGNS, NOR OUR OR THEIR DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CONSULTANTS, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVES, ARE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, OR OTHER DAMAGES (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, LOST SAVINGS, OR LOSS OF DATA) OR LIABILITIES UNDER ANY CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHER THEORY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING IN ANY MANNER TO THE SERVICE OR THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THESE TERMS, WHETHER OR NOT WE HAVE BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES OR LIABILITIES. YOU EXPRESSLY AGREE TO RELEASE AND PROMISE NOT TO SUE CRAFT OR ANY OF ITS LICENSORS, SPONSORS, AGENTS, SUCCESSORS, OR ASSIGNS, OR OUR OR THEIR DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CONSULTANTS, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVES WITH RESPECT TO ANY SUCH DAMAGES OR LIABILITIES. YOUR SOLE REMEDY WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICE IS TO STOP USING THE SERVICE. NEITHER CRAFT NOR ANY OF ITS LICENSORS, SPONSORS, AGENTS, SUCCESSORS, OR ASSIGNS, NOR OUR OR THEIR DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CONSULTANTS, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVES WILL HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY DAMAGES, EXPENSES OR OTHER LIABILITY INCURRED BY YOU AS A RESULT OF ANY INACCURACY, INCOMPLETENESS OR MISREPRESENTATION OF ANY INFORMATION, CONTENT, POSTINGS OR SUBMISSIONS PROVIDED ON THE SERVICE BY THIRD PARTIES.

EACH PROVISION OF THESE TERMS THAT PROVIDES FOR A LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES, OR EXCLUSION OF DAMAGES IS TO ALLOCATE THE RISKS UNDER THESE TERMS BETWEEN THE PARTIES. THIS ALLOCATION IS AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN THE PARTIES. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT CRAFT HAS OFFERED ITS SITE, SET ITS PRICES, AND ENTERED INTO THIS AGREEMENT IN RELIANCE UPON THE WARRANTY DISCLAIMERS AND THE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY SET FORTH HEREIN, THAT THE WARRANTY DISCLAIMERS AND THE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY SET FORTH HEREIN REFLECT A REASONABLE AND FAIR ALLOCATION OF RISK BETWEEN YOU AND CRAFT, AND THAT THE WARRANTY DISCLAIMERS AND THE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY SET FORTH HEREIN FORM AN ESSENTIAL BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN YOU AND CRAFT.

Indemnity

You agree to fully indemnify, defend, and hold Craft, our licensors, suppliers, agents, successors, and assigns and our and their directors, officers, employees, consultants, and other representatives, harmless from and against any and all liability, claims, demands, cases and costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by such indemnified parties, in connection with or arising out of the use or misuse of the Service by you or by third parties whom you have permitted to use the Service ("Permitted Users"), your violation of these Terms, violation of any applicable law or regulation by you or a Permitted User, or a violation of the rights of any third parties by you or a Permitted User related to the use of the Service.

Jurisdictional Issues

Craft makes no representation that the Service operates (or is legally permitted to operate) in all geographic areas, or that the Service is appropriate or available for use in other locations. Using the Service from territories where the Service or any content or functionality of the Service or portion thereof is illegal is expressly prohibited. If you or a Permitted User chooses to use the Service, you agree and acknowledge that you and such Permitted User do so on each party’s own initiative and at each party’s own risk, and that you are solely responsible for compliance with all applicable laws.

Dispute Resolution

1 In the interest of resolving disputes between you and Craft in the most expedient and cost effective manner, you and Craft agree that any and all disputes arising in connection with these Terms or the use of the Service shall be resolved by binding arbitration. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and can be subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. Our agreement to arbitrate disputes includes, but is not limited to all claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of these Terms, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether the claims arise during or after the termination of these Terms. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND CRAFT ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

2 Notwithstanding subsection (a), we both agree that nothing herein shall be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit either of our right to (i) bring an individual action in small claims court, (ii) pursue enforcement actions through applicable federal, state, or local agencies where such actions are available, (iii) seek injunctive relief in a court of law, or (iv) to file suit in a court of law to address intellectual property infringement claims.

3 Any arbitration between you and Craft will be governed by the Consumer Arbitration Rules (collectively, "AAA Rules") of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), as modified by these Terms, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1–800–778–7879, or by contacting Craft.

4 A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other, by certified mail or Federal Express (signature required), or in the event that we do not have a physical address on file for you, by electronic mail ("Notice"). Craft’s address for Notice is: 4355 Cobb Pkwy. Suite J109 Atlanta, GA 30339. The Notice must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought ("Demand"). We agree to use good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if we do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or Craft may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or Craft shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any; provided that if our dispute is finally resolved through arbitration in your favor, Craft shall pay you the greater of (i) the amount awarded by the arbitrator, if any, and (ii) the greatest amount offered by Craft in settlement of the dispute prior to the arbitrator’s award.

5 In the event that you commence arbitration in accordance with these Terms, Craft will reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for greater than $10,000, in which case the payment of any fees shall be decided by the AAA Rules. Any arbitration hearings will take place at a location to be agreed upon in Fulton County, Georgia, provided that if the claim is for $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a non-appearance based telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In such case, you agree to reimburse Craft for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits.

6 YOU AND CRAFT AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and Craft agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.

7 In the event that Craft makes any future change to this arbitration provision (other than a change to the Craft’s address for Notice), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to Craft’s address for Notice, in which case your account with Craft shall be immediately terminated and this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the amendments you reject shall survive.

8 All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, including but not limited to the award of the arbitrator and compliance therewith, shall be strictly confidential. The parties agree to maintain confidentiality unless otherwise required by law. This paragraph shall not prevent a party from submitting to a court of law any information necessary to enforce this agreement, to enforce an arbitration award, or to seek injunctive or equitable relief.

9 If only Subsection 6 of this section or the entirety of this section is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this section shall be null and void and, in such case, the parties agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in the "Miscellaneous" section shall govern any action arising out of or related to these Terms.

No Agency

No agency, partnership, joint venture, employer-employee or franchiser-franchisee relationship is intended or created by these Terms.

Miscellaneous

These Terms, whether interpreted in a court of law or in arbitration, shall be governed by and interpreted according to the laws of the State of Georgia as they apply to agreements entered into and to be performed entirely within Georgia by Georgia residents, and without regard to conflict of law principles. To the extent that any lawsuit or court proceeding is permitted hereunder, you and Craft agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state courts and federal courts located within the Northern District of Georgia for the purpose of litigating all such claims or disputes. These Terms (including the various additional terms incorporated herein by reference) constitute the entire agreement between you and Craft, and supersedes any and all prior agreements, negotiations, or other communications between you and Craft, whether oral or written, with respect to the subject matter hereof, and, except as expressly provided herein, cannot be modified except in writing signed by both parties. Except as set forth in Section 6 of "Dispute Resolution" above, in the event that any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, then: (a) such provision shall be deemed reformed to the extent strictly necessary to render such provision valid and enforceable, or if not capable of such reformation shall be deemed severed from these Terms; and (b) the validity and enforceability of all of the other provisions hereof, shall in no way be affected or impaired thereby. You agree to abide by all applicable laws in your use of the Service, including export control laws and similar regulations governing the transfer of software and other technology outside of the United States or other jurisdictions. You may not assign these Terms without the prior written consent of Craft, whether expressly or by operation of law, including in connection with a merger or change of control, and any such attempted assignment shall be void and of no effect. Craft may assign these Terms without restriction. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms shall be binding on the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns, heirs, and estates. You acknowledge and understand that if Craft is unable to provide the Service as a result of a force majeure event Craft will not be in breach of these Terms. A force majeure event means any event beyond the control of Craft. The failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, a right, power or remedy provided in these Terms or by law shall not constitute a waiver of that right, power or remedy. Craft’s waiver of any obligation or breach of these Terms shall not operate as a waiver of any other obligation or subsequent breach of these Terms.

Like I said before, I am also a lawyer, among other things. I went to sleep somewhere in between reading the starting clauses. hehehe.

I would wait for the product to hit the shelves. But, it does seem promising. I would wait for someone famous to take the plunge, and then see the results and take a call. 

Actually, their clauses are a parallel to public platform funding (IndieGogo, Kickstarter etc). America has a very curious system of civil suits. Corporations are fined in millions, and even in billions, in damages. Though, I feel, a lot of those corporations genuinely deserve it. Maybe that is why they have this agreement (from many clauses indicating therein).

I kinda like it! Even if you'd be using the whole set-up, it's still pretty sweet. I like the modularity. Especially when you think about future upgrades... new sensor? Alright, just pop it right in front. You want to shoot a S16 project? Swap out the 4K S35 for the S16 module. The grip looks cool. It still will be a fraction of the costs of a traditional cinema camera, even when adding all the elements, which I do kinda agree with, you probably gonna add 'em all. Will they manage to pull it off? Within the time frame? Within the possibilities? With the global shutter? Not sure, but time's gonna tell. Atleast it's an interesting approach and gives the others something to think about...

Seems pretty cool, although you really don't need an audio module in a "cinema" setup. Cinema shoots use external sound-- even low-budget student projects like mine. That said, nice to have the option for doc/run and gun shooters.

But if you have no guide track at all with the camera recordings the synching up gets quite a bit more of a hassle. Therefore a regular 3.5mm jack for scratch audio would have been nice. Sure, it works anyway, just saying.

Not every shooter needs "cinema" setups indeed... Aside the fact, low-budget may mean a different thing in the XXI century. That one is something the film world needs to adapt to.

what about 4K video element + Blackmagic new 4K recorded…..Total = 1,399 + 895 = 2,294….and we have full 4K camera with excellent audio and very light…..could be a winner? 

I'm thinking exactly the same. But some drawbacks in mind is that the slo-mo is not possible anymore with the VA.

Looks a bit like a 3D Design / product design university student major project to me.    Just looking at those renders makes me weep at how many of the mechanical aspects need to be fulfilled flawlessly.  It's all very well drawing something novel and pretty, but making them is another matter.  That sucker looks like they'd need a Sony R+D budget to pull it off at their expected price.  The reason the RED modularity works is that they price their gear to allow for the tremendous costs associated with making them work properly.  

I hope I'm wrong and they deliver because if they don;t I can see a handful of optimistic early adopters being very disappointed.

Except that the new modules won't be compatible with the old modules :). It is poor business practice when you provide your clients the opportunity to upgrade their old gear for $500 instead of requiring them to upgrade everything for $5000 :). Cash flow my friend, cash flow.

Beating Blackmagic at their own game.

Kinda, not really. Blackmagic delivers, eventually, but their design isn't nearly this sexy. The Ursa "Mini" is still quite a large camera by my standards, big enough to need the next class of support gear above lightweight/compact DSLR-oriented stuff, which is all that I'm usually willing to schlep around when I'm shooting.
