SGblade ordering now online!

One thing I can't get past is the radical height difference between the base of the camera and the base of the adapter. It just looks so "non-pro." And what's with that huge focus gear? I know all the flip adapters have this offset but I think I'll stick with the standard non-flip adapter until someone can design a flip unit that doesn't make the rig look like a backyard built contraption.

This. Major reason why I sold my LEX. Next adapter will be straight. Either a Blade or a G35... I'd rather deal with it in post.

I have to admit that the Blade looks very promising, but the G35 is so simple and solid... I'll wait for more test from the Blade with the final achromat to take my decision.
 
hi Wayne

will be ordering this on the 5th of January, am based in London, how long will I have to wait for it? Cheers mate cant wait :dankk2:
 
Hi Jay,

We have only had ordering up for just over a week and have already sold 25% of our first batch. In order to spread our workload, we have changed the shipping date for new orders to ship between 9th - 16th February. This shipping date is displayed on the SGblade product page on our website, this will update as the ship date changes.

Over the next few months we will catch up and have Blades in stock, ready to ship - onwards and upwards :D

Hi Wayne,

Does this mean that the orders that you already recieved will also have their ship date pushed back or just orders going forward?

Thanks,

Hi

Orders that have already been placed will have the shipping date you received at the time of order.

We are handling the shipping dates in slots to cope with the workload so it will change for new orders only and not for customers that have already ordered.

sorry Wayne one other thing, on your site on camcorder step up ring it states the a1, im guessing this is the xh-a1 needs a 37-73 step up ring, yet sgblade has 72mm thread, is this a typo or will i need to add this ring to my order?
 
Yes, the XH-A1 will connect directly without step rings. The 37mm step ring is for the Sony A1. That is indeed a typo, it should read 37-72 not 37-73, we will change that now, thanks for spotting!
