Yeah, somebody said that maybe they work Saturday, but somebody else acted like they know it will be Monday ("...know somebody in a store selling googles...") . I think they're both full of   . Then again, they may have shipped 150 units today - Ivan rarely posts important info in a timely fashion.  Usually near midnight local time...

Hard to say, but it looks like I'm gonna have to change the title of this thread...

They were supposed to contact all the backers and confirm the order before shipping? I dont think they will ship anything this week...

I read that in a comment today, but I don't actually remember that being a thing.  I thought that was taken care of as the surveys were completed (or not).  Maybe I'll go back through the KS comments and see if I can find it...(but not today - I'm tired of expending energy on it for today).

I wrote that on FB today so no need to go through it
I might be wrong but i think i heard it on a Q&A or a kickstarter update. Some people pledged for extra stuff (me included) and i havent heard any confirmation on this

So...just found a buried post on reddit/r/OrqaFPV from MaiOnHigh (a couple of hours ago):

Quote:I got confirmation of sending the first goggles this week on the phone

so it's happening

...there seems to be some incredulity from others following that though...

I just watched Lexie's video. I think it's the first time I saw anyone say some negative things about the ORQA's even though some of them are relatively small issues. It's good to see some honest feedback, both good and bad because up until now everything has been portrayed through rose tinted spectacles. We all knew there would be some cons as with any product, but no-one has previously spoken up about any of those, until now.

One thing that did catch my attention is that the IPD adjusters wheels look a bit cheap and plasticy to me. Maybe you need to see them in the flesh to get a better appreciation of them.

I almost can't wait for some impartial and unbiased reviews to come out from the usual suspects.

Well, the usual suspects tried to like the HDOs. If you watch old videos, most people were fake about thier reviews with the HDOs the sceens was underwhelming. Most of the videos made me cringe simply by watching thier facial expression then nearly all of them stuck to their goggles... Im really pissed a FS for releasing those crappy goggles.

I have a feeling that Orqa has already made their first shipments and are just waiting to surprise everyone with a big announcement.  (I just said so in a post on the FB group this morning and noticed Ivan is following the comments this morning and he "hearted" my post...)

Doesn't necessarily mean it's true, but I do have this feeling in my gut...

I am 99% certain about this feeling in my gut!!  The entire post thread I mentioned above has been quietly removed (maybe Ivan gave away a bit too much by hearting my comment )

Can't blame Orqa for wanting to make a huge production out of announcing the release of The Best FPV Goggles on the Planet!  I am expecting a very big announcement from Orqa shortly - within a day or two (if not hours)!! 

hmm, dont think so. It's holiday in croatia.
But I dont mind being wrong :-)

The announcement may not be today, but I suspect they've already made their first shipments earlier this week (probably to reviewers, because I haven't gotten a notice yet and I am a very early backer)!  Their production was ramping up pretty quickly - and I think their "radio silence" this time is because of a pending announcement!  (Of course, it might be me that's wrong and just wishful thinking on my part - we'll see...)

I've just had confirmed that there are a "mind-blowing" number of units of FPV.One ready to be shipped next week.  This came from a reliable source with very close ties to Orqa.  He wouldn't say exactly how many, but that an estimate of 100-200 units that I posted was "way off"!! 

He wasn't sure if other units had already been shipped out or not, but suspected that they had been.  If Oscar isn't under an NDA, he might be able to confirm that...

I think somebody just violated an NDA

Finally, it is happening!!!

I read that they are the final product but Denis is not a backer, he will test or review them

TBS comes through yet again! haha

Those goggles look absolutely BITCHIN'!
