Nice one. You'd both better start dusting off and brushing up on your video editing skills  We will be waiting patiently

I guess you should have them within the next week

Hopefully, I'll know later today.  I'm just hoping that changing to black earlier in the week got me back in order with the others (I'm #29)!!

I am backer 218 so it will probably take a week or so before they ship to me. Still I will document the goggles with video or photos

Received (and replied to) my validation email from Orqa about 20 minutes ago!!!


Here's the remainder of the text, for the curious...

Quote:We start shipping today, starting from Backer #001, until the last pledged order has been fulfilled. Good news for all of you later backers is that all three batches will have been merged in one continuous shipping process.

When we ship your unit, you will get another email from me, with more info.

But I would like to leave you with one final thought: the day you receive your goggles is not where our relationship ends — on the contrary, it will only be the beginning.

There’s a great deal of cool and powerful tech in your FPV.One goggles, that the potential for future functionality is truly game-changing. We’ve given you a hint of what to expect in our lates marketing campaign, but that’s just the beginning. There’s so much new cool features to unlock, and I’m very excited about what lies ahead.

You can expect a steady stream of firmware updates from us in the coming months, and we count on you playing a key role in this process. We will rely on your valuable input to make this product even better in the future. Whether it’s fixes of any potential bugs that you may encounter, or a brilliant idea that you may have.

Your backer number is going to be your priority pass to a direct communication channel to Orqa. You gave us your trust and your support when we needed it the most, and you deserve our ear in perpetuity.

Since colours of FPV.One were strech goals of Kickstarter campaign, process was added with the supplier in a later stage for Navy Blue and Silver Gray. We will be getting mass quantity in 3-4 weeks. For that reason, we decided to offer you a opportunity to change colour from Navy Blue or Silver gray without any charges if you do not wish to wait for painted ones. I promise after we ship out all the units we will find a way to make it up to you guys for the wait.


Yours sincerely,
Srdjan

So mine should go out with DHL tomorrow!!

Sloscotty, good to hear.

The address is wrong!!

I live in the UK not US

Ivan is down at Daytona with GetFPV and a couple of sets of goggles at a MultiGP event.  Many pilots are getting to check out/try out FPV.One.  Here is one of the first reviews coming out of that:

Dude those things look sooo sick. I actually like the silver version better. If the pic I saw was the silver version it looks more off-white.

Wow Vanover switching to Orqas. Not that I'm a fanboi of his but that's quite a testament!

ME TOO!!  I thought mine would go out yesterday, but they had more email server problems and only made it as far as #19.  Hopefully the glue and tape they've put on it now will hold it together for another 10 units Monday (I'm #29.)

I've got a draft already started that I'll post as soon as they arrive!
