I wonder how much of a real issue this is? Not to diminish your concerns, rot8tion, but remember they used to say stay away from the microwave when it's in use.

Not to diminish your concerns, rot8tion, but remember they used to say stay away from the microwave when it's in use. Yep, I still do! The microwaves at work are set on a shelf about noodle high. I make sure to hit start, then back up about five or so feet. Ever get to see just how much RF power escapes out of the edges of the door? I’m not concerned at a distance because the signal attenuates quickly, but up close it’s a threat. ![[-]](https://intofpv.com/images/collapse.png) • Posts: 2,416 Threads: 51 Likes Received: 1,861 in 1,175 posts Likes Given: 3,315 Joined: Mar 2016 Reputation: 74 07-Nov-2019, 11:07 PM (This post was last modified: 07-Nov-2019, 11:30 PM by sloscotty.) Orqa posted a "polished" marketing video as part of their kickoff over on the Orqa FB page. Here is a direct link to the video - I think you need a FB account to view it, sorry. Can't find it on their YT channel yet. (They don't seem to have launched the promised new website yet, though...) Here's the text that went along with the video: • Posts: 12,098 Threads: 125 Likes Received: 3,739 in 2,836 posts Likes Given: 99 Joined: Feb 2017 Reputation: 388 You don't need Facebook to view.

I can see how the social media integration would appealed to some.

Yes, that's what I understand. I don't know if it is completely enclosed or not, or has an antenna exposed or controls exposed, etc. The photo on the Kickstarter page may not show everything (or even be what it looks like now). • Posts: 21,377 Threads: 592 Likes Received: 9,024 in 6,678 posts Likes Given: 1,428 Joined: Jun 2018 Reputation: 793 08-Nov-2019, 01:56 PM (This post was last modified: 08-Nov-2019, 01:58 PM by SnowLeopardFPV.)

Deal Not that I know of, but at least 100 units will ship within 7 days of last Wednesday. Ivan has mentioned a few times on FB just today that goggles will ship next week. • Posts: 2,416 Threads: 51 Likes Received: 1,861 in 1,175 posts Likes Given: 3,315 Joined: Mar 2016 Reputation: 74 08-Nov-2019, 02:14 PM (This post was last modified: 08-Nov-2019, 02:16 PM by sloscotty.)

I'm sort of hoping for this, but a lot of backers chose to purchase the connect module as a stretch goal add-on after the KS campaign. So if they include it free for everyone, they'll have to refund a portion of some backers' money. Seems like a bit of bookkeeping nightmare... • Posts: 21,377 Threads: 592 Likes Received: 9,024 in 6,678 posts Likes Given: 1,428 Joined: Jun 2018 Reputation: 793 (08-Nov-2019, 02:14 PM)sloscotty Wrote: I'm sort of hoping for this, but a lot of backers chose to purchase the connect module as a stretch goal during the KS campaign.

In which case I don't really get why the FPV.Connect module is going to be included free in future goggle bundles (I guess this will be "regular supplier stock" once the KS has ended and all backer have their goggles). The goggles were ~100 Euros cheaper in the KS. The FPV.Connect module was 49 Euros. So future bundles with the FPV.Connect will then only end up being ~50 Euros cheaper then they were on KS. That's a bit of a kick in the teeth to kickstarters if you ask me, because it then means the KS backers didn't get such a good deal by risking the huge amount of money they all put up 4 or so months ago. ORQA need to include that module for free to all KS backers and then either refund the ones who already paid for it, or give those people another 49 Euros worth of accessories. • Posts: 2,416 Threads: 51 Likes Received: 1,861 in 1,175 posts Likes Given: 3,315 Joined: Mar 2016 Reputation: 74 (08-Nov-2019, 02:24 PM)SnowLeopardFPV Wrote: In which case I don't really get why the FPV.Connect module is going to be included free in future goggle bundles (I guess this will be "regular supplier stock" once the KS has ended and all backer have their goggles).

I agree, and they might do that. Where did you see that the FPV.Connect would be bundled "for free". When Ivan said to stay tuned for special bundle deals, I thought of something like that, but I have'nt seen the announcement. • Posts: 21,377 Threads: 592 Likes Received: 9,024 in 6,678 posts Likes Given: 1,428 Joined: Jun 2018 Reputation: 793 (08-Nov-2019, 02:30 PM)sloscotty Wrote: Where did you see that the FPV.Connect would be bundled "for free".
