As long as you did not decide to create a single bad copy of a frame, you are going to be fine

[kaitylynn]

BTW, the Mk1 frame is a great tough frame...I was flying like a moron the other day and hit our well's water tank square at about 60kph...no damage! The pack kept going and made it about 30 feet away. Truly appreciate the quality you are offering.

Thanks everyone - your support means a whole heck of a lot more than you probably realize!!    

I'd been dragging my feet on a proper media kit ... and this one's hardly proper.  But at least it's got hi res logos and even a quicky logo stinger video for you to use on your own content ...

Enjoy!

Things just keep getting better      Got the media kit and snagged the short logo video 

Keep up the good work

Restocked some Ronin Mk2 goodness and did up a fancy new "Kuwagata Lipo Pad" for good bling measure.  



The lipo pad is compatible with the Shinobi and Sohei Mk2 which will be dropping very soon.

The Shinobi Mk2 ...  



Really stoked on this one but wow it took a lot of iterations lol.  Specifically to get those props out of view as much as possible.  I wanted to leverage the much beefier frame compared to the Mk1 so it can more effectively handle acro for short range cinematic.  At the same time, I think it's a more capable micro long range than the Mk1 since it is better equipped to properly take a bottom-slung lipo.  Just super stoked all around.

Hi Ronin,

Good Job.    Order placed 

[the.ronin]

Well that went kinda fast!!!    

But full disclosure, I do very small batches both because its all I can afford lol but also because I am lucky to have a shop that turn these small batches around for me very quickly.  So order #2 for more Shinobis is in ETA 1 week ... and Sohei dropping in 3 ... 2 ...


Thank you iFly, intoFPV, and all for giving this passion project a heartbeat.

The 3 inch basher is now out in the wild  



The Sohei Mk2

Whaatttt ...

[iFly4rotors]

Is that hat available? I have got to get one. 

[the.ronin]

Thanks iFly. Just kinda messing around with designs for now. But I do have this hat on order for myself ... cos cmon its so cool lol. I started my own apparel retail biz for a bit and it *sucked* - so if I start selling shirts and stuff, most likely I'll be doing this on demand so 2 weeks lead time. And most likely just for a couple branded shirts and this hat.


[edit] I'd add though that if you're willing to pay extra, I can incorporate your name on the side of the hat or any of the clothing lol. You'll look like a sponsored pilot LOL.

[iFly4rotors]

How much for the hat, just as it is?

[the.ronin]

I don't know yet. I ordered a prototype (I think they call it "comp" in the apparel industry) so it has all these setup fees. Once I'm happy with the design then I get better pricing depending on how many. I'm also considering just setting up a shop on one of those print on demand sites since this is more just merch than my core products.

[the.ronin]

Whhhaatttt ...








[edit] Before anyone gets too excited, there's no way I'm going to be stocking apparel on inventory for roninUAV. Been down that road before and it is no bueno. At least not now - I'm nowhere near big enough to justify this kind of inventory.

To be frank, I'm really just doing this for fun and to make FPV threads I like. If I do end up selling threads, it will be very few and they will be produced on demand - meaning, 1-2 week turnaround time and not really that cheap. To give you some idea, the on demand shop is pricing this shirt as it is for around $25!! lol I know. And even if it is a Bella+Canvas shirt blank (they are fancy), I still think that is a lot. Anyway, I just don't wanna raise expectations.

So with that said, if you got any ideas, let me know and I'll be posting my own FPV schwag designs here to get your feedback!
