@philiplipetz That's a good idea - we could start a secondary market for people looking to unload...er, I mean "sell" their Kickstarter slots. I'll start the bidding at...uh, what is that Kickstarter slot for a Bolex worth?...hmm....shit, why not, I'll go $10. Any takers?
Anyone want to sell their Kickstarter slot? I'll take it.
They also have few fun photos with parts for 5 cameras :-)
but why take so long to do so?
May be they just have nothing else to show.
Worst thing is that people do not understand that they could make this stills images using same industrial camera they used before. In fact they could show them at any time even more than year ago.
Someday I'll learn to read before posting. ;)
(I'd delete my post if I could)
Yes, if you look few post above you'll find this link :-) And later discussion of hippies post :-)
Looks like they finally got some frames out of Digital Bolex.
When the camera work (year 2154) - 32 fps become the new standard. :-)
OK, Sorry my bad. I forgot that this hippies are real visionaries.
Yes, as usual it is amazing text.
This was the first time we could hold the camera and see the display live.
Hmm.
While the top screen was working, we couldn’t yet record because the sensor clock and the frame buffer were running out of sync. This was because they were writing new firmware for 24fps instead of 32. They expected to have this completed the next day.
Why they wrote firmware for 32fps in first hand?
It's a real horror film: http://www.digitalbolex.com/alive/
-"On day two the clocks were in sync, but something on the hardware had been shorted out. " -"On the third and last day we were there, I walked into the office and Mike said, “It works”. At least to a level I could shoot a few test images. We were ecstatic. The 24fps recording was still not finished, but we could record."
Directors and DPs should not moonlight as camera designers.
I suggest to check their Facebook and Twitter

Their posts looks very strange, like statements that their server is working now.
