A positive email this morning and I read it THOROUGHLY.
Obsbot have not only decided to work with us on accessories but have started a whole programme for people to create products that could potentially be made into accessories for others to use.
I hope that other companies will do this in the future and that it spills into the actual cameras themselves 🙌🏾

Once again, thank you everyone for your understanding in my mistake.
Blackmagic have also accepted my apology and I feel that I can really put this to bed now.
My mind has really shifted after this situation and throughout the last 2 months I've learned a lot and this will also be reflected in how I make content from now on.
The problem with @WillvonTagen cage is that it provides far too many rigging options that I can't decide which one I like best 😅
Honestly and from my heart, I've never used a cage so versatile and even more important....I didn't like the design of this cage when seeing it in pictures.
I haven't found a handle or accessory that can't be mounted in some way or another.
We were doing a full cage alongside the wing grip but I honestly don't see a point. We will keep wing grip and expansion pack only
On a more positive note. When I came up with the new housing for the Obsbot Tail Air the company were so happy with the different design and use case that they sent me a whole bunch of stuff to use in my daily creations.
They also said they're interested in producing some of my ideas in a different way.
Thank you Obsbot
Time to take the Magic Lantern content up a notch. We will be visiting @NEOGRAYFILMS soon as he's now using the M-Lite to shoot his shorts. This is going to be wonderful.
BLACKMAGIC MICRO Expansion continues.
The AltCine x Smallrig wing grip will be available in roughly 2 weeks. We're removing the record button so it's a standard small grip with mini arca, NATO, cold shoe and 1 4/20 mounts.
We're also starting the final piece of the puzzle and I'll debut it in about 6 weeks.
Filters are shipping already and probably in some UK customers hands already.
USA/Canada etc will be on the way very soon.
I don't want any delays going forward.
Already planning the next project!
This one will be special
Simon's first rehouse camera. It's a BMPCC OG made with very limited resources.
At first glance your thoughts are probably...big, ugly, rough but after contemplating what he did here, you realise that this is amazing.
Someone posted this in the Filmatura group but I didn't know who created it. Although I was talking to Simon in messenger he was too modest to tell me he built this and his motivation was the m-lite.
I knew from that moment he was the person I was looking for. A guy with ideas, a risk taker and humble 🙌🏾
An alternative view to creating film and content.
