The power of Kickstarter never fails to blow me away.
When I shared my mate James' first KS campaign (a guy I went to school with that has had to put up with me since 2005...) we hoped a few of you would be Peak Design users, but the extent to what this campaign has gone to is so far beyond what was originally hoped for! Absolutely incredible, from me and from him (especially him!) thank you so much for taking the time to check out the campaign and supporting it if it ticked your boxes!
For anyone that hasn't got a clue what I'm talking about, you can click the link or image below:
Another thank you to everyone that has gotten in touch since the last update regarding missing orders - if you haven't got a reply yet please ping through another email, I don't want anything to slip through the cracks.
However, one slight oversight on my part - BackerKit has been automatically emailing people that haven't provided their addresses for weeks and weeks now... to the email address linked to their KS account... so if they haven't seen that email - chances are, they won't see this update email either... Oops!
But if you are seeing this and you haven't got your order - please email [email protected] and I'll get back to you this week!
Thanks again,
Josh
Happy New Year + Supporting a friend! (Peak Design Users??)

Hello hello hello!
I hope everyone is having a great start to 2020! This'll just be a short update to say there are around 200 people that have not yet given their address so I am unable to get their pledge tiers sent to them...
If you are yet to receive yours, please email [email protected] so we can get it sorted.
Every now and then in the world of Kickstarter-creation, you get the opportunity to partner up, collaborate or just help out a friend - and that's exactly whats happened here, and why I'm about to share this campaign...
If you're a Peak Design user, listen up!
Peak Design products are fantastic, but the only problem we have with ours is their damn tripod plate and its Allen key screwhead. "if only they had a coin slot" - a thought expressed in many of the comments we'd seen online too.
So, for James' first campaign - we thought we'd solve the problem!
It's a replacement for the standard mounting screw you get with all Peak Design tripod plates (such as those on the V3 Capture Clip and new Travel Tripod!) - but it's made of titanium and features a coin slot!
To read all about it, or pick one up for as little as £3, head to the link below!
Tracking Numbers!

Thank you all for your patience, I know waiting on tracking info is never fun!
I've just hit the button on BackerKit to send out the first batch 1,655 tracking numbers - so check your inboxes over the next few hours to see if you're among them!
Long way to go... but thankfully more have been sent than I currently have tracking details for!
Due to the volume of orders and (weirdly) boxing time, its taking the fulfilment warehouse a tad longer than they'd anticipated to get everything shipped.
They have over 6,000 backer addresses locked in that they're currently working through.
Rather than spending too much time sending me daily tracking info lists, they're focusing on bulk packing-and-sending and will be sending me tracking info when they get round to it. As soon as the new lists arrive, I'll upload them to BackerKit and get the notications sent out to you all ASAP.
It's not ideal, but we figured you'd rather them be on their way and 'not be aware of it' than having to wait longer just to be able to track it from the very beginning...
I hope you're enjoying your weekends,
// Josh
If you haven't had your email - I haven't been given your tracking info yet.
SHIPPING HAS BEGUN!

Ultra Bird & Early Bird orders are soon to be on their way!!
The first 4,912 UB/EB backers to have provided their addresses in BackerKit have been exported and sent to the shipping company, where they’re being boxed up ready for dispatch ASAP.
Unfortunately this has happened 3 days later than planned due to some ridiculously stupid delays (not to bore you with it, and I don’t want to relive it as its been incredibly frustrating - but one of those days of delays was due to a video sent by the shipping company REFUSING to play - so I couldn’t feedback to them whether or not their packing process was correct until this morning…)
It seems no matter how well you plan things, there are always external factors that cause delays - but thankfully that’s behind us now!
Tracking Numbers
Everything is being sent via tracked delivery, and the tracking info will be available to you. BackerKit have provided a template document that should make this information automated, but if that doesn’t work the tracking info will be on a request-only basis due to the volume of orders being sent (ie. If you want it - you’ll need to ask for it).
I will post an update once I have the tracking information, so stay tuned for that!
Incomplete Surveys
If you have not yet completed your survey with BackerKit, please click this link:
Thank you for your patience, I really can’t wait for you to get your hands on them!!

LEFT - Many ULHgo's ready to go! RIGHT - ULHcombo packing example. Bubblewrap to give it a bit of extra protection to the boxes, address label will go on the outside of the bag!
Address Surveys

This may well be the shortest ever update you'll get from me...
The address surveys will be on their way tonight!
I have just sent what BackerKit call the 'smoke test' - its a random 5% selection of all backers to make absolute sure the system has been setup correctly and is all working!
IF YOU HAVE RECEIVED AN EMAIL, PLEASE RESPOND TO THE SURVEY ASAP - the faster I get data showing the surveys work, the faster I can get them sent to everyone else!
In the survey you'll be able to:
Provide your shipping address
Purchase any add-on items with no additional postage fee
Hopefully this will be music to the ears of many of you as I know you're keen to get your addresses provided so your ULH's can be shipped asap!
