First things first - THANK YOU.

You've all absolutely smashed it in the first 24hrs alone, I cannot wait to get these new ULH's into your hands! 

I've done a campaign video update where I answer a few of the initial questions - currently in an airport hotel, so I promise the future ones will be more interesting! For those that can't watch it / don't want to - I explain below what it covers! 

Big thanks to those that reached out about wanting me to send them a link for Kickbooster - I'm waiting to hear back from them regarding a couple of things, and then I will be making that available to anyone that wants to share the campaign.

Until next time, please keep the questions coming, and THANK YOU once again.

Will it fit onto a Moment Lens?

I dont actually own Moment lenses (I have the full set from Lemuro) but to answer the question they all do the same thing - and the answer is yes! Just pop off the ABS clip, stretch it over the lens of your choice and you're good to go! 

Will it fit onto a GoPro?

Yes and No - I don't really recommend the ULHmobile unless you're happy to crop in a bit to remove the vignette. I'd suggest going for the ULHgo and fitting it around the entire GoPro!

Blown away. 100% funded in 2.5hrs.

To be FULLY FUNDED within 3hrs is a dream, a MASSIVE thank you to the 409 people that got there first to make this happen.


So, what next?

Well, it goes without saying we have a long way left to go - 29 days to be exact. Not that I'm complaining, but thats 29 days of near endless phone checking and waking up at 2am in panic it was all a dream (this may happen once...)

For me the most exciting part is when you all receive them and start sending me the photos of what you get up to! So roll on that day!

I'm planning on signing up with Kickbooster this week - the platform that lets anyone who shares the project through one of their links earn a kickback as a thank you from me. If this is something of interest, chuck a like or comment on this update - or email me at [email protected] and I'll be sure to invite you to the program. The ULH exists on word of mouth from incredible people like you, so for that I cannot thank you enough. 


Until the next update from me, 


Thank you all so much for your support!

One Last Thing.


I know this isn't really the norm on Kickstarter or things in a 'professional' environment, but there is a little bit I’d like to add. (not to bring the mood down!)

At the end of 2018, a few days after spending a lovely Christmas surrounded by family, my Grandad passed away.

Having retired before I was born, I never saw him put on a suit and go to work (despite always being very well dressed) - the joke between us being that 'lazy git had never worked a day in my life’.

He was extremely well travelled, and along with his friends had cycled around several countries.

To say he was a huge influence on me, and my life, is an understatement. A lovely man, who is greatly missed by all who knew him, and who ALWAYS took the time to find out all he could about my many various projects. He absolutely loved that I was using a website called Kickstarter to connect with people all over the world who liked what I was making.

So this ones for you, Grandad. Wherever you are, and whatever you’re doing, I hope you’re finding all of this as astonishing and entertaining as I am. x
