Where would you film a video like this?
A full, noisy park where you hear people and not the pump?
A living room with little space?
Sure, they could film now one more video from the front...
But this one is uncut, shows the full kite and at the end moves closer and clearly just one hose and one pump is visible.
Again, wait until I received one and made a review to be on the safe side. But then you need to trust me

Still feels off.
Maybe would not have been if this was their first video but with the history they have and someone hunching over the kite with the back blocking the view it still looks like they are hiding something.
There also seems to be a lot of effort put in to get more money which is quite strange since they are already many times over their initial ask...
I really hope it is legitimate but I will wait for some real-life experiences for some months (salty & sandy beaches are harsh environments) from e.g. reputable people on the forum here or on my local beach.
I will happily pay full price if it does ever launch.

Yeah, finally I start to believe
But without autostop or pressure display... I have to wait for the pro model anyway.

I will believe you only if you record video from the front, in the living room full of people.
Can't wait to see the epilogue of this story.
Sure it looks much more real bit still...

I am sure if the room is full of Brazilian hotties you will pay triple the price

I made a preorder. Expected delivery 11/22.
Wish me luck
If it's bullshit, they deserve my money for the effort they put into making it look legitimate

I got to admit if it was a pure scam why would you send one to Toby? Maybe I'm naive, but I do believe Toby would present a honest review of the product!
I guess I could see a scenario where Toby never receives the product. If I want to still be "skeptical".

not sure if this will arrive at this date. They told me end of December. But maybe that'S just for me receiving it...maybe the backers received it earlier.
