THANK YOU FOR BELIEVING IN US

We have come to end of our Indiegogo campaign. 854 amazing people including you have come forward to raise $365,042 to help make Tiny1 - The World’s Smallest, Smartest and Most Social Astronomy Camera, a reality. We’re stoked, and humbled.

I would like to take this moment to thank each and every one of you for believing in us and believing that the world needs to look up at the night sky.

We’ve spent the past two years developing developing Tiny1 and this company from scratch. Your support during the campaign made it all worthwhile.

With the end of this amazing campaign, we are prepared for the next chapter in our journey. We will now be working full time on fulfilling your orders.

What happens next?

Post Campaign Survey

All of you will receive a post-campaign survey within the next month, to capture vital information such as your shipping address, color choice etc. Watch out for the survey, once we have this information, we will be on track for delivery.

Delivery

We’re expecting to have the first complete Tiny1 online in August - September 2016. It’ll undergo field testing. Tiny1 will start shipping to Super Early and Early bird backers in December 2016. The Pre-order Special Backers can expect to start receiving their boards Q1 2017. Just in time for Milky Way season!

inDemand

Can my friend still order Tiny1? Can I add on accessories after the campaign ends? Yes, and yes! After the roaring success in our Indiegogo campaign, we will move our project to inDemand, which means more people can get Tiny1 and join the family!

Note, prices and offerings has changed for inDemand. You will also have the option to add on accessories through our inDemand page on Indiegogo or in the post-campaign survey.

Staying in Touch

You will be updated about our production progress and special offers through Indiegogo campaign updates like these.

If you have not already, do join our 4000 strong mailing list of Tiny1 supporters here, and like our Facebook page here!

E X T E N D E D 

Dear Tiny1 backers!

We’ve seen a strong wave of support in the last 24 hours thanks to you guys! Many backers like yourself are writing in to ask about the black edition. We love the black edition ourselves and would really want to build it.

So we extended the campaign by another 3 days to reach for the $350,000 stretch goal that unlocks color options.

Let your friends and family know about Tiny1 as this would be the last time Tiny1 will be offered at the campaign special price. 

Here’s how you can help: 

- Share and show-off your Tiny1 Backer badge

Click here to share this on Facebook!

- Get accessories or another Tiny1 (it makes a great gift!)

- Leave us a message in the comments section. The most inspiring/interesting/witty comment will be read out by TinyMOS founders in our campaign end video!

Thank you for your patience and support. Do note this campaign extension does not affect delivery schedule. 

Sincerely,
Grey

18 Hours to go! Help us spread the word

We’re 18 hours away from the end of our Indiegogo campaign and less than $25,000 away from our stretch goal!

At the $350,000 stretch goal, we can offer the black edition to all our backers. We’ll also have a backers vote for an additional limited edition color. The limited edition color will only be available to our campaign backers! Your color preference will be recorded in a survey after the campaign.

Here’s a quick look again at the black edition again:

Thank you for being part of the Tiny1 journey so far. Do help us spread the word and bring the black and limited edition versions to life. This is the home stretch now!

Sincerely,

Grey

Hi everyone!

We are 4 days away from the end of the campaign! Here are some exciting news for you!

Patent pending - positive search report!

In case anyone was wondering how we can capture the night skies with such small camera, it is due to our patent pending technologies. A key part of which is the hardware design and software enhancements.

We just received word from the Australian Patent Office of a favorable search report! That's a strong vote of confidence in our product's core strength in low light imaging!

New Perk Added - Mini Tripod

A lot of you requested for a tripod. We heard you and now, it's here! We're adding a sturdy mini tripod to our list of perk. The mini tripod fits in a day bag and is perfect for an impromptu night excursion.

Get it now!

Referral 

Want to win the tripod in our new perk for free? Yes you can. Refer one friend to get Tiny1 and you will receive the tripod free with your Tiny1! Check out the 3rd day update for a list of referral rewards. Just be sure to sign up for an Indiegogo account and be logged in when you share our campaign. When your friends click on your shared link and order Tiny1, it will show up on our dashboard and you will be rewarded. Let us know in the comments if you have any questions about how this works.

Thank you once again for your support everyone, it has been a phenomenal 3 weeks, you guys are the best!

Cheers,

Howl at the Moon with the MI Guitar while taking photos

Singing around the campfire and looking into the night sky is a timeless tradition. Our friends over at Magic Instruments want to help you howl at the moon during your next stargazing party! The MI Guitar is new type of electronic guitar that allows people with little or no musical talent; pick up and play faster than the speed of light*. Even more, MI Guitar features a removable neck, built-in speaker, and it's battery powered for maximum portability. We met Andrew Song, one of the co-founder of Magic Instruments during our SF trip last year, and we're happy to see they've come a long way! 
 
Check out their Indiegogo campaign by clicking on this special link which will give you access to free shipping for US Backers. 24 of 100 units have already been claimed, so don't miss out on this special offer.
 
If you live outside the US, please scroll further down the page to claim the $49 perk for "Reserve for International ONLY" to place your pre-order for the MI Guitar to lock it in to the $299 price.
 
 
Have a safe and happy 4th of July!
