The lack of any 3rd party hands-on video reviews was the biggest red flag that halted any consideration I had to purchase this product.

they're coming!! but i appreciate your skepticism until there's more video proof, i am the same too many broken promises by other tech cos, i understand we have to earn your trust there should be more video reviews coming out on twitter though from early customers / testers .. if i wasnt drowning in launch, id try to find you a link, if anyone else could help !

  I have both rM and rM2. I reverse engineered the rM refresh API and made an open-source framework out of it. This device looks very interesting and I actually wanted to grab one to play with but the next batch ships so far into the future that I decided to wait. If you could send me a unit (which I'll of course pay for) on a more accelerated schedule, I'd love to explore the device. Let me know.

  What do you do with all the time you save on capitals and punctuation?

    To answer this question as someone who often writes messages the same way… typing that way isn’t actually much faster, but it’s often more enjoyable. It also helps to convey a more informal and relaxed tone.

  Publishing a sped-up video without telling us that it's sped up really killed all my trust I had in you guys. Seriously, what were you thinking? Your main and only selling point is the speed. So much so that that needs to compensate for lack of other features like resolution and color. And then you open the door to cheating accusations? You can now 100x say that it's really fast and no ghosting and all that, but your ethics seem to really believe it was no big deal, so at each turn down the line I'll have to question, perhaps here they also didn't think it's a big deal to pull some dirty trick? So disappointed. :(

    Killed my trust also, "drowning in launch" is no excuse for not rectifying this immediately. Posting a real-time video right now would take five minutes and clear up all this bad publicity right when they need to.

      There are other real time videos on this page https://daylightco.gorgias.help/en-US#article-493382 https://daylightco.gorgias.help/en-US#article-493382

        I've seen that page - it has 16 videos and it's unclear which are sped up, by how much, and which aren't. Some look sped up to my eye, and even if they aren't, I simply can't trust they aren't because they've shown they won't inform me so. This is a super bad look for a new product offering whose entire killer feature and market differentiation is based on its supposed blazing speed. Posting ANY video that's sped up, without clearly labelling by exactly how much, and when (eg, with a "3x speed" text overlay as is almost standard on internet video), is a huge mistake introducing a product differentiating on speed.
