bassoverflow is correct. That survey that is sent is the backer kit after funds are collected. This ensures Foursevens ships exactly what everyone ordered, and has added any extras thru the backer kit. Filling that out allows You to change where You'd like the rewards to be shipped to also. This should happen sometime after 02:59AM EDT(11:59PM PDT) this Wednesday. The Backer kit is active for a few weeks to give everyone the chance to fill it out prior to Octobers shipping.

Thank You Everyone. 1000 Backers!

Thank you + Next Steps

Thank you for making our project a reality!

A few things need to happen before we can kick off fulfillment.

Here's a quick rundown:

  • First: Kickstarter needs two weeks (from the campaign close) to collect and transfer the campaign funds, and follow up with any Backers with credit card issues. Kickstarter calls this the "quiet period" but we'll be full speed ahead.
  • Second: we have to find out and where we need to ship your rewards and if you want to add any extra items. We’ll send out a BackerKit survey to collect this information when the quiet period ends.
  • Third: We've used BackerKit to manage all our previous Kickstarter projects. It's easy, secure, and makes sure we get you the right rewards as fast as possible. We love it and you will too.


Survey = Pledge Confirmation + Add on Items

*** Right now we are planning to send surveys on September 3rd,*** but we’ll give you a heads-up 24 hours before so that you can watch for it. You don’t need to create a BackerKit account to answer your survey. The invitation email contains a link to your personal survey. It is important to submit your responses as quickly as you can since we need this information to process your rewards. We can't ship your rewards if we don't know where to send them

You'll also be able to pledge for additional "add-on" items like additional Quark lights, Quark accessories, batteries/chargers, and other Foursevens lights!

Making Changes to Your Pledge

If you need to change your survey responses, modify add-on items, or update your shipping information, you can click the link in your survey email again or request your survey link under "Lost your survey?" on our BackerKit project page. (This page will only start working after we send the surveys out.)
If you prefer, you can contact me directly and give me your information, but answering your survey help us get your rewards out to you faster. BackerKit helps us save lots of time by streamlining the survey process, automating data organization, and providing us with pledge management software to make it easy to process your pledge reward shipments.
Basically if you ask us to take your shipping info over email, we are working on email instead of shipping rewards. You will not be able to add any extra items if you opt out of BackerKit.

We will email the survey based on the information below:

  • We will send the confirmation email to the address you have registered on your Kickstarter account.
  • If you used your Facebook credentials to log in to your Kickstarter account, the BackerKit survey link is sent to the email address you use for your Facebook account.


Again, thanks for all your support. We can’t wait to send your rewards!

Cheers,
Jason & the Prometheus Team

BackerKit Surveys Going Out This Week!

Posted by Foursevens

Hey Backers! Hope everyone is well.

Surveys will go out some time this week!

Today is the last day of the "quiet period" required by Kickstarter. We are ready to send out surveys pending the funds transfer. The quiet period ensures all of the pledges are processed and gives people time to resolve any credit card issues. If there was a CC problem, Kickstarter will have contacted you over the last two weeks.

Next Steps:

Once we verify the funds, surveys will go out to a small subset of backers. This is to ensure we didn't forget anything in the setup process and to make sure everything is clear. Once we get a certain amount of feedback (and verify our setup) we'll send out 100% of the surveys. The lag time shouldn't be more than a day or two.

I'm clarifying this point because people will start commenting that they got their survey and others will comment they have not. This is part of the process to ensure you are just as happy with your backer experience as the final product ;)

The Survey:

We use BackerKit to collect your shipping info an to confirm your Kickstarter pledge. You'll also be able to view and pledge for "add on" items via the survey. We are friends with the folks over at BackerKit and we've used them to fulfill/manage all of our 6 previous campaigns. You will not receive a Kickstarter survey. I only point this out for folks who have backed other projects that did not use BackerKit to manage their fulfillment.

Using BackerKit is not a requirement, but it makes our life (and yours) a lot easier. Please consider that if we need to collect your pledge confirmation manually, we are spending time doing email and not getting shipments out the door :) I and your fellow backers thank you for your cooperation!

Cheers,

Jason and the Prometheus Team

BackerKit surveys just went out!

Hey folks. Hope everyone is well! Let's get down to business.

BackerKit Invites

Many of you have already received the email and verified your pledge. Thanks! If you haven't already, please do that as soon as you can. This helps with a few things.

1) This is how I collect your shipping address so I can ship your reward!

2) Filling out your Backerkit survey is the only way I can get an accurate count on how many items we need to ship, and we need an accurate count to make sure we have enough stock to avoid delays. I will literally be pulling my hair out until everyone gets their information updated, and I can't afford to lose much more hair.

3) Completing your survey ASAP also means you and your fellow backers will receive your rewards in the most timely manner. Please don't wait :)

4) If you didn't get the survey, please check your spam filter and also note that the email will go to whatever address you have on file with Kickstarter. If you changed your registered email address *after* you backed this campaign, the email will go to the original address, not the new address.

5) If you have any questions or concerns about anything on the BackerKit platform, please email them directly via support@backerkit.com

Thanks, you folks rock!

Hey Backers!

Many thanks to the 91% of you who have completed your BackerKit surveys! If you have not completed your survey, please do so ASAP. You would have received several emails already, so if you can't find them you can email support@backerkit.com and they can help you out.

We will lock down all confirmed surveys this Wednesday, charge your cards for add-ons, and begin shipping Thursday!

So, this is your last chance to update your survey with any add-on items. It's a great chance to pick up accessories like batteries and chargers at a discount. Thanks so much for your support and we are looking forward to getting your rewards out to you!

Cheers,

Jason & the Prometheus Team

NEW Foursevens Quark MKIII Aspheric Lens Kit

#tight

The Quark Aspheric Lens Kit is HERE.⁠

I've been working on this in the background for over a year. The aspheric lens kit allows you to convert your Quark from a reflector-based light to an aspheric-based light. The white Delrin reflector (machined in-house) helps generate some spill, allowing you to see nearby surroundings while throwing a ton of light down range. ⁠This is the tightest beam you can get in a package this small.

Note: This kit will work with older Quarks (non MKIII) if you can manage to separate the head. They are glued shut and can be difficult (or nearly impossible) to remove.⁠

Save $10 on the VC4 Charger

Hands-down my go-to charger. 4 independent charging channels that can charge any chemistry. Now $10 off. There will be zero regrets.

$50 for a AAA clicky light? I dunno. I’m possibly warming up to it though. Just a quick question. Does this particular 219C have that horrible green tint that I notice on all other 5000K 219C’s? I like 5000K but haven’t seen a 219C yet that looks good at that temp. 4000K looks phenomenal though.

Are you talking about the Preon P1? Mine has a little green tint on the low mode, but at higher modes it is pretty much a neutral white. Unfortunately I don’t have any other 5000K flashlights to compare to. I usually go for 4000K.

Yes, I guess that would have helped if I had mentioned that I was talking about the Preon.

I have been buying more and more 4000k emitters to put in some lights and I now lean towards that temp when thinking about buying a new one.

Thank you.

That aspheric setup is nice. :slight_smile:
But have you considered making an aspheric flooder? Myself I love that smooth flood with sharp edges. And I love the compactness as well.

BTW, is there a new Quark Mini AA on the horizon?
