One of 2016’s biggest camera flops<\/a>\u00a0was the independently manufactured Craft Camera.<\/strong> After following the debate in forums and having plenty of discussions here\u00a0in our\u00a0office, many wondered if the modular camera would ever come to market<\/strong>.

Dear preorder holder,<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, due to multiple constraints Craft Camera will not be manufactured in the foreseeable future. Therefore we will be refunding every preorder.

At that time every order will be refunded. You will be notified via email that your refund has been issued. Please allow 2-3 days for the refund to post.<\/p>\n

Thank you for believing in the product and showing your support!<\/p>\n
