Re: Intrepid 8x10 Camera
Intrepid should be shipping at the end of September to end of October for the Kickstarter group, I believe. So I am sure there will be a lot of experiences posted around that time. It will be interesting to see how many new owners are experienced with 5x4 or larger.

Re: Intrepid 8x10 Camera
They posted an update today 9/30 on the Kickstarter page, from which it sounds like the earliest they will ship will be mid October (or later).
I'm still very interested to hear about the camera from an actual user rather than the company itself.

Re: Intrepid 8x10 Camera
At 1/3 of what my Ansco view weighs, half the thickness when folded, and as cheap as it is, it will have to be pretty bad before I'm unhappy. :-) I would have liked to have back swings, but I will live without them.

Re: Intrepid 8x10 Camera
Has anyone received their Intrepid 8x10" camera yet? Can anyone post a review of sorts?

Re: Intrepid 8x10 Camera
I do not think they have started shipping yet... last message said end of Oct. I'm patient :)

Re: Intrepid 8x10 Camera
THanks for the update. For some reason I thought I'd seen a post that they'd started shipping to early backers of the Kickstarter campaign. I'm thinking of it as a cheap entry point into 8x10", with an eye to upgrade to either 11x14" or a more solid 8x10" platform later... After the initial hype, what are people thinking of this new Intrepid? Other than rear swing, what's it really missing? Rigidity and hard wearing components?

Re: Intrepid 8x10 Camera
I have mine. Arrived 20th Dec, but I was one of the early backers. Appears pretty well-made, the only gripe I have is that the back doesn't rotate in the way illustrated on the prototype, but instead you have to remove a couple of flat-head knurled bolts and lift the back out & rotate 90deg then screw the bolts back.
