One should also remember that on Kickstarter projects which are funded may never get delivered in which case your contribution is gone. There may also be huge waits. About a year ago I funded the "Sooundband" project. The Soundband is a headset which I guess for lack of a better description, is a bit like the Bluez, i.e. it transmits via the tissue from behind the ear and not via a regular driver that sits on or in the ear. Where the Aftershokz Bluez sits in front of the ear and uses bone conduction, the Soundband sits behind the ear and uses a different method, but apparently the sound quality is quite a bit better. Anyhow, back to Kickstarter. When I funded this last September with $135 US the goal was to have the Soundband going to backers by Christmas. Now a year later they say they are still working hard on the project with no expected delivery date, but it will definitely be at least another year.

The site is called Kick Start. I am not writing to promote the site but rather to tell everyone about a potential product which may interest us. The product is called PopScope. It is in essence a tripod with an arm for the phone. The nice thing about this product is that it is extendable. The site to obtain more information is https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/474886025/popscope-a-simple-solution-to -better-selfies-and-v It has a long way before it gets funded. I personally haven't decided whether I will participate but am leaning toward doing so. The reason I like the idea is that it looks to be a lot smaller than the Scan Stand and Giraffe. The only potential disadvantage is that it doesn't include lights. I know nothing more than what is on the site. -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.
