Glad to see so many fans here. I love reading how people are using MagMod, both the good and the bad. I don't spend as much time as I'd like checking out the conversations on the many forums, but since FM is kind of my "home" in forumland, I figured I'd chime in on a few comments.
For anyone that has had a failure with the MagGrip (it tore down the sides of the magnets), please send us an email. As others have said, we have since updated them and they are quite a bit improved. Like Tony had mentioned, this was not a problem with the many we had tested in pre-production, before our Kickstarter was ever launched. Based on some of the things we have tested, and the number of failures we have been made aware of, it is a pretty limited number. Since we cannot inspect the production mold personally, it's hard to make a solid conclusion on what happened, but we feel it is one of the cavities in the large mold. So far everyone has been happy with the replacements. We'll hook you up.
For anyone that has difficulties with the magnets coming out, we are well aware of the possibilities and frustrations that happens along with it. Had I had a lot more money to invest in dozens of theoretical designs, it could certainly have been improved. Since February we have been pushing the limits of the industrial design envelope and asking our manufacturers to experiment with some complicated methods of manufacturing and we feel we have landed on a great solution to make sure the magnets are secure, and stronger at the same time. I can't say the cats out of the bag just yet, but we should hopefully have some announcements soon Not to mention, we have some exciting new products in the lineup for this Fall as well. It's through feedback we receive, and find here on the forums, that allows us to make improvements and continue to innovate. LOTS of designs are in the works, but we're taking our time to make sure they're just right....Show more →
Great to hear on the magnets getting pulled out, it can be a real PITA when that happens. (and is one of the very few issues I have had, love these buggers)
