A tripod mount, mini tripod (suspiciously similar to my mini Manfrotto) and remote shutter release for iPhones. How can we make it interesting? I know, let's paint it yellow and jump on the Snapchat bandwagon.
But seriously, I would buy this with less yellow and less cats. :-)
@frassmith Haha we only sell to people that like cats!
You're absolutely correct when you say we are jumping on the Snapchat bandwagon. What I mean by Snapchat bandwagon though might be different from your interpretation, what Snapchat have created is an incredible ad-hoc experience to share images, messages and videos.
Nobody seems to be able to knock Snapchat off their throne!
So we wanted to make a hardware kit that solves a problem our users already have and deliver it in the same way. By making a kit that can be used ad-hoc, is simple - and most importantly - easy for them to use! ๐
We're not reinventing the wheel - just delivering a kit that can solve a problem. With added cats.

@suparchie which is totally why I wanted to support you.
๐ฌ OK so I want to explain why we put this together:
A few months ago, around 1am, I was lying in my bed, staring at my phone (probably browsing a collection of the finest cat gifs ๐) - when I saw a notification that @rrhoover was livestreaming an unboxing of recent packages heโd received to his address on Facebook Live. ๐บ
As any true fan of The Hoov would, I eagerly hopped on the livestream in anticipation of watching the unboxing of an array of interesting and wonderful products that Ryan gets sent in the mail. ๐ฆ
I made myself a cup of tea โ๏ธ, settled it on my nightstand, adjusted my pillow and opened the stream. It was set up to be a really wonderful evening. ๐
However, things very quickly took a shocking turn. ๐ฑ
After a few parcels and letters were opened โ๏ธ it soon became clear that the livestream was almost impossible to do with one hand โ๐ญ
The most turbulent point of the evening was when Ryan ๐ฆ๐ผ, after receiving a Snapcode T-Shirt ๐ป in the mail from @lukemiller - tried to open a very well packaged item with one hand with great difficulty.
If my memory serves me correctly, in trying to open this package there were feet ๐ฃ, elbows ๐ช and teeth ๐involved as the parcel was ripped and torn open in a frenzy of cosmic startup irony.
How could we live in a world of so much incredible tech and yet still be so limited? ๐
I then remembered that in the last 6 months more and more of our users had been using their remotes exclusively for Snapchat (at CamKix weโve been making and selling Bluetooth remotes for two years).
So in part thanks to our users, and in part thanks to this livestream, the connection between the need for hands-free recording and Snapchat was born. ๐๐ป
We believe Snapchat is one of THE best platforms out there at the moment, and that people should be able to dance, play guitar, juggle, paint, and unbox stuff without having to hold their phone at all times with one finger pressed to the screen.
So weโve bundled together an inexpensive kit that includes an adjustable tripod and one of our remotes so you can Snapchat hands-free from now on!
Thank you to @nivo0o0for hunting us! ๐
Please feel free to ask any questions!

I think I'm in love with you guys...I mean your products. :)
Sarah, we love you too! So we got our cat mailman to put on her little backpack and then we put the kit inside the backpack and now she's on her way to your place with your order!
๐๐
Be patient, it may take her a couple days.
Thanks from all of us!

@suparchie I actually expect a cat at my door. I will snuggle her, feed her and send her back to you.
@nzieber Well it's really thanks to our team! And of course our users who gave us the great feedback to put this kit together ๐ Pleased to see a shout-out for Shenzhen - we're taking over! โค๏ธ๐จ๐ณ๐ญ๐ฐโค๏ธ
