Hi Everyone,
It's been a long time coming, but we're very proud to officially announce that the DP1 and its major accessories will begin shipping on May 25! (Pre-order on May 5 for earliest possible ship dates — See below for details).
As a result, the DP1 becomes the first available HD field monitor under 10 inches to feature either a 720p display resolution or a nearly indestructible, milled-aluminum housing in a package just over a pound and a half.
With some fresh, new improvements, we have finally nailed down every last detail in regard to the DP1 and have posted it in an exhaustive spec sheet on smallhd.com, so we sincerely appreciate your patience with the delays in releasing the enclosed information.
DP1 Specs
Pre-order May 5th ONLY — Save $75
SmallHD is conducting pre-orders in a very unique way.
ALL Pre-orders Must Be Made On May 5th. On May 5th, pre-orders will open to the public, but ONLY for 24 HOURS.
Credit cards will be charged when your pre-order is placed on May 5th. At your request, your order can be canceled and your credit card will be refunded.
By participating, you will save $50 on the DP1, as well as receive the DP1's protective neoprene sleeve accessory (a $25 value), for a total savings of $75.
Additionally, you will get the device before it is made available in early June to those who neglect to pre-order.
The price of the DP1 will be $799 in June. The DP1 Pre-order price is $749.
24-hour Pre-order Information (May 5, 2009)
You will be able to place Pre-orders for 24-hours ONLY. On May 5 at 12:00AM (Eastern Standard Time), the SmallHD.com shopping cart will open up for pre-orders, but will close down exactly 24-hours later (5/6/09, 12AM EST).
This is in an effort to benefit you early adopters by keeping the pre-order process from dragging out and extending the ship date, so don't miss the 24-hour window.
So that you won't forget, reminders will be sent out 1 day in advance of the 24-hour pre-order period to all those on the SmallHD mailing list. (If you got this email, you're on the list). We will also notify you the moment we open the site up to accept pre-orders.
Pre-ordered DP1s will begin shipping on May 25, and will be filled in the order in which they are received. The earlier within the 24-hour period you place your pre-order, the sooner you will get your DP1. All pre-orders will be filled before SmallHD.com opens its doors to regular orders in early June.
DP1 Accessories (Available for Pre-order)
SmallHD Battery — Finally, a 12 volt battery that ISN'T bulky and awkward. Measuring less than 3 x 5 x 1/2 inches, the 26 Watt-Hour SmallHD Li-ion battery will run the DP1 for over 2.5 hours. Get 2 of these for the price of one Tekkeon— with one always on the charger, you'll never run out of power.
SmallHD Battery Bracket — Mobile power is made easy by the SmallHD quick-release battery bracket that mounts securely to the back of the DP1, designed specifically for the SmallHD Battery featured above.
Click-in Sun Hood — Extremely effective, amazingly fast, incredibly compact. The SmallHD sun hood blocks out light and glare like no other. From it's impressively compact state when stored, it requires no more than 10 seconds to install, and even less to pack up when you're finished. Though its constructed dimensions measure 10" x 8" x 7", its packed dimensions measure far less than those of the DP1 itself.
U-Bracket — For all your tilting and pivoting needs. This device doesn't need much explanation, but that doesn't mean it's not extremely useful. It's made of anodized aluminum and includes a threaded steel insert for secure mounting. Rubber pads resist accidental tilting when everything is locked down. A must have for 35mm adapter users without optical image flip (such as ourselves).
Protective Sleeve — Made from neoprene that is 3mm thick, this sleeve gives an extreme level of protection to the surface of the DP1 when it's packed away for travel or storage. This item is included with DP1 pre-orders.
It's Official...
We've given you the specs and set the dates... It's up to you to spread the word. We're looking forward to a very exciting launch. Thanks in advance to all you early adopters out there.
