Back-Ordered Pocket 4K

PostMon Jun 01, 2020 4:37 pm

Does anyone have any insight into when the Pocket 4K is going to be back in stock? I can't seem to find it in stock at Amazon or B&H or Adorama. I'm hesitant to preorder because I'm traveling so the time of its availability will decide where I have it shipped. I emailed B&H and they said they don't have any info.

Deleted per Tim Kraemer’s request...

Check around at some of the smaller retailers, you might find some available stock.
Cheers

Try Facebook Marketplace, if you don't want to hit up eBay. I just sold one BNIB for $1150.

If no big shop has it, while people are hit by an economic slump, it means that the camera is out of production. Probably a new pocket camera is coming in a couple of months.

Not sure about that. There is a ton of demand for everything to do with video and live-streaming ..anything involved in that is mostly not available or st least hard to find at the moment .

I bought four more cameras in the last month. Two of them P4k But I did a lot of searching and got lucky

So if B&W does not know, the info is not available. Retailers are usually notified when a shipment is in progress.

Check around at some of the smaller retailers, you might find some available stock.

Do you know when the Magic Balls are shipping?

I called BMD and they said that they are indeed short-staffed because of the current situation, but they are filling orders. It's just taking them longer than normal. That's as far as I got.

Do you patrol every forum and scold everyone that asks stock questions? Get a life man!!!!!


Tim I do not, and I have been active in this Forum since it started. I try to be as informative as I can, and this question gets asked every time their is a slow down in production or lag in shipping, so perhaps I was a little abrupt. I was not trying to be negative, just advising a new poster of what the situation is. Tell you what, if my reply offends you, I will delete it. Now you are the Forum cop! ;)
