faust

We’ve shipped the first three roc.camera devices from /faust 
and more start going out today 🪨 🎉 

Back in Oct 2024 we set a north star: build a camera that captures verifiably real moments for humans in the age of AI

And so here is our raw v1: 80% now, working on the last 20% -- excited to start testing that hypothesis today

We’ve been beta testing with a few folks the past few weeks and ironing out bugs / issues. Big thanks to the folks that have been willing testers (@7858.eth, @nicholas and @austink) 

Interested in providing feedback / testing? DM me

Domestic orders first (in the US) then international orders. Early edition $399 ends Aug 10, as we move into post-tariffs batch 2 pricing for v1. This is happening (!?)

If you've read this (yes, you) -- thank you.

Excited to get you a Roc Camera, and real human moments to you, soon

Capture verifiably real moments in the age of AI

we were so poor we had to reflow PCBs using a toaster oven

the pcb was on a tiny little baking tray, which proceeded to "pop" into a slight twist as it heated up (whoops)

SMT components and solder exploded everywhere inside the toaster oven.. 🤦‍♂️

this image gives me so much nostalgia for my early startup days 🥰

is there a reason for not using the standard hat form factor for those red boards?
