Hello All!

Pre-Made DIY
In July we added the DIY page to our web site. XOOT_Pro was designed for modifications. When people write to us with problems and or requests, we’ll try to come up with a solution. If come up with a good solution, we’ll post it here as a DIY project.
However, not everyone has to tools or abilities to make a DIY solution. Our New Pre-Made Kits page gives the option to order pre-made DIY solution.
We are testing several more solutions now, so expect see new DIY projects coming.

A Newsletter Question
Here’s something new. We’re going to end each newsletter with a question to our readers.
I recently had a reviewer say that XOOT_Pro is too difficult to assemble for regular artists. I agree that the assembly of the XOOT_Pro is a bit complicated (see: instructions). However, there is a tradeoff to shipping units pre-assembled.
Currently XOOT_Pro ships on a compact box. This saves in shipping, storage and materials costs. Shipping a pre-assembled units would more than double the current box’s volume. This could raise XOOT_Pro’s cost an extra $30 to $40 USD.
